Post the shoes you're wearing.

all adidas shoes i had in the last few years sucked ass and felt like they make me walk funny.

they are all comfy for the first 5 minutes and then i always start to get footcramps in them. the insoles are always trash, tongues usually slip all over the place and they never look appealing from the top down. for some reason they always look good from an outsider view, no matter how weird they might fit or be laced up. so they got that going for them.

i feel tricked by adidas, like they make shoes that pretend to be fine for exactly the time it takes for you to wear them so much that you can't take them back when you notice they actually suck. so then you keep on wearing them despite them being ass, since you already have them. good thing most my pairs were rep hand me downs, so i didn't lose much money on adidas shoes. but i bought superstar advs and those shoes can go eat a dick.

tjs and those st models are probably better from what i hear, never had those, that soccer shoe is not my thing but looks better, too.

Okay yeah you just confirmed that I in fact don't want to try the superstar advs. It seems like every 6 months I get this itch to try some adidas because like you said, they look cool on other people. As soon as I try them on they feel like shit, my heel slips out of every model while simultaneously feeling too small, and the top-down view is terrible with all the stripes. I was about to pull the trigger but thanks for saving me 60 bucks!

Adidas Tonnesen Samba ADV, modified with a seam ripper

these are waaaaaay better than the usual Samba ADVs because it's all one piece, rather than the clunky (and separate) t-toe
and the suede is super soft rather than the stiff faux-leather or whatever on the usual samba ADVs

sole is also grippy for a cup

I picked those up like 6 months ago at Burlington coat factory for $15. They were awful after the initial stoke wore off. Super shitty insole, thin unsupportive cup. honestly hurt my knees just walking in them.

dang.  I'll give em a stern talking to next time i wear em.

I love those Gustav Sambas - but what I truly hate about Adidas is their sizing: they don't have equal increments between the sizes. The difference between size 8 and size 8.5 is .20" while the difference between 9 and 9.5 is .10" - so stupid. Why not just keep the increments the same? If a nike 8 is the same size as adidas' 8, you'd think all the sizes would be equal.

Super supportive and comfy shoes that feel great after skating. Last ages too.

They’re a staple in New England footwear

LOL at everybody's brand new Birks.. are you really even a Birk-head if they're not decaying and spraying cork particles with every step?

Forreal though, Birks along with Clarks are shoes that just get more comfortable with age. Great shoes.

are you birk shaming us!? We must unite don’t tear us down.

The pair I’m wearing in that picture are 6 years old

When worn properly with white socks, Birk's will outlast the person wearing them by 150 years or more. I am ordering a pair of Boston's and I fully expect at least 2 generation's of usage.

RESPECT; chill shoes are the best. Driving loafers for me but I love relaxing fancy shoes

[Bizarro Jerry]

Thanks, they are easily my most comfortable shoes I own. They're basically my house shoes.

Got the Spanky G6 today and they feel so good and look great, I might keep them as chillers though.

That's not the story for me. One summer of chilling in my berks and I'm through to the cork. I don't think I walk like Quasimodo, but maybe I do. I have now moved on to the EVA version which is good but nowhere near as plush. You can get them wet  which is handy when launching my yacht with all the berk appreciating babes watching on.

Yeah these are nice!

They skate really well too if you go that route!

[GumOnMyGrip]

A friend found some old Trapasso’s and gave them to me...I really wish they still made these.

[Bristol_Palin]

Impulse buy. Wish I let my wife talk me into a different color way. Wanted this one because it was supposed to be a homage to Guy's axion shoe. It should be fun to skate something different.


Also I've been skating mostly GT blazers for the past few years. I actually recently remembered I had a grey pair that I never ended up skating that are brand new in my home office. My current skate shoe was the Rowan's, but I'm looking forward to skating these. My Rowans really aren't that blown out. They're a pretty durable shoe. Maybe I might try making a different shoe rotation with the Rowans, Tiago and the GT blazers, but I can also see that kind of messing with my head.

[Bizarro Jerry]

Nice Tiagos but god damn that's a sweet view.

[Bubblegum Tate]

Last two SB pickup and wears.

[finknoos]

I'm really tempted by those air trainers but i dont have a lot of cash, so best not i reckon. For now at least.
