Question:
I have a sudden urge to buy 5 pairs of shoes. For sure that's overkill. Especially with a dry bank account like mine.
Currently this is what I wear (shoe wise):
1 (pair) Hush Puppies: Semi-Formal black loafer. comfortable. love it.
1 Puma futurecat beige/brown: quite dirty... still wear it every day. my standard shoe.
1 Asic trainer white/black: almost all black now. this is my 'neglect' shoe, i wear it to work (dirty environment...). needs to be replaced. i'd never wear out in public unless i'm walking to work lol.
1 new balance runner: gym duty
2 converse slip-ons. beige/checkers and black.
now I want 5 more pairs. 2 pairs of gucci trainers, 1 pair of gucci velcro sneaker, 1 pair of lacoste velcro, 1 pair of vans slip-ons (classic checkers that every mod scenster has....)
I'll probably end up only buying 1-2 pairs of gucci and 1 pair of lacoste instead.... but I'm torn! I want all of them!
lol.
need something sorta-flashy to go with my dh 19cm blacks (i just wear my black slips for this now)... and a new everyday duty for my APCNS.
not to mention when winter comes i'll need another pair of boots or something....

hm.
i don't have a pair of chucks..... i need one of those.. probably black low-rise........
Answer:
Im not quite shore what the point of your post is, but I have to say that youre wishlist is pretty horrible... velcro guccis and lacoste? Settle for 2-3 pairs of chucks instead, cheaper and will last you style-wise.
Answer:
Yeah the shoes you want look pretty horrid...
Maybe check out some Tretorns? They're pretty nice, and not too expensive.
Answer:
Hey,
Yeah, I wasn't sure what my post was either. I think I was on a impulse-buying spree and saw all these shoes I was interested in.
Chucks are classic and that's undeniable. However, I don't think I can buy more than one pair. It's something everyone has and although it's great, it's not what I'm looking for.
I want a nice pair for shoes that are fancier, that's why I'm looking at the guccis.
I've decided I don't like the Lacoste as much. It's between the 3 guccis now. I really dig the velcro and the trainers (white/strip) but the gold one is kinda out of place. I'm not sure I can pull off something that flamboyant hah.
I'll check out Tretorns, thanks!
Answer:
I was going to say, out of these, get the white guccis, but then I saw the monogram was still there. Garish labels are just unpleasant, especially if they are the (as someone said) "canal-street" monogram.
If you're looking for "fancier", look at Common Projects, they are simple takes on other people's classics, but a step above.
Answer:
Why are Nike Air Force Ones not big around here? From what I know they are the ULTIMATE classic shoe... no?
Answer:
^^
too big and chunky.
Answer:
Really? Wow that's odd, any more reasons why they ain't liked? I don't think they are clunky at all. Maybe I'll make a thread about this sometime...

Muchos gracias for the warning!
Answer:
I hate nike, and basketball shoes with denim, so I skip the AF1s.
Answer:
AF1=Gaudy. Same thing with Jordan's. They make you look like Sideshow Bob if you wear them with slim jeans (or any jeans for that matter).
Answer:
AF1 are classic street wear. They were released in an era when pin-tight jeans were in vogue, and yet they still outsell entire *brands* in 2007.
pleeze stop with the lacost/gucci :sarcasm:
Answer:
Thse gucci shoes are ugly. You can get better quality shoes at payless than lacoste. Lacoste quality in shoes is horrible.
