    What kind of shoes do you wear?

    Excluding my Military footwear, I wear Black Canvas Converse all-star Hi tops.. (I got a few dollars together for a new pair of shoes and lucky for me, they were on sale for like 30-some dollars!) I know how much things like shoes mean here, as I saw in the DeLorean Nikes thread.

    My VIN:    747, Rally D, formally 10309, Marty Mcfly 85 Toyota, 2004 Mach 1

    I'm a shoe collector. Mostly Jordan's BC they have the best overall value. Any relevent basketball shoe from the 80's and 90's. Not so much the new stuff, though I was given a pair of the Delorean Nike's from my cousin. As far as everyday shoes I wear DC's and Adio's. I do wear Fox shoes while driving my D. I wear a 13. They are thin and comfy.

    Converse in my opinion are the best shoe for your dollar, they cost approximately $45 USD (I got mine in the 30 dollar range at a sale). They are very light weight, breathe very well and feel very comfortable, as the canvas is pretty much the only thing on the topside of your foot, without the plastic moldings in most shoes. Not to mention that converse shoes are easy to stow in a bag, as they can be pressed flat without a problem. For cutting grass, PT and whatever else I don't mind giving a beating to, in addition to keeping around just in case, I still have my old hole riddled shoes.

    @yellowmxwheels23 Could you post some pictures of the exact shoes you were talking about? Kinda curious what they look like.

    lol, didn't expect to see these popping up in a thread on dmctalk

    I still have a pair stashed away somewhere - must dig them out. Fantastic boots.

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    I prefer to wear boots most of the time; alternating between either a pair of cowboy boots or German military surplus. The only time you'll find me wearing tennis shoes is when I'm mowing my lawn; I bought a pair of Converse high-tops for yard work 4 years ago and they're still holding up great. or when I'm wearing my running shoes for PT. I do have several pairs of slide-on dress shoes, but I prefer my boots.

    I would wear sandals everywhere if I was allowed. When I have to wear shoes (at work) or in the winter outside I wear Birkenstock's. I never could figure out why shoes are not shaped like your foot (wide at the front). So my $200 Birkenstock's are the only ones shaped correctly. To bad the old brand name "earth shoes" are not available anymore.
