/fa/ - Fashion

lol i h8 2 admit it but i had a dream like that once
i had laceless cargobaskets w/ huge tall socks and some kind of short and a like a silk l/s and one of the leather sleeve denim drkshdw jackets
i felt like such a fashion victim when i woke up
usually i dream about more abstract things

>this is what it feels like to own geos

>>7007932
Every time I put them on I get this warm feeling in my chest.

>>7007979
rly?

are they comfy?

>>7007932
>tfw no qt persona 4 anime gf

>Beat up

Uh, I don't understand why you'd spend that much money on such a nice pair of sneakers only to neglect them until they look like total shit.

Nothing better than copping an item brand new and opening that shoe box for the first time knowing they've never been worn..

I copped a new pair of geos last week after passing on a used pair for only $100 less, and I'm glad I did, they look so much nicer in mint condition.

>>7007998
Yes. Oh yes they are.
>tfw waiting on my resizing pair but LVR screwed up and have to wait til november to encase my feet in glorious italian leather again ;_;

>>7008010
B-b-but just look at these!

>>7008033
the sa at darklands had these fukken annihilated ramones boots
they had the old staple sole which was worn down to the second pair of staples and was all crushed and distended
he had the tongues folded down and the leather had really dense creases in it
the zipper pulls were broken and stuck in a half zipped position

>>7007998
It's almost more of a sculpture than a shoe. everything about it feels substantial on a grand scale. You spend years as a sneaker fan, searching for that one perfect shoe, and then when you've found it... well, it's a joy to put on.

>decide to cop
>wake up

true story

>>7008019
>tfw thinking about buying geos

mayb after the ramone boot B^)))))

>>7007998
no you can barely climb stairs with them
running is almost impossible

>>7008063
Undone ramones look pretty terrible on anyone that isn't rick himself imo

>>7008069
that's why you wear running shoes m8

>>7008047
oh mang.

When I bought my first pair of white shoes (AF1's lel) I was very keen on keeping them clean. Then I saw all these sick pics and other people wearing their worn out pairs and instantly changed my view on shoes in general.

When they're in mint condition they just look like I only wear them to impress. Ofcourse I want to impress because lol, why would I otherwise spend this much on shoes & clothes? I want to give the world a point of view of nonchalance, so to say.

Sorry for rambling.

>>7008063
Ramones without laces are so sex!

>>7008072
they dont come w/ laces homie u cant do em up

>>7008074
just saying that they aren't that comfortable
i'm wearing them laceless now with a furry insole
feels great when you sit down but stairs are a nightmare

>>7008078
my boot zips broke in europe so now i can only wear em down
looks cool imo but im pretty sure i overheard someone talkin shit to their friends (not 2 my face ofc im scary af)

>>7008085
is this some kind of gentle troll or did you buy a pair of shoes nine sizes too big?
theyre just boots whose outsole metamorphisized into a rubber sneaker sole. how can they be so awkward for you.

>>7008072
idk

ramones worn the "proper way" looks kinda odd 2 me

>>7008096
they are really heavy and lose around the ankle

>>7008106
so are plenty of my shoes
>he doesn't even lift
lmao
seriously tho stop draggin ur feet u got nice shoes now werq em

>>7008110
they are nice and i love them but i'm used to lows and really tight shoes

look at the boots in ricks fw13 womens runway. it looks great but they can't be comfortable

>>7008072
ramones (boots) doesn't come with laces. The tongue is stitched to the sides of the shoe, so you couldn't lace them to be tighter anyway.

last night I had a dream that me and my boyfriend drove around town and mocked people wearing fake geobaskets
I don't have a boyfriend.
it was weird.

>>7008130
i have plenty of shoes with loose ankles, and you yourself mentioned lotops which dont hold at the ankles
the only place a shoe needs to hold your foot is across the vamp. it sounds like you bought a size too large or need thicker socks.

those shoes are definitely comfortable, i have rick heels and theyre a-m-a-z-i-n-g
incidentally they have loose ankles and it doesn't make them any less comfortable :^)

>>7008162
u a grill?

>>7008177
Look at the pictures twerk posted IIT and ask yourself that question again bruh

>>7008189
is that a dude
genetically
like
XY

>>7008177
He's just gay, nothing wrong with that man.

>>7008177
idk how do i tell?

>>7008192
maybe, im not worried about it because i aint gonna fap to it but if ur gonna do that u can just imagine whatever u want m8

>>7007979
Are the insoles removable?

