    I've been wondering, what shoes do the users here wear? Please share the info, and perhaps a photo. :D

    I'm currently wear Diadora Graffitos in red, white and black, and Reebok Hex Ride Rally IIs in blue and white.

    For fencing, Adidas CC Feather IIIs, all white with black stripes.

    I like-a my shoes.

    [​IMG]
    Couldn't find the right color, imagine that the front blue section is all white, the logo is black, and what's behind is red. Also not sure why they look like they're made of velvet, mine's all leather.

    [​IMG]
    Yellow -> blue. I wear them for working out, which means they don't get worn much. :p

    [​IMG]
    I would recommend the Feather IIIs for any fencers, far better quality than dedicated fencing shoes, and about 90% cheaper.

    So go ahead, share. I'm curious. :thumb:

    Intersting topic for the forum, I guess I'll add my £0.02

    Trainers - Nothing but Nike Air for me I'm afraid. Call it fanboyism if you want but I love em, and have been wearing them for running and training in for about 5 years now. At the moment my favourite pair are some dark blue with silver detailling TN Air's. They must be the most comfortable pair of trainers i've ever worn!

    Sports shoes - The ones I wear most often for golf are a pair of Footjoy Dryjoys:

    [​IMG]

    I also have a pair of new Hi-Tec "Dri-Tec" shoes which are slowly but surely getting broken in for more regular use. I wear a pair of Karimors if I'm out for a long walk or cycle.

    Suit Shoes - I have a pair of black slip on Barkers for special occasions like weddings etc, and I also have a pair of black Gucci slip ons. The ones I wear most often though, for work visits etc, are Kickers. The only pair of brown formal shoes I have are Urbane.

    Casual - Brown suede Sketchers with jeans. Have some casual Fly London shoes, and a pair of brown Nushu ones for jeans too.

    I have too many shoes for a guy. I'm worse than some girls when it comes to clothes too :hehe:

    Depends on the occasion!

    For the "dress Smart" stuff I've got a pair of Espy.. things. Hate 'em, but they fit the bill for "don't look like a scruffy gimp".

    Airsoft, pair of Magnum Elite Spider 8.0's. Running shoe of boots - Lighter and more supportive than any trainer I've ever tried. Also use them for gym. Get weird looks, but my feet are comfy and that's all I care about.

    Modding, a pair of Vans that're at least five years old. They have holes in and no sole. They're awesome. No picture because no one even remembers them being made, let alone carries pictures. Mine're also disgusting, and no one would want to see a picture of them.

    General, pair of DC's. Christ knows what style, but they fit, which is the key part.
    [​IMG]
    Pretty much that, but all black.

    Buying shoes is something I detest doing, because my feet are size 14 it's an effort to find something that fits, let alone something that I really want to wear.

    I forgot to add my most important pair of all... My black, steely toed CAT work boots :thumb: For use in the workshop or the factory, or anywhere that heavy stuff is being lifted or carried around.

    A pair of Vans that a quick google has revealed are called Authentic Demitasse, which strikes me as too grand a name for a pair of £30 canvas shoes. Still, a quality look :)

    Taking that out of context provides some really unusual and disturbing thoughts.

    [​IMG]

    Otherwise a pair of M&S flip-flops if it's shorts weather, just bought a pair of Adidas Morka for wetter conditions:

    [​IMG]

    Also have a couple of pairs of M&S leather shoes, an all-black pair of hi-top Converse, another pair of black patchwork Converse, some cheap-o Umbro astroturf football shoes and Asics Gel-Stratus 2 for running:

    [​IMG]

    Apparently I have quite a lot of shoes :lol:

    For casual/everyday - some Vans:

    [​IMG]

    For hiking/fieldwork - some Berghaus Explorers:

    [​IMG]

    Plus some more fancy shoes for smart/formal occasions and an el cheapo pair for work.


    I'm another person that despises shoe shopping, and I mostly buy them online if I can as I know I'm pretty much a 12 for any shoe, although I always need to try on boots to see if they're comfy. I probably only buy new shoes about every 2 or 3 years or so, when I've worn out the old ones so much that they're no longer functional (I used to get wet feet with my old DCs whenever it rained because I wore through the soles).

    These days I mostly be wearing..

    Work
    Prada loafers - Black
    Gucci Loafers - brown
    Oliver Sweeney Chelsea - Mahogany
    Oliver Sweeney Soho boots - Black

    Play
    Y-3 Field - black suede
    Y-3 Field - bronze leather (not as garish as they sound)
    Nike Presto - black, white and neon Green (exactly as garish as they sound)

    Various other shoes & trainers, but the ones above make it out of the house the most.

    Yes, I do shoes, what of it!
