    Got a pair of those for everyday, they look much more acceptable when tatty.

    A pair of Adidas Gazelle 2 Ibiza.

    Sleek, but with a pink surprise. :D
    Need replacing since they are nearing their second year.

    And for hiking/work/extended walking a pair of HanWag Yukon category B/C shoes:
    [​IMG]
    Bought them last year because my previous pair got too small after 8+ years of use. :thumb:
    Properly waxed and impregnated, so they are virtually waterproof.

    Yes, I work in an outdoor store, yes I walk a lot. ;)

    Some other shoes like the Teva Karnali Wraptor and a pair of TNF tent mules (but those are technically my slippers)

    work boots (top left), running shoes (mid left), The DC get the most use along with the green pumas, and the brown pumas at the back right are the going out shoes.

    Surely you've had beanbag shoes commissioned since then, Joe?

    Atm it's just some black plimsolls most of the time (which are in a state), and some espadrilles when the mood takes me. Will be getting some of these on payday though:

    My Tevas are quite a bit like these, but I can't remember for the life of me exactly what they are. I'll figure it out when I get home :thumb:

    Ecco Austins for work:

    Dye ATC's for paintball:

    Will update with better pics when I get home, these are the best google could find.

    My guess would be the Teva Toachi. Similar, but with less straps. (occupation craziness!) :blush:

    Jones for work; Clarks for leisure. I also have some CAT boots and some brand-name sneakers, can't remember which brand.

    Incorrect, sir! They have the strap going through the sole, same as yours, but the toe is open and there are a few less straps. It's a bit maddening, my google-fu is weak when it comes to shoes.

    At summer: Ecco Receptor. (That replaced my old pair of Ecco receptors. I think i had a pair of Ecco Receptors before those as well... ;)

    At winter: Sievi Gore tex boots. Or Army boots. The latter are pretty near exactly 10 years old, can be worn all year round and can handle everything you throw at them. Combine them with a pair of military issue gray wool socks (winter use), and you have the best boots ever! As long as they get shoe polish and some new laces every once in a while they last forever.

    At work: Spotec sandals.


    I also had some nice winter boots that had a weird kind of rubber in the sole making them very nice to use when it was icy outside. They seemed to never slip on ice. They did make black marks on floors if you dragged them ever so slightly, though.

    They're probably all Bindi's.

    My Diadoras, exceedingly comfy. I'm still not sure how I want to lace them.
