So I've been wearing these for a while:
but they're really dirty and it seems like everybody has them.
I'm thinking of getting some new ones but I can't decide:
 
 
 
 
They're all $40, any opinion would be great.

but now he's like, loaded.

I was thinking of getting these, but they're $50, and they're hard to find.
And I didn't want to look like a clown. Why would a surfer make shoes?

I did have a pair of black Chucks I wore forever and got signed (one one each shoe) by Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger of General Public. I'm not making this up.

I have a sinking feeling that I threw away the shoes, but I'll check and see if they're in the back of my closet still. I'll post a pic if I can find them.
I saw them live around maybe 1995 as General Public, but about half the set was English Beat songs. Awesome show. It was a festival and the lineup was something like Chris Isaak, Sonic Youth, Matthew Sweet, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Belly, General Public, Elastica, The Pretenders, and Duran Duran. I dunno, I might be combining 2 festivals - the memory is fuzzy. everyone was great except Duran Duran, which is the worst show I have ever seen of any kind in my life. Everyone walked out and booed them (they were the last act).
But the GP guys were just hanging out on the concourse and I recognized them and got them to sign my shoes! Being a huge Beat and GP fan, I was just thrilled to see Beat songs played live, but to get the sigs was the gravy on the cake.

Yuck! I hate Crocs! I hate 'em even more on guys! Besides, real nurses don't wear Crocs...they have holes in them and that's an infection control risk (you could drop a needle in there...or something).
Sorry, Jefrey (I still think you're cool, though)

I've been called "cute" but (definitely) never "hot". Which I thought was cool for a time until I realized it's kind of like being a hot girl's gay friend. They'll talk to you but you have no chance.
Some of the cute nurses of which I speak I would classify as "hot," and would never have given me the time of day if not to discuss the awesomeness of Crocs. This I am sure of.
So say what you will about Crocs, but if you want to hit on cute and/or hot nurses, throw on some Crocs and hit the hospital scene. I guarantee you could get a date or at least a phone number.
Kind of like using your dog at the dog park to get dates, you know?

See, the thing with Crocs is that the people wearing them know that they're so damn comfortable that we couldn't give two shits about people making fun of us. We know you are, but we know what you don't know, and that is that our feet are feeling fine as wine. It's like those Dr. Sholl's gel insert commercials where the people that are "gellin" know that they're in an exclusive club.
Anyway I can't tell you how many cute nurses talk to me at hospitals and clinics because they pretty much all wear Crocs :)

Most shoes are like $30 or $40, I thought Crocs were a little cheaper? Like $20? Maybe not.

Posted - 06/29/2007 : 16:09:26
$40 in 1983 = $83.50 in 2007. My pops was not willing to shell out $85 for some canvas shoes. $40 in 2007 is still probably overpriced, but not completely unreasonable. Then again, Crocs are $40 and I paid that for a chunk of foam, so I guess I'm a sucker too.

Please pardon me, for these my wrongs.
Was that in the Drunk thread? LOL! The only thing better would be doing yoga in Spicoli's Vans.
I dunno about these 80's Vans clones. To me they're (and always have been) uglier than Crocs. Maybe it's because I couldn't afford real ones back in the day and I'm bitter. But I did have real Sperry Topsiders. Go figure. I remember back in the 80's those Vans were hella expensive, like $40 or something for those slip-ons. And if you wore fake ones you got your ass kicked. Same with red tag Levis. The orange tag ones were still genuine, but didn't have the button fly, which is kind of a pain in the ass. but you got all kinds of shit if you didn't have the red tags for some reason.
I digress. 80's fashion is a fascinating topic of its own.
== jeffamerica ==
They're still $40, Jefrey. Some are even $50 but that's retarded.
