I preordered shoes from a brand a year ago and they're not here. is this normal? Shoes take a long time?? They had to source new fabric??
they still post to Instagram and haha the name implies a long wait

of all the "upgraded" all-white low AF1 variations (prm, nikelab, jewel, flyknit, etc.), which is the most toebox-crease-resistant? that seems to be the main criterion for me in upgrading my AF1s, because i lost interest in my old ones for that reason (don't want warped toeboxes on sneakers i bought for their crispiness)

i guess flyknits would be the most obvious answer there but i'm gravitating more towards a leather version

[jrisk]

does a budget low profile high top sneaker exist that is not sk8 his or converse? preferably in all black and in suede? canvas is ok too.

not looking for common projects or really any lux brands. I can probably be persuaded if the brand is not common projects though.

who else makes light, crunchy/crinkly pants in chambray or something similar a la EG?

[popcorn]

are suicokes comfortable? the ridges near the toes don't seem suuuuper comfy and the footbed pretty much looks like a pair of tevas. I guess the more relevant question is- are birkenstocks more comfortable?

does anyone know where to find a patchbook with assorted textiles (preferably indigo, olive, ochre dyed)? I’m looking to diy some sashiko patchwork

anyone know where a guy can find some size 10 EG new balances?

anyone tried the pixel/computer glass shits? i am now looking at a screen for ~14 hours a day and recently my eye started twitches and my eyes feel sore - I assume due to lack of sleep (working on it) and staring at the screens so much. i have f.lux installed on my home pc for at night which is aight but for the day I could probably help myself out more. would love to hear some testimonials from yall

Yeah, I'm on the computer 8 hrs a day for work and then I like to play some video games when I come home. I definitely think I'll give them a go - in the grand scheme of things they aren't that pricey and if they make my life nicer they're probably a good investment.

anyone know the sizing on salomon shoes?
probably getting these in particular: https://www.salomon.com/us/product/tech ... -2566091-0

[Malcb33]

I haven't tried that particular Salomon model but I have owned a few pairs and fund they fit tts but slightly wide. If you have a narrow foot, you could size down a half size.

Is Our Legacy clothing/shoes made in Sweden?

How do you guys size Vans Vault vs. regular vans?

[fun_yunchables]

depends on the style

i'd say slips and authentics (og shape) fit maybe half a size-ish big because they have a wider toebox, so my rec is to size down half unless you have relatively wide feet

old skools and style 36s i went the same but they also fit slightly larger (in the toe at least) than the regular vans. but you can always lace them a little tighter and get a pretty good fit (as a bonus you'll have that hyukoh tight lace look going on)

What do I do to comfortably wear boots that are about a quarter size too big?
Put in some particular kind of soles?
They're mainly too big in like the roof of the front half of my foot.

Tying them really tightly almost sort of allows me to get away with it but ruins the shape and doesn't look very good for the leather

anyone have cool material on pro wrestling + fashion? Collections, articles, videos , whatever.. it’s a plus if it’s really gay too.. i know Thom Browne and Walter van Bierendonck have both done something along the lines of what i’m thinking about

how do i buy shorts

[CheerUpBrokeBoy]

what's the best place online to get carhartt double-front carpenters? carhartt's home site has a spotty selection sometimes

[Bonobonobo]

Who makes a good pleated short that isn't too expensive? Like this Uniqlo lemaire ones

[CheerUpBrokeBoy]

what's the ideal length for carhartt carpenters? no break? cropped? enough for pool/stack? (thinking the 3rd for variety personally but open to cases for the other 2)

[Julio]

[BIGBEE]

depends what shoes you are going to wear really

[fun_yunchables]

i personally like a soft break, mb like 1" longer than ur true inseam. u can double cuff which still works out alright

if u subscribe to the junya look the collab has some carpenter fits which are p cool i like how it's styled here

Thoughts on sizing with regular chucks vs chucks 70's?

The only info I could find is that the 70's fit slightly wider in the toe box, does that sound right?

So should I size down .5 from regular chuck size?

(edit for clarification)

[CheerUpBrokeBoy]

does brining stiff pants work? or does a vinegar solution work better? lmk if you have any better tricks for softening pants

[Julio]

would anyone else here be able to compare sizing discrepancy between first release CT70s and the newer models? my first run pair i went half a size down; bought a pair of lows (2018 release i think, maybe 2017) and i sized the same way, but there's suddenly so much room in the toe (alongside some other tweaks i noticed). should i have gone a whole size down???? this is throwing me for a curve and i didn't get them at a retailer or anything so *shrug*

tryna find someone to trade to a 9.5 with but worst case i'll just keep them >_>

edit: this is funny to me as it follows the question two posts above this
