Who says I don't call them the same thing?

I have several pairs of the pic above. White and black, White and navy and white on white. All in various stages of being worn out.

I also have a pair of Adidas blue suede running shoes with orange stripes. But I can't find a pic on the web.

I have these Steve Madden sneakers that they don't even sell anymore, that I got for $12 at one of the discount shoe stores on clearance. I also have these brown ones that I don't even know what brand they are (at the same store).

Shoes are way down the list of things I care about.

I do have some Allen Edmunds dress shoes that I wear for work. But I don't like them because they're not comfortable.

90% of my shoe wearing day is this...

The other 10% is this...

I have some old Superstars....very worn out at this stage, looks similar to yours.

I also have a pair of navy blue suede Gazelles. While I love them because they are very Beastie Boy, they are super uncomfortable to wear all day because the sole is flat as a pancake.

TripletDaddy · 11-03-2008, 08:07 PM

tick, are your boots work-related, or do you just find those more comfortable?

il Padrino Ute · 11-03-2008, 08:11 PM

I wear these: the New Balance Grand Slam

But I just found out that I can now buy these, so I will soon get me a pair:

Yes, the classic Adidas Superstar is again available.

I'm all about that.

I work in the oil field. Required. But I sport the NB on the way to work.

To be completely honest though...

I have a 2nd pair at the house of the Wolverines...the company pays for a new pair every year. They are the best shoes to work in. If I paint, repair/replace anything, yard work the whole bit...the best.

My girls make fun of me when I wear them into home depot. The one thing I have learned. Wear Steel Toe Wolverines into Lowe's or HD and you get helped first.

Mine are more pure black and reddish orange. Sure to please Ohio.

My rainbow flip-flops, or a pair of black loafers that I bought at nine west 3 or 4 years ago...to the gym a pair of some run of the mill tennis shoes I purchased back in High School, and around the house, my BYU slippers.
