    Oh. Yeh. It was early, I didn't think. :)

    Still more than I'd pay for a pair of shoes. *grumbles* "I've 'ad these 'ere shoes for thirty years and they 'avn't failed me yet."

    ..Or something like that. ;)

    Nice shoes/boots though.

    The sad thing is, the quality in these kind of shoes is not there.

    Don't get me wrong, I buy Nikes, but I'm going to stop.

    I'm used to buying brands like Josef Seibel.

    You pay the same, maybe a bit more, but they last years, not months.

    As for size, I got you beat.

    Size 46 here buddy :D :D :D

    Oh mine are definately brand name.

    OK, my point was that i dont by brand name shoes. But just ebcause they aren't brand name doesnt mean they aren't good quality, and most of the time the ones that aren't brand name are better quality.

    I care so little about my shoes, I can't even remember the brand.

    I know that a pair of trainers that cost £4 from ASDA (owned by Walmart) are definatley not worth the money. :p

    I know. I like Foot Locker 'cause they have some nice shoes, but it's like a minimum of $60 for a pair. I mean, I don't mind if my shoes get dirty, but I still want them to look decent.

    Size 46 here buddy


    The one thing i look for when buying shoes is quality. Because my feet are so damn big i have to buy a more expensive shoe, because thoses are the only ones i can find. 2 years ago i bought a pair of Nike Shox. They lasted me the full 2 years. The only reason i had to get new shoes was because they got small. These Jordans are really nice. They where made very well. There all leather, which is very hard to find. Nike shoes mostly have some synthetic in there somewhere. Also the bottom of the shoe is firmly attached at a good point where there is not much strees. Overal a good quality shoe. I must have looked at 200 pairs before deciding, All brands and price ranges.

    For me this is not a waste of money. I will most likely get 2 years out of these. If i would have gone with a cheeper pair and they lasted maybe 6 months. Then i would have to go buy another pair. every six months. :(

    I wear boots, steel toe
    affordable long lasting, safe
    and if you get in a fight you wont hurt your toes when ya kick someone and do a little damage as well. . .lol

    in many cases the cheaper(not the cheapest) product is more durable than the more expensive ones because the bigger company's can afford to "cut corners"

    an actualy study between a polo shirt and the same style shirt bought at a wal-mart
    the cheapy lasted longer. ..go figure

    but if its all about "looking good" or being apart of the "in crowd"
    or whatever
    I'll stick to lookn like trailer folk. . .lol. . .
    I'm so ugly. . .lol

    My friend has steel capped boots for a slightly different reason: it stops his toes being crushed by concrete railway sleepers.

    I had a pair when I had to go out and cut trees down for firewood. Or rather, tree, it lasted quite a long time :) Nothing makes you feel more manly than chopping bits of tree up for people to put on their fire and stay alive ;) Ugh ugh, caveman happy.

    jarcher I can't handle a title

    when I joined the army. .the boot thing just stuck. . I coldnt wear shoes anymore, just not comfy. . .
    and when I worked. .I work with heavy machinery and red hot flying steel. and that was a safty thing. . . . .shoes just dont feel right anymore. . .

    but saying
    "there good for whoopin'"
    sounds better than
    "Boots are so comfy, I could just . .mmm. . die. . .tee hee!!!"

    don't you think?

    lmao. .. sorry
    carry on.

    You paid that much for those? Geez...I bought a pair of Saucony gym shoes over a year ago for about $30, and they're still in premium condition. You'll be lucky if those things last you 6 months before you want new ones.

    Hey, me too. Small world. :D

    That is so true...

    Once when I was working on the maintenance crew at a golf course, we had to move these big concrete blocks...You know, those things that are at the front of parking spaces to keep cars from rolling forward. Well, when we were moving the first one, I was chosen as the guy who would lift from the middle while the other two lifted from the side. Needless to say, the block slipped and fell right on my foot. If it wasn't for my steel-toed boots I was wearing, I would have five less toes than I have today.

    There's a huge tear in the material, and a big scuff mark on the steel plate, still.

    Yeah! When I walk in the snow or on the beach and leave footprints, it's fun to watch people who see them turn and run for help! They scream, "BIGFOOT IS HERE":D !

    Yeah! Here's a funnier one:

    Why do ducks have flat feet.....to stamp out forest fires!
    Why do elephants have flat feet......to stamp out burning ducks!
    Why does Chaslang have size 15-5E feet.....to stamp out burning elephants!

    Yeah, me too. I do like quality when I can afford it, But at about (Au) $20.00 a pair I don’t care if they're worn out in 6-12 months.

    I have Floorshimes, or something for my best shoes (Au) $200.00 per pair, or thereabouts.

    Those shoes from the 'Footlocker' look like Australian Rules Football boots without the studs! :eek:
