Going out shoes(male)

eamoss

Im looking for new shoes for when I go out clubbing(sounds weird saying that) im looking for something like vans. Any ideas?

Buttons_sb

Oh i think those vintage vans would be nice, i'll try find a pic of what im talking about now..

Edit:
Found them! I love these ones:


They look really nice with jeans!:


but these are prob the style you were thinking of?:


They are both rad! Go for a pair, they are fairly cheap too!

Duff

If ya like vans, just get a pair!! not the colours I have though! :P

FFS you have vans!! Now I dont want them

Just joking, I really love your style T.Duff and copy everything you do!!

aoife2k

Vans all the way or Converse Chuck Taylors....both look fab peeping out from under jeans

I got my Vans in Glasgow in February and I swear, have basically worn them everyday since (except in nice weather when i've got the trusty Crocs).

Elli-May

If you mean ones like the first picture Buttons_sb posted then i recommend Etnies, if you mean like the second picture then I think you should stick with vans!

oh my food god, i must be getting old because they're manky!!!

are drain pipe jeans back in now?

Piste

Yeah they are...except now they're called skinny jeans

Creamy Goodness

would you seriously get into clubs with vans on?

and converse only look good when they are worn in, nothing worse than a shiny pair.

Piste

My friend was wearing vans the other weekend when we went out, we were a bit dubious about whether he'd get in with them on, but sure they were black and it was night so it was dark so they weren't too noticable.

Creamy Goodness

i'd imagine the first pair might be alright, don't know about the checkered ones though.

ahh sure they're better than scoby nike air max with tracksuits tucked into the socks :eek:

Holsten

Cons! That's what I wear and get in no prob, one of my mates has those vans and never gets refused.

Generally it's if they're really white shoes is where you'll have problems.

Zapp Brannigan

I've gotten in most places with either my Adio's, DC's, Vans and Adidas. Runners are only a part, you'll only have troubles if you look like a scumbag in runners.

eamoss

Where would I get them in Dublin? or if Mr.SaxoDuff knows anywhere in Dundalk

Zapp Brannigan

Schuh would be a good bet for the Vans. There's one on O'Connell street I think there's another in the Jervis St. shopping center.

Duff

Aye ya can get vans in schuh on O'connell st. as said or in the one upstairs in the Jervis centre. I got got both my pairs in Office on Henry st. Here in town ya can get vans in outdoor extreme and converse in bredan reids! Jeez eamo you'd be F'd in the A without me!:D

Stench Blossoms

Vans are grand just don't wear any sort of pointed toe shoes.

Oh yea I know Taidgh I would be fúcked without you.

As I said on the SIT forum "you are my heroe"

I think DC look nicer then Vans.
Skate city in temple bar have nice shoes, tho Footlocker is great for vans.

Creamy Goodness

out of all skate shoes dc's and osiris look the worst imo.

it goes for me anyways dvs > lakai > etinies >= vans

dc's and osiris' just look too damn clunky and wouldn't look well on someone going out.

Like everyone else said really, Schuh or Office, Tribe have pretty cool ones aswell.

The best choice by far, you wont get in anywhere worth going to in skate shoes. Dubes are as comfy as runners and wont be refused anywhere!

These Paul Smith ones are nice imo:

theyre ugly

Sorry, I should have asked your opinion of them before posting.:rolleyes:

nicer looking than dubes, but even then i'd prefer a pair of pubes over both of them.

rofl, they are the worst things ever. They go with nothing, and everyone who doesnt wear them instantly thinks you are 100% pure gimp. What boggles my mind is that some people wear them with tracksuit bottoms..

Seriously, what are you thinking even looking at them.

I sincerely apologise if you took offence, but my god, dont ever EVER advise ANYONE to buy a pair of dubs, unless you want them to get slagged off.

Andrewf20

How about these?

Dubes are the best u can buy.

But i suppose u could buy something else and look like a scobe if thats the look you are going for....

Dubes are for the little rich kid wannabes. You can wear normal runners and not look like a "scobe". At the end of the day it's all down to personal taste and the OP seems like Vans, so why propose something that's a completely different style?

Dude are you insane?? or just hold a postal code of D4?
Dubes are the most ridiculous looking things I’ve ever seen.
You wouldn’t get into any club wearing dubes, the doormen are instantly going to think “complete tosser!”

And I’ve never been refused anywhere wearing skate shoes.

Anyways, back on topic, I'd recommend these, I just got a pair in black.

Killaqueen!!!

When I read the title I really didn't think I'd see Vans in here! (I'm gonna ignore the dubes thing cos if anyone seriously thinks they look good they are insane.)

Vans are cool and REALLY comfy but if you're a guy going out I'd recommend Timberland shoes. Probably not your style but they're really comfy and look the best for going out by far.

Second Timberland, they have some nice ones in foot locker on o'connell street.

'scobe'. My god, you REAK of d4 and ruggers. They are terrible. Only guffs and idiots wear dubes, everyone else with a bit of style wouldnt go near them.

The bottom line is, and its blatent from this thread, that if you dont own dubes you think they look retarded. And its always the same looking people who wear them and look down on everyone else for not wearing them. Its funny watching you walk around in them trying to act all normal n stuff.

Timberlands are nice, a bit over priced and i rekon the range has kind of gone a bit arseways the last few years. Vans are cool, but its converse all the way.

I've been wearing deck-shoes (similar to dubes) for 6 years and I've never had any problems.

Personally, I think skate shoes look ridiculous, but then I realise people have different tastes and one's footware doesn't define who they are and how intelligent they are. Additionally, I can't stand converse-style runners.

I actually picked up a lovely pair of brown leather Timberlands in New York last year. Great shoes!

Why would you wanna go to redz though?

Pepe LeFrits

Not a big fan of timberlands personally. Too chunky.
