Sneaky...
I "need" Sneakers for the frst time in my life...
Vans?
Keds?
All Stars?
I know nothing of any of this stuff.
I never did P.E. due to getting hit on the head in my first year (Did I mention?).
I only want these shoes to hang around in (It's a part of my new lifestyle...).
I like these:

Any other options you like?
Thanx -

Re: Sneaky...
Since we're not talking about real athletic shoes, how about:

Re: Sneaky...
l haven't worn sneakers or rubber soled footwear in nearly 20 years. l hate shoos with a grip (rugged sole). l h8 sneakers with a passion.

Re: Sneaky...
People should be banned from wearing sneakers outside of sport. l've never seen such a horrible piece of clothing ever. Sneakers are thoroughly foul....true ugly ducklings.

Re: Sneaky...
^ Of course the irony of getting your feet all covered in piss and putting them back into your shoes is no doubt lost on today's marketing geniuses. I was intrigued to see the "Grubbies" ad from 1966, since today Converse among others offer pre-distressed shoes. Fashion is an endless circle, it seems...

Lacoste Rene, a classic from 1963:

Also available in white.
I take it that you'd wear the sneakers without socks. Leather sneakers with fused lining get your feet really sweaty, so may I recommend that you go for canvas?

Re: Sneaky...
I see a lot of old people wearing these gigantic bright white sneakers. I need to wear my sunglasses, when looking at them.
