Thought the same thing till I saw em in person. Its still chunkier than most, but it is in essence a skate shoe and for $60 you can't go wrong.

It's not bad. I just don't seem to like Vans very much. I think I could tell it was a Vans product without knowing.

I still like those Sawa's. Their webstore isn't up yet, though.

Side silhouette looks like Dior Homme's less desirable offerings. I agree It is probably decent for the price, but nothing spectacular.

They're made by adidas and puma so go with your size in that (especially if you have sambas). I bought a 280 (which is what size a samba in 10US is). I'll let you know when I get them.

You can shop with me anytime, hon, but I take exception to your pier 1 jibe. Room and Board is where it's at.

I actually looked through my e-mail history to see when I bought GATs, and it was really 2006. I've worn them probably a dozen times. #toofatforcpsandgats

I thought the GATs were just military surplus?

Btw, I saw your sig. If you want, I think I will be making a trip to Uniqlo either next week or the week after that. If they still have vintage chinos, I could proxy you a pair.

achilles mids, look at my post. In the fact that are simple yes they do. Im basically just look for a simple white leather mid to high cut sneaker.

They remind me more of the 420g shoes:

EDIT: Duh. they're Grams, too. No wonder. :p I hated the way those fit, though.
