Going for the emo/sk8er boi look
Need to buy the necessary footwear.
The ones I know from the top of my head are DC, Etnies, Vans, Converse, Hot and Osiris.
Any good suggestions?

Vans are dead comfy. Even though mine are falling apart now they're still comfy and can be easily worn all day

Re: Going for the emo/sk8er boi look
Etnies are cooler than Vans, Vans are too mainstream now.
Plus I own Etnies so you can model yourself on me, apart from the emo/skater bit

Re: Going for the emo/sk8er boi look
I'm pretty sure I woudln't.
Anyway, I think Converse have been blacklisted for some reason, at least so my punk acquaintences tell me. I'm not really up on brands though, especially since these types of shoes seem to be worn by short people.
Try looking here : http://www.interpunk.com/search.cfm?cat=2&fmt=50& (altough the first x pages are all Converse)

Re: Going for the emo/sk8er boi look
I have some Globe and Reef trainers.
I'm fairly sure they're 'surf wear' but i don't pay too much attention to such things.
They're big and chunky and comfortable.

They're naive and they go for blokes who also dress emo. Also it's "in" to look emo.
Besides, I need new footwear. The soles in my current ones have worn out.

Nike bought Converse a few years back.
Makes them a pretty unpalatable brand to quite a lot of people.
Vans are definately my trainer of choice. Although I bought some cheap 'trainers' from M&S a few weeks ago.

You see what you did there?
Besides, there are a lot of short people who wear platform boots.

Re: Going for the emo/sk8er boi look
Converse is almost only worn by fashion punks nowadays.
I dont get this "emo" look thought. I've always imagined that as a cross between punkish, a touch of golf and goth or whatever. Do they go with "skate" wear?
Ps subculture clothes/style are a way for companies to infiltrate, make money on and make those subcultures less dangerous. Punk is a awesome example of that, sadly
Oh and I have a pair of vans somewhere. They were very nice as wintershoes

Recommend you buy a pair of Adidas Rod Lavers' and start your quest to become footbag world champion.

I can't believe people put thought into their shoes. Especially people like dante who don't even shower or wash their clothes when they've bought them.

hold on, I interpreted runners as "running shoes".
Do you wear "running shoes" normally when heading down the pub or whatever?

Re: Going for the emo/sk8er boi look
I've got 4 pairs of fancy shoes in black, white, darkbrown and lightbrown. I'll be damned if anyone finds me dead while wearing trainers anywhere else then in the gym.

I just don't like white shoes/trainers
I don't give a shit about 'fashion' or 'style' as anyone who's met me will testify.

I don't run so I don't have running shoes. I wear a pair of white runners/trainers when I'm going anywhere except work, a nightclub or some sort of social engagement I'm supposed to look respectable at.

Re: Going for the emo/sk8er boi look
I have some white Lonsdales I wear sometimes - do they count as "trainers"?
On another note Blasto (I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert but...) - emos and sk8er bois aren't the same thing. sk8er bois wear baggy stuff, big shoes, and are just generally scruffy. There isn't much difference between them and students. Emos put a LOT more effort into their appearance. Someone find me a picture of an emo to show what I mean please?
I don't get the whole 16 year old fascination. Admittedly YES they often have perter bums and sexier bodies, but their boobs often haven't developed, and you're unlikely to get much in the way of interesting conversation out of them. Plus their experience in the bedroom department is going to be limited at best. Also they'll be living with their parents which just adds to complications.

I know. I know what they both look like.
But the mainstream think they're both the same to them.

Re: Going for the emo/sk8er boi look
I wear white trainers. And (apparently) climbing shoes, because they were quite comfortable. I didn't realise until I turned up to an exam and my friends were like ????? wtf?
Then again, I'm not known for going over the top in my appearance. My ex spent all her time trying to get me into 'nice' jeans (aka £60 'fasionable' ones that look like someone's taken a sander to them)
