Hmm was looking at stuff over at footlocker online and saw a bunch of "padded collar" hi top chucks... has anyone checked these out? Are they actually more comfortable? I'm really considering picking some up... i just wish the damn soles were more comfortable on chucks

Q to our European correspondents: any shops within EU selling these? Getting a pair of these from US runs me over $140 including p&p + customs, which is a bit steep...

EDIT: and we're talking Flight Jacket-model in olive here, sorry about the funny quote...

Ordered a pair of Poorman Weapons in B&W, and they are pretty damn nice... unfortunately they run a half size smaller than converse usually do for me, so i gotta return them and they dont have my size. Arghhh

These things are actually comfortable too which shocked me... they actually have an arch inside. Easily the most comfortable pair of cons ive tried so far.

All right, I'm a latecomer to the JP Race Arounds. They're beautiful. I want some. I can only find them at Nordstrom, and not in my size. Are they still around anywhere or am I outta luck?

I grabbed mine up a several months ago when they were still somewhat abundant. They popped up in a Gilt Man sale like 2 weeks ago too. The internet's gotta have your size somewhere...
