have a lot there, a lot of people voiced their opinion on them including myself.

rasherboy

hmmm...interesting...didnt no der was already a thread on dem!

Sangre

You like them so wear them. Jesus, are you really such a sheep?

rasherboy

me no i have them! it just all my mates and people just slag them and i was just wondering was every1 like this or are my mates just saps!

Dizzyblabla

I'm totally unsure about them at all... Like extremely comfortable shoes, but it just seems like it was all those girls with boatbags (those stripy HUGE things) in school that had them (even though they didn't havea boat!!)
they do come across a bit as wannabe type shoes though I think...

Sangre

Heaven forbid someone would think you're a wannabe!

rasherboy

i hate all this wanna be stuff! like define a real d4 head? most people say people form terenure etc are big d4 heads when technically there not part of d4 you cant realy tie it down to an area! sangre please give me a comprehensive definition of a d4 head!

Sangre

Me

rasherboy

lol! define yourself!

Sangre

great

rasherboy

wow r head is up ur as$

Sangre

who is r?

blondie83

Rasher boy there's rumours flying about that Sangre is from Raheny, so you gotta find your D4 head model somewhere else! Oh and just wear the shoes if you like them, no one really cares that much - your friends probably just felt like slagging you about something and decided dubes were an easy target :cool:

Loike I totally agree

Karl Hungus

Look, just wear the freakin shoes you like and stop giving a rats ass what anyone else thinks.

Le Rack

nearly everyone in my school wears them and we're far from D4 so eh, bring your own subtext... My parents used to make me wear them, cuz they're sailing shoes and we sail so yeah... and would people please call them Dubarries, I'm unsure of the spelling but yeah..

Alana

hehehe

Sorry rasherboy hope i didn't offend you on the other post, but I really think that they are absolutely stupid. They just scream wannabe for me-basicly because everyone who I have encountered wearing such vile items of clothing has their head shoved squarely up their aRse and is a pompous wagon / wanker....Also the shoes are generally accompanied by one of those cancer wristbands, a rugby shirt/ralph lauren polo type shirt-collar turned up(mandatory)....shudder...

sheep!!!

But saying that if you feel comfy in them wear them.

I won't like it and I'll probably hunt u down for crimes against fashion, but mhe.

Chick

I think there is far too much deliberation over nothing.

DITTO on what Karl said, they're only shoes at the end of the day I suppose.

I don't have anything against peeps who wear them, but wouldn't be something i'd personally think is "cool".

Give me a rare pair of retro trainers anyday.

u mean like converse or something? im not mad bout them i have to say! but then again thats my opinion i no loads of people love them! down to taste!

*Sassy*

This is one trend I have never understood. Obviously it is completely tied in with a particular concept of social class etc.

Because in terms of fashion they are absolutely completely and utterly HIDEOUS!!! Especially when worn with O'Neill's tracksuit bottoms. Talk about the biggest fashion faux pas ever!!!

Absolutely disgusting. They are deck shoes and should only be worn ON DECK. Most ridiculous trend ever. They are only just acceptable when worn with school uniforms, although you are immediately making a statement about what section of society you are (or wish to be) in.

Get a grip people.

My thoughts exactly.

It is SO not the same. Converse etc are SUPPOSED to be worn with tracky bottoms, baggy pants etc and they look cool whether you are into that style or not. Everyone who has a clue about fashion knows that you do NOT under any cirumstances wear shoes with tracksuit bottoms. Unless of course you live in a caravan on the side of the road and are related to Blackie O'Connor.

but he does make a point. he says nothing of what clothes they are worn with just peoples perceptions of it meaning you are from d4 and how different people like different things, skate shoes were ment for skating only yet they found their way into normal routine wear so why not dubes just people should be aware of what clothes goes with what thats bad ffanshion sense not saying dubes are horrible

oooo now those are old skool kick ass shoes......god bless the 80s and 90s for what they did for footwear...namely inline skates.....

Karl Hungus

I have to agree that Rasherboy does make an excellent point with reguards to people wearing skate shoes while not skating.

I for one do not skate, but currently I'm wearing a pair of DVS, which I think are excellently comfy, so I'd certainly not begrudge anyone for wearing 'Deck shoes' when not on deck.

Although I don't like Dubes myself, probably because when I started a thread about getting a certain pair of boots, some little tosswads were trying to shove said shoes down my throat. I would've assumed that when I'm looking for a pair of boots, that would rule out shoes. :rolleyes:

poobum

i always wear either my dubes or vans i used to skate but no longer do, now i wear the shoes because i like them! same as my dubes(not that i once sailed) but i wear them because i like them! no more to it! there all comfy! so why not wear them in the end of the day if people think shoes define ur status etc...then those people should be shot!