>>7008203
im not gonna cheekbones turnin me off hardcore
nice makeup job tho i'd hire whoever did it

>>7008162
they fit nicely in the length and the toebox is is nice too but right under that thing where you can put the laces through is a patch. it would be nicer if the shoe was a bit tighter at that patch but that's probably just because my feet are kind of flat
>>7008214
there is a poorly glued thin leather sole that consists of two parts so you need to wear an insole anyways if you don't want it to rip open

>>7008213
ikr japanese cosplay is p next lvl
i gotta learn their secrets so i can look more like an anime character irl

>>7008230
lol thats standard operating procedure for insoles m8
ive owned mountains of boots whose insoles are like that

>>7008214
They don't really come with insoles, they come with a half leather insole and they're roomy. This was tricky for me at first because they really benefit from some sort of insert imo. I went through a bunch of different insoles before finding that my old Supras fit them perfectly.

>>7008241
>>7008236
>>7008230
Thanks for your help.

>>7008241
that doesn't make it better
>m-muh rik
why do you get so defensive? cps have one thick leather insole

>>7008162
>the only place a shoe needs to hold your foot is across the vamp
this explains so much shit to me
thank you twerk-o

>>7008256
>why do you get so defensive?
>m-muh rik

what is wrong with you
stop trying to pick fights with trips for no reason
it's really self-destructive behaviour

>>7008256
im not being defensive, im lecturing you on the common properties of shoes because you have some bizarre expectations
a wide variety of shoes across a broad spectrum of price points and quality utilize that sort of insole. it is not indicative of poor or cheap construction.

>wearing clown shoes
>2013

lmao

>>7008270
the insole is really thin and if you don't put one in yourself you will rip it open.
how is is a bizarre expectations for 1k shoes not to have this issue?

>>7008283
what is the relationship between price and insole type

>>7008283
ive had plenty of shoes with exactly that style of insole which did not rip and which were perfectly comfortable, including my rick heels. your experience is not every one else's.

>>7006121

w2c moderately priced leather jeans?

>>7008296
why do they make them this way? is it necessary for the construction or just cheaper?

>>7008314
because everyone's orthodic needs are different.
traditionally you'd cork the midsole with, cork, but now it's synthetic corking, either way with wear it molds to the shape of your foot beneath the insole itself. this makes fancy scholls insteps unnecessary, but if you don't have a healthy foot or a good stride it can cause problems.
but if only some of your customers need it, why provide an insole that the rest won't when they can cheaply get one of their own? especially since every customer that will need one might need a different one.

>>7008292
what is the relationship between price and quality of the material?
what is the relationship between price and design?
what is the relationship between price and country of construction?
what kind of mindset is this?

>>7008342
Different insole types are not neccessarily better

ur retarded and ur assuming that there is a relation but unwilling to admit it because you want to beat twerk it in an argument because of some psychological problem that you can't let go of

jog on m8

>>7008344
fair enough but i would still expect it just as a better customer experience the same way apple builds their computer nicely inside

>>7008373
if you hadnt put the instep it the corking could have done its job and you wouldn't have needed one, which was the point i made in the post you quoted

>>7008299

The cheapest (without feeling too cheap) that I've encountered have been, surprisingly enough, often from Diesel and/or Black Gold. It does mean you have to put up with a little bit of obnoxious branding, but the fit and leather quality are good enough that the tradeoff doesn't seem awful. BLK DNM has a leather pant for women that's a core style, but I don't recall if there's a men's equivalent, but those clock in around $900-$1000, which is where most full leather bottoms start in the contemporary/boutique market. Alternatively, try a leather look like a waxed/coated denim, particularly something with a touch more polyurethane in it to give it that glossy, less denim-y feel

Here's a Diesel pair if you want to investigate.

>>7008373
cool idea but

the whole problem with that is youre talking about shoes and the thing about shoes is they go on peoples feet and the thing about feet is that feet vary in size

>>7008096
the shoes look nice and everything but I've never actually seen any nice fit, that chinese acne'd guy is the best so far but can't really judge since he's not standing,

>>7006121
m80, I have the exact same pair of trousers and shoes.

>>7008426
>guy

>>7008426
lol are you stupid?

>>7008426
try the runway shows
or the campaign photos
or the store photos
or find the 0.1 percent of internet fashion fits which have girls in them

>>7008437
maybe his gf too but idk, he's short enough to wear heels I think

>>7008446

>>7008454
he said he's 5'11 but that was probably a lie

>>7008426
so is it a girl wearing them? I'd wear those pants and shoes comfortably as a man.

>>7008403
Where's the 'obnoxious branding' you mentioned? I don't see it in the pics. Not trying to be a smartass btw just want to know what to expect.

>>7008472
it's a guy
