Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

[thewho13]

I'm willing to go up to $250. I'd have to think really hard about spending any more than that.

I suggest you get CP achilles all white they work with everything and they cost ~$280 at the corner right now.
you can find code in the sales thread.

I didn't see the Achilles all white on thecorner—only black and two types of grey. I definitely like the CPs—and I'd definitely like to own a pair—but I kind of want something more obnoxious looking, with a more pronounced tongue, à la GAT hi-tops.

If you want baller sneakers this is probably the one you should start with

If I wind up eschewing buying sneakers, I might just get these instead...

dayyyummmm those are hideous

I think the way the shoe is crumpling in the back is making the heel look weird. Can't be that bad, can it?

No, that toe shape is horrible and I hate heels like that.

the idea is good but the execution is all wrong.

What's your budget? I can find something better.

I really don't have an eye for shoes, that's why I've posted such a weird succession of footwear. I'm not looking to "just" spend my money for the sake of spending it—I'm just asking for advice/opinions/direction/etc. because, as I've said, I really don't have an eye for shoes (well, sneakers in particular).

@Hendrix: my budget is pretty strictly around $250, but if the price goes a little over, and if the shoe happens to be terrifically awesome, then I could maybe loosen up a bit. At the moment, I'm between getting a pair of hi-tops and getting another pair of side-zips. Leaning more toward the hi-tops because I don't own a pair, but another pair of grey side-zips could easily win out if there's nothing particularly great in the way of sneakers.


FWIW I'm a size 11
