That Ho Over Here said:
Can't find a pic online but I scored some silver platforms/brogue type things that give me sci-fi vibes. Now that the NHS has finally set me up with a leg brace I am enjoying wobbling about in them. I'll probably never wear heels again so thank the emperor for fuckin space age platforms.

I'm reminded of "40 Year Old Virgin" where Jonah Hill has a cameo as a man who wants to purchase silver glittery disco boots.

edit: but I would totally wear those if I was the 60s/70s vintage fashion IG model I've always dreamed of being, so no real hate for you, Ho.
 
Got these a few weeks ago:

And have these on the way:

@Nuttelex I've got a pair of the human race NMDs too. Biggest footwear regret ever. Can't find any way to make them look good on feet at all. This seems like a way better colorway though and someone with a different build/wardrobe could probably rock the hell out of them.
 
@DiddyKongMain1989
Yeah I've since discovered I can't either hahaha I think they're for people 20 years younger than me. I'll sell them to my girlfriends nephew, he's the same size as me and about 20 years younger lol
How did you find the fit? I kept seeing mixed reports so I went TTS but they're definitely a snug fit, should have gone up a half I think.
 
They look neat how they are though. Use a leather conditioner to make sure they don't fall apart, seal them up with wax or some other water proofing solution, and you have a nice pair of rough boots.

Agreed.
 
I have tiny feet, so I'm probably forever gonna be stuck in the kids' section looking for shoes. It's why I have no taste in shoes and can't remember their types/brands ever (literally forgot about these white flats I still kept for some reason 'cause I got boots to wear for church now), have to go with practicality than fashion; the Adidas tennis shoes is probably the best shoe brand I got. Even boots are limited since I have to go with size 5s since I've decided I wanted to start wearing them a couple years ago.

Look at them and laugh. Except my black Joe Boxer, I like those.

Black shoe is dirty since I only slip them on to get something from outside, oops.

Oddly enough, although my taste in shoes is shit, I like designing shoes when I draw. I don't think they ever get fancy, though, but I like putting patterns, belts, some bows and the like on them. Boots and sandals are common for me to draw for some odd reason, I dunno, I think they're cool, especially for magical girls.

Someone here said you can get shoes custom-fitted? So like if there's a shoe design I like but can't find one in my size, I can request one or something?

Will do, think I’ll make a project out of it on my next day off. I really didn’t want to replace them; docs are hard to come by and I got them at a good price.
 
Got these sparkle shoes, no idea why to be honest, I think I'll hate them in real life. First 350s I've owned.

And my girlfriend is going to try to get these on Friday.

Drunk purchase or what? They make my skin crawl just by looking at them here, can't imagine how it'd look in person and the mess of glitter you'd leave everywhere.

*beat*

🤔 Wait, you have it out for someone, don't you? So you're gonna walk into their place with glitter shoes to subtly rub on the carpet and furniture so they'll vacuum up glitter for months?

Hahaha got them for retail from a mate, he said they don't look as hideous in real life. (Probably told me that to sell them because they're so shit)
Its 3M threading, so won't flake off like glitter, I hope!
I usually wear pretty much black, so I wear kicks that stand out.....but I'm not the biggest fan of reflective shit personally lol
I'll update how shit they are when they turn up!

Really it's been so long since they've been on my feet that I don't even remember what size they are.
Pro tip. If you're in the market for designer (esp footwear,) see what the used market is like.
I'm super into the streetwear/designer stuff but try to keep the colors/designs wearable & not too loud. These Wtaps NewBalance are a new dream pair.

Too bad they run an unholy $900 on StockX.
I hope someday they'll drop to a price that I wouldn't want to commit murder-suicide for daring to pay.
