sneakers! and shit

[Akzle]

so, im sure some of you wear shoes. while I avoid it, I sometimes have to.
I fucking hate shopping, and time spent in a shoe store makes me want to shit.
so basically looking for brand/style recommendations.
requirements are: last more than 6 months; fit wide feet; good rubber sole (think rock-climbing type grip). probably sub-200$. dont mind steel cap or non-.

[ellipsis]

...Keen...they are for wide feet and although the shoe type I wear for everything...work, walk, tramping, shooting, fishing etc, have a moulded rubber toe that eventually detaches after a hammering, the last pair is well into a year old...they are about the only footwear that I can wear...

...the Boston Lace is the pair I refer to...

Footware is generally made by joozs and corporations and will require you to use gewgold vouchers,so really need to make your own.

but if you must buy into the system, think these would suit you.

I now have 3 pairs of these....they shuffle down the food chain from presentable, to garage, to getting dirty in the garden.

http://www.bivouac.co.nz/merrell-men-s-intercept-walking-shoe.html

They fit my wideish feet pretty well

I also hate shopping for shoes, hence when I find something that works I just keep replacing them with the same thing.

[Black Knight]

Anything in the Merrills range-I only own one pair of shoes being Merrills,when they finally wear out-3 plus years-I buy another pair.

[oldrider]

Tisk tisk I have always had to buy two pair - the extra pair are to save my knuckles! :whistle:

[george formby]

If it's shoes yer after have a look at last rite footwear (http://lastrite.co.nz/), local and made to measure. Resoleable, never need to buy another pair of shoes. You can also get a "commando" sole which will help you save on underpants.

+1 on Keen - many styles to choose from and you can do it all on the internets...

Mine had sole delamination last year whilst in Rome... brought them home and had local cobbler reglue with super duper really extra strong glue... they'll do for a while longer...

Haha, he never said he was going to pay for them :msn-wink:

Probably not a good idea to advertise what shoes you own in this thread, they could go missing :whistle:

[mashman]

I have 2 pairs of Adidas trainers at any given point in time. Between them they can last me 3 - 4 years. My near 4yr old pair are Adidas Kanadia TR 5's. Bit tattered around the heal inside, but outside they're in damned fine nick despite being used for everything from gardening to 5-a-side. Pair 2 are nearly 2 years old and are still almost shop condition, especially the tread. They're Adidas Response Trail 21 gtx. I've tried a few brands over the years and find I get 2 years tops, usually less, out of any other brand than Adidas. Paid about $100 for the first pair and $130 for the second pair from the sales in rebelsport.

DC Shoes. I took a punt a couple o' years ago and loved them so bought another exackery the same, about a year later. Roughly 70 squids. Why? because I rode a skateboard once. What's 27 years, really in the big scheme of things. Oh, and because fuck Nike.

I've still got the pair I bought to go to Phillip Island in 2006. They are still comfy but are starting to look a bit tatty round the back of the heel. I have another pair of Merrils that were on special from a shop on the 'Net. They are a different thing, sort of a cross between a shoe and a sandal.

I've seen worse, how about 'genuine synthetic leather' on a couch we looked at one day. Stopped looking after that.....

I understand. While I do own a pair of shoes, I live in jandals (have four pairs) or motorcycle boots (have two pairs ...)

So you have my sympathy - but no useful recommendations at all ..

[Swoop]

Perhaps suitable?

Perhaps not quite what you had in mind... but I often wear these when lots of walking is involved.
I have walking boots, sneakers etc. but these are more comfortable on my 12eee or 13w feet.
https://m.1-day.co.nz/products/bison-blackfoot-safety-boots-1

I have worn them at least a couple of times a week for 2.5 years.
For all day walking, mowing lawns, Reno stuff, working on cars etc.

not really after a boot. or I might have specified "boot" in the thread somewhere.

[Tazz]

Close enough.

Forget the model but I get good runs out of Hi-Tec tramping boots for pretty much everything other than tramping. 8 years from first pair, 2 years into second.

Ahh! Laces are needed? No problem there!

Sherpa's walk up a fucking large Mountain in twine slippers. Just a thought though, try walking (''with or without shoes'' said in my best Bono voice) into any shoe supplier and ask if they accept WINZ quotes.

[pritch]

I have long lusted after a pair of Frye boots, never got round to it. If you buy now you get $25.00 off.
