at last! someone going thru the same thing as me, albeit nine months later....
i'm currently in the Diesel double velcroes. they fucking rock. good to look at, good to dance in, go with all my clothes etc...
the thing is, i too want a pair of doof doof shoes, but there are none out there. Royals have completely gone to shit (new models), Acupunctures have gone under, and the generation my current Diesel's come from were imho the last of the Mohicans.
shoes these days are looking increasingly more like bowling shoes, or are getting way to Retro. there are plenty of cool shoes out there, but my problem is after having non-lace ups, its near on impossible to go back.
as a last resort i've decided to buy another pair of my current shoes. after looking for 2 months i had given up until i randomly walked into Myer today and saw the last pair, possibly in Melbourne (i know Syd reputedly have em). now i have another problem. my current ones were this nice neutral camel/beige colour, the ones i have put away are FUCKOFF RED!
my new dilemma: do i bite the bullet and go the bright shoes, or try to beat the bomb and get more out of my current ones in the hope of finding someting better?
i dont hink its so bad considering my current ones have nothing wrong with them apart from starting to wear out and with the onset of winter...
i also have the buckle acupuntures with the funny plastic to cap. so i can rotate if need be.
hehehe...life is good when such trivial things are my only concern
PS: if anyone has a pair of the old Metalheadz Royals in blue and yellow they want to sell me i'd appreciate it
