where u buy them ones??

skate shoes are excellant if you don't skate they last for years on end.

try schuh on o connell street upstairs for DC's or Vans

blondie83

Go with those ones, they're nice, and they'll go with a few different types of trousers. Out of interest, is there actually a clothes forum? Might be a good idea, for ppl looking for other ppls opinion and stuff

Karl Hungus

I'd say just don't get a pair of runners, they all usually fall apart in no lenth. Get a pair of docs.

ferdi

yeah go to schuh, they have 10,000 shoes like that pair

Tusky

I think Dublin needs another good shoe shop Schuh are alright but can be overpriced and sometiems dont have anything nice... guess I'll just have to shop around . grrrr

Seconded. And they're comfortable!

projectmayhem

skate clothes are the best.. but for runners and stuff i tend to get cheap **** from dunnes (they last forever) and keep on pair of "good" ones.

Have you tried Pull N Bear in Arrnotts - excellant stuff in there - you should have no probs getting something similiar:cool:

thats 5000 pairs of that exact shoe....:)

I just got the white ones. I really like them.

dudara

My boyfriend has the black and red pair of the onitsuka tigers and they're class. Very cool. My only advice is buy what you like. I don't like skate shoes personally, but there are heaps of them out there.

Check out e-bay, you might be able to pick up a cool pair there really cheap.

i was thinking of a pair of those. where'd u get em & how much?

dudara

He got them in Schuh in Leeds for £40. So I'd imagine Schuh in Dublin should have them for E60ish.

€70.... a wee bit pricey, but they're slick.

Blisterman

Urban near the georges street arcade has those shoes I think.

might get those red and black ones... look a wee bit smallish though...kinda thin. are they comfy ? what they look like with pantaloons on ?

I drunkenly booked return flights to Gatwick last night.

With the sole intention (*groan*) of buying some new shoes in Sussex.

Still €42 yo-yo's return isn't bad (that's all taxes as the flights cost €0.01 esch way), I should save that easily.

Get a pair of docs.

I have 2 pairs of doc's (1 shoes, 1 boots) - both of them have defective soles which are lifting away from the body.
They're damn unconfortable too - some people swear by them though, but personally never again.

dudara

They are thin soled as they are a martial arts shoe, but my fella thinks they're comfy. He wears them all the time with combats/cargo pants.

The last time I was in England, I bought two pairs of runners for himself on the sale rack in Schuh for £15. One adidas for £10 (cream nubuck with orange stripe) and a pair of diadora for £5 (cream, low cut leather, retro style with gold blaze).

The great thing about buying shoes in England is that you get great variety. Most irish shops don't realise that runners come in colours other than white yet. I personally own over 30 pairs of shoes, about half of which are runners (my fella calls me a sneaker pimp), and none are white. I've mainly bought from e-bay.

I had a pair of those Onitsuka Tigers before. Not great runners, the sole wore off quickly and weren't very comfortable.

The best pair of runners i've had in years are DC Sairin Grey/Black - cost about €95 in Schuh, Galway. My current pair, DVS's are a load of ****!. Cost me €120 at Christmas and theyre in bits now. Gonna buy another pair of Sairin's soon.

I never thought of eBay when it comes to footwear. Can you suggest some sellers or is it best to browse around? Those Onitsuka look class, might try 'em out.

Makaveli

Adidas Shell Toes are the shit.
Some people say they're uncomfortable, I don't think so though.

Schuh have a good selection. Idiots don't seem to stock anything over a 10 though.

combs

Those Sk8r Boi shoes look good on the rack but they do nothing for a person wearing them. The heels are usually really flat and that looks like the curse o' jaysus as well as giving you poor posture. Adidas runners tend to be OK; the 'super' ones, like Superstar and Supermodified. Overall, shopping for shoes in Ireland is a disaster. And those new skinny runner/shoe things? They're awful.

wiped

Navy Suede Adidas Samba - king of trainers ..........

JackKelly

not sure if this has been said. But "deep" on grafton street is good for "alternative" shoes.Pretty overpriced though.

dudara

Most of my runners these days are flat, thin-soled ones. I find them much kinder to my feet as thicker cushioned soles seem to make my ankles sore. We are meant to walk barefoot after all!! I only wear cushioned runners when running, never otherwise.

Dr. Loon

The Onitsuka Tigers are a very thin sole, but that's why I personally like them. As Dudara said, they are basically a marshal art runner. Almost feels like you're not wearing runners. If you're into super comfort squidgy soled runners then don't get them.

If there good enough for Uma in Kill Bill there good enough for me.

and by the way €60* here http://www.voodooshoes.com/detailview.asp?ID=1482

edit: that's £60 not so great value after all, anybody know a good online skate shoe retailer.

Creamy Goodness

in what shop can u get these



i'll be in town tomorrow and would like to buy a pair

StephenInsane

I bought a pair of Onimushi Tigers a few years ago. They fell apart, but I think I was wearing them for a good while (can't remember). I saw a pair in TK Maxx for 25 euro a few months ago.

Theres a skate shop near Schuh in O'Conell street that i'd recommend, but its an upstairs premises. Just head towards the liffey from Schuh and you'll notice the door on your right

I'm not a skater but they do have a good range of shoes and some fantastic deals when they have sales on. Its well worth a look if you are going to Schuh, even for comparisons sake.

Good quality pair of skateboarding shoe's like the DC's/Vans/Globes/ES/DVS etc will last you far longer than any pair of average runner's and in some cases shoes too and are extremely comfortable.
