In lue of Miscues post of the Velcro shoes which I found rather funny, I thought why not everyone post there favorite pair of shoes that they would never throw out.

I have had these sneakers for 6 years now and I wear them everyday. The laces a permenantly knotted and I just slip them on. The soles are actually worn out on them.

Come on I know many of you have some real stinkers out there:p

I don't actually have a pic of mine anymore, I left them in the skydome. But ask Muz, CM, and KB about how wonderful they smelled.

Now only if I could somehow get pictures of my duct taped pair of Van Cab Six's...about 4 years old. The soles are so worn out on them I can glide around on carpet.

Well I used to have this pair of kick arse Airwalks that I bouht myself like 13 years ago... anyhow the sole finally wore though and repairs were becoming more and more futile.

Anyhow while my tour of the land of no copyright infringment known as South Korea I retired my old kicks for some fresh vans.

I miss them shoes

I have some Chuck Taylor Allstars that I have had for years. The soles are only a few millimeters thick in some spots. They have seen thousands or even millions of steps, as well as 1 ocean, 8 states, 2 time zones, and over 5000 feet elevation. They were originally high tops, but are now low tops because I burnt them this past febuary with a plasma cutter.

I had some that I had for 3 years and then started waitressing in them for a few years...they were so bad that when my great aunt and uncle came in to eat, I was laughing about my socks being wet because they had washed the kitchen floor and I had stepped in standing water and the holes in the soles had let in alot of water...well, my great aunt and uncle called me a day or two later telling me that if I'd come over to their house...they had bought me some new shoes...so I finally retired me old ones...if I can get a d-camera...I'll send a pic of the 'butes.

I wore the same pair of Nike ACS shoes for 5 years of college, five summers of surveying, and right up until the soles fell off. Then I got a new pair and am starting over again.

My fav pair of shoes. Mack Steel toe from Target. I bought them in '00 for a warehouse job. I don't wear them for work anymore. I won't play paintball in any other shoes. They let me clomp around in style!

For being 3 years they look like they have worn pretty well.

Cool:D
