Poll of the Day > What shoes do you guys typically wear?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Over the last three years Ive been paying more attention to how I dress. Before that Id have one pair of Nikes and wear them down until I can stick my hand through the side or bottom and eventually get another pair...combine those shoes with some khaky/camo cargo shorts and a t-shirt one size too big for me and you had my daily uniform. But these days I'm pretty well dressed, thankfully. Started paying attention to fashion, it makes a decent difference in how people talk to you...I guess like any boost to attraction.

Anyways, shoe collection! The most important part of an outfit, along with fit.

Im wanting some black Chelsea boots and some red loafers eventually, but haven't decided on the pair yet.

Adidas. In case anyone tries to pronounce it differently.

---

I have a pair of completely blue Stan Smiths.
---

Usually new balance because it's the only brand that consistently has my size in stock

---

Retired, no longer in a heels and hose environment, so sneakers or moccasins. If I go to a reception or something, okay, hose and flats that aren't overly scuffed or ratty.

---

Whatever is black and 30 bucks at wal-mart, I'm not into shoes, rather have a nice sweater or shirt.

Either tennis or flats most of the time.

Black boots I got for Christmas.

You just need to know how to walk man, going heel first on ice is like a death sentence man.

Going out drinking - black boots.
Going out hiking - Quechua hiking boots
Casual wear(mostly daily) - None brand trainers or sometimes Earth Works steel toed boots.

The most I've ever spend on footwear is 30. I don't give folk more attention who ware brand names all the time too. IF a place sells good looking cloths I buy them regardless of brand. Primark over here has cheap enough prices and I can often find good cloths in their. Even more so some that are on sale. I see no reason not to buy them or pay more elsewhere.

It's good when folk are self aware. It's pointless me clearing things up but for future reference I've had several jobs so perhaps next time you shitpots about me it'll be more accurate. Then again maybe it won't be as that probably wouldn't get you as much attention.

---

You haven't had a job in recent years though, so it's really not important. You do not and will not work, that's the joke, what you did is irrelevant.

In the house, flipflops. If I'm walking the dog, my floral wellies. If I'm just out in my chair, or going to a gig, usually black ankle boots, unless it's really hot, then maybe outdoor flipflops or the platform sandals I got in Toronto over a decade ago. For Pride I wear my rainbow-holographic kitten heels. I have some knee-high black boots someplace, but they need mending, they're leaking at the toes.

I don't really have very many pairs of shoes, because I don't walk a whole lot outside my home now I use a wheelchair most of the time, and I was never comfy in heels much above an inch before that.

I once had a beautiful pair of Prada Criollo boots, brown suede, found via a fellow Whovian in an outlet store somewhere in Australia. They're an exact replica of the pair Alex Kingston wore to play River Song during the Doctor Who episodes set in Utah; I got them for cosplay. Sadly, I no longer have them, because one of the movers stole them during my last move and since I wasn't the one who organised their employment, I couldn't get hold of them to find out who swiped them and demand them back. I've never managed to replace those. *sigh* I don't very often own designer clothing or footwear, but I loved those boots.

Sketchers

One pair.. both for work and going out

Overdue for a new pair, but the store is closed

---

Black Nike Air Max 90s are my dailys

It is when your claiming to be surprised someone has work boots and that they have never had a job. You're just changing the goal posts at this point digging yourself a bigger hole. It's time to stop and it's also time for me to stop responding to your shitposting.

I suppose since you never work it's not surprising you still have work boots. See I, an employed person, go through at least 2 pairs of those a year.

I have:
- black under Armour project rock 2 training shoes
- white under Armour project rock 2 training shoes
- rainbow colored Nike train quicks
- low top leather converse
- brown bull boxer dress shoes
- brown Nunn & Bush dress shoes
- black Dr. Martens dress shoes
- tan hiking boots that I don't even know the brand
- Steve Madden brown and white street shoes

That's about it. Now that I think about it, I haven't bought a new pair of shoes in over a year.

Any good? I find waterproof ones to be a must. Even more so when using stepping stones or crossing streams.

They're not great. I got them from Walmart 6 years ago. I seldom wear them, because I don't often hike on rough terrain anymore, since I've moved to Toronto. I don't even think they're waterproof.

Ah. That sucks but I guess if you don't often hike on rough terrain anymore it's not a big deal.

Are you really? Theres a lot of practical reasons for have them for at home, not just professional tradework. We should totally try to make PotD a nicer place to be and not insult people in completely unrelated topics.

Ive been wanting a pair of waterproof boots Something with a Norwegian welt. I heard a lot of praise for these.

It is hard for me to find shoes that fit. I have a small foot and have to buy from the children's department. I have bought little kid light up, glittery shoes for the fun of it before to wear. When I was working though I wore black ankle boots. Because of my foot size I went by what fit, not brand. My tennis shoes that I currently own are Nikes but again, whatever I can find that fits.

I wouldn't bother man. He's incapable of being anything more than what he is. You're however right. They are useful for my hiking/walks too!


---

Work boots for work, a pair of sneakers (Sketchers) for anything else.

---

Black Reebok DMX Max. They have air cushions in the soles and I'm on my feet all night at work.

Only thing is the soles aren't waterproof, so if they get soaked, the cushions will deflate permanently. I have a pair of cheap Walmart sneakers to wear to and from my car if it's raining.

Remember when you said you use your hiking boots for hiking and your steel toes for casual? Yeah nice retcon.

Nothing worse than that. I had to throw some footwear out that got soaked and smelled like shit after drying them out. Thankfully those were just cheap footwear so it wasn't surprising or a big deal.

No Jesus shoes, that's for sure. They apparently cost like $1,500+ originally. Then the person (probably a scalper) bought them and is selling them for $4,000. I personally hope they get stuck with them.

Also, my mom just bought some like $800 shoes for my sister, I think. For her birthday.

Vans FTW (Walker Pro model to be specific).

Nah, not the interior, the outside, the soles.

Around the farm I mostly wear a pair of cheap rubber mud boots. But they're terrible in the summer because they don't breathe at all. And the backs always crack after 1 season making them worthless as mud boots.

I had a pair of cheap western boots from Walmart, but the sole is literally falling apart after wearing them almost daily for 3 years. Walmart doesn't carry that boot anymore and I've been having trouble finding anything similar at a decent price.

When I go into town for work or shopping or whatever, I have a pair of steel-toed boots from C.E. Schmidt, which is think is Tractor Supply's in-house brand.

I have a pair of Hush Puppies dress loafers that I think I've worn less than 20 times in the past 15 years. The soles barely have any wear.

Whenever I see things like this, I'm reminded of something George Carlin said: "They find out I like something, they stop making it."
