I have several questions concerning a certain shoe...

jacks164507_73015_jb.jpg


1. Is this shoe "fashionable" or too bulky?
2. Can this shoe be worn casually?
3. Would it be bad for an adolescent or a young to middle-aged teenager to wear this? Would he be dressing "too old"?
4. If there are wrinkles in the leather or if it's sort of "chipping" away (I can't find a way to explain it. It's like chipping paint off a wall) is there a way to somehow "fix" it?

Thanks :)

Hear, hear. It might give the bugger some height!

Great.
And I don't know how to care for the shoes. Uhm, there are a lot of wrinkles appearing and it appears to be "peeling" away or something. Can you tell me how to care for leather shoes or how I can somehow fix the wrinkles and peeling?

Don't buy extreemly ugly shoes with corrected grain leather? These shoes can't be fixed and should be sacrificed to the god CROC ASAP. Last time someone pissed off CROC he unleashed these upon the world:

Whats wrong with that? These are natural characteristics of such a fine leather. These shoes are like fine wine... they get better with time

Super glue works great! Since this is black, you can get the black super glue, probably better than the normal one.

1. Depends on where you live. If you live in Siberia you will be the most fashionable person within 100 miles.

2. Also, depends on where you live. If you live in Somalia, I wouldn't wear this casually as I'm sure they would be hot as f&^!.

3. This is fine for a young to middle aged teenager (probably no matter where you live). If you were older than 18, were my friend and were wearing these I might have to smack you.

4. If the leather is chipping away this is not a good sign. Perhaps you should put some black paint on them to cover the chips as you would re-paint a chipping wall.

Wait a minute I fear people are starting to think this shoe is ok. This shoe is not ok in any circumstance!

No they don't.

Agreed, but willing to let them slide for a 15 year old.
