They're not impressive at all in real life. There's plenty of other chuckalikes, leather and otherwise, that are much better.

do you really think you couldn't get infinitely better sneakers if you just saved up?

vans eras make you look like a dead-end 30 year old frat bro in training. Really, though, they're all-white sneakers. Some CP's might pop up, or something - I'd sit on it.

edit: it's not as though they can't look acceptable, with slim, trim shorts and a short sleeve button down or something.

Ok. I think I'm between the vans authentic and the jack purcell canvas. I hated the toe cap on the jack purcell at first but it has really grown on me.

thanks for the input. I'll probably go with those. I have skinny legs and fear the purcells might lead to a clown shoe look on me. Plus the authentics are cheap as hell.
