They also go well with a black hoodie.
I don't wear the cape on my bicycle.

Well... er... no, of course not. But.. gah, i'm lost. Go buy yourselves some boots and a black cape, you gothfreaks. I'll be wearing my Converse even when the temperature goes around -22 celsius.

I hope someone is around to pick up your toes.

I've done a couple of Minnesota winters in Converse.
That sucked bigtime.
Wet, frozen feet all day every day? Plus the slipping!
They're OK for summer, but hardly suitable for snow and not cool-looking enough to suffer for.

Hey, frost bite fucking sucks. Last year my toes were purple it was so bad.

These are my boooots. I dunno, pretty good for nine bucks.

EMMAh · 12.05.2006, 05:03 PM

I dunno what everyone is talking about, Converse have pretty good grip. Or maybe I just have really good balance.

Savage Clone · 12.05.2006, 05:03 PM

Those are good utilitarian boots that still look pretty tough.
I'd say you got a good deal.

And have you ever pushed a car out of a snowbank in Converse?
That sucks!

Danny Himself · 12.05.2006, 05:04 PM

You could kill someone with those beetlecrushers, Emma. Nice.

They're killing me hahah. I hate breaking in shoes

Danny Himself · 12.05.2006, 05:12 PM

Get someone to break them in for you.

EMMAh · 12.05.2006, 05:16 PM

Fuck that. These boots are going to fit ME like a glove and I'm going to wear them until they can't possibly be worn any longer haha.
No bastards are going to steel my booties.

gmku · 12.05.2006, 05:16 PM

Nice, Emmah.

Savage Clone · 12.05.2006, 05:17 PM

Breaking in boots sucks.
Part of the reason I love my current pair so much is the fact that they were comfortable pretty much immediately.

Thanks

My favorite pair of shoes have a hole the size of my fist in them, so they're in a bag with fixing supplies waiting to be mended. Someday I'll get around to it. I told my mom that if she threw them out I would go to the dump and get them back, so she knows not to touch.

So, I bought a pair of combat boots at the Salvation Army today for $9 haha(they're hardly worn at all) I'm looking forward to falling on my ass due to the zero grip they have.

Take a knife and score the bottom. Might give them some grip.

I was actually thinking about going something like that. Perhaps I will.

Stop beeing such pussies and stick to your Converse.

hey, mr. iceballs, maybe you're accustomed to being a penguin, but the rest of us hate that shit.

another (perhaps costlier but more effective) solution would be to take it to a shoe repair shop & see if they could replace the sole & for how much-- or at least attach something
