I know these are ugly...
....but I just bought this style and color of Crocs yesterday...
...and I won't take them off. The most comfortable things ever! I've seen people wearing them and at first glance I think they are a stupid ugly fad, but I tried on my lil' cousin's pair this weekend (I can wear kids' sizes) and I had to get some right away.
Check out their vast array of styles!! Most can be quite fashionable when paired with the right ensemble! :P

Doc Martens are not what they used to be. After their popularity surged a few years ago, the quality started going down rapidly. I had a pair of Docs that I got in Dublin for £19. They lasted for 4 years, during which I wore them every day, often in
weather!!
snow kind of
like CNY -!!
- and then I had worn through the bottoms. Seeking to replace them, I have gone through a number of pairs, suffering through increasingly bad craftsmanship. I 'm just assuming that some phase of their product development has shifted to the Third or Second World - maybe Jakarta, or possibly Poughkeepsie...

I have a pair I got in Portland, OR, where Doc Martens North America is(like almost every other shoe company in the world). I paid $0 for them....because I know people. Like the dude who runs Doc Martens North America. Because I'm zyclonesque like that. Not sure if I'll get the freebie deal anymore, but I can often come up with a voucher that lets me buy any pair of shoes or boots Doc makes from the warehouse for $35. Makes a nice alternative to all of the Nikes I get for a fraction of retail.I had a pair of Docs that I got in Dublin for £19.
Don't step to U&Ler when it comes to beer or shoes.

I think we're pretty close in age. I bought those shoes in an Army/Navy surplus store in 1988. They might have been on a shelf there for a few years...they definitely weren't "hip" at that time - so the price wasn't inflated. The shoes were definitely not manufactured in the U&L...perhaps that's the reason that you can't buy a good pair these days, because the methmouthed aren't so good at stitching together soles?You mean that surge that started long before you were in high school? :roll'em:

For some reason, I thought I was responding to someone else. I do believe we're fairly close in age.
Dude...we don't make shoes here. That's what chinks are for. I'm not sure if any of those companies ever did....Avia might have at one point. Not sure Nike has since they were cranking them out of a waffle iron. Tigers used to make their early shoes for them.The shoes were definitely not manufactured in the U&L
BTW-a quick check of the label says my Docs were made in Thailand. Pretty sure they used to come out of London, before the world stopped giving a shit about decent products.
Although the shoes the athletes wear are made in the U&L....and the Chris Weber/Tracy McGrady/whatever signature models there are, are NOT the same as the ones you buy, except in general appearance. Their kicks are made from a custom mold from their feet, with custom materials, and are hand-stitched...the whole nine yards. I knew a dude who worked in that very department. Said Michael Jonson's shoes(about a women's size for that little whiney fairy) weighed in at about 2 ounces apiece....try finding those off the rack.
Dude...like tweekers work anywhere besides gas stations. But mostly at places where they can steal aluminum....perhaps that's the reason that you can't buy a good pair these days, because the methmouthed aren't so good at stitching together soles?

Ahhhh, the good old Palcian Chronicles.
Of course, that's assuming New Patsy and Old Patsy are one and the same.
Might be a stretch....since at one time, I had the keys to the Patsy nic(thanks for the crankshots, guys), I doubt it's much of a stretch that some other dude named Stan doesn't have them, too.

IM getting pretty tired of that and the wife asking me to get me a pair. i only agree to wear those dumbass shoes if she can find yellow or hot pink. whats that say about me?? somy buddy witht the blow the door open idea of spreading the gospel of crocs is not only sporting them at every get to gether, he wears them to my sho[p whi9lst we;re doing sawdust. then he starts sweating like a pig because he is really fat and then talks about the shoes. im so fucknig tired of hearing about these crocs and u and l'ers calling me up wanting some action on tonights packer/faghawk game. im pretty sure if i already owe you a case of beer, im not going double or noghinth on tonights game. i saw patsy in the newspaper last week but im not telling anybody what it was about. bwahahahaha.

Okay, Patsy, let's cut to the chase...
You've got a blurred pic of yourself in your av. You posted a thread about the sandals you just bought (which you've GOT to know nobody on this board really cares about).
Sure, Dins, PSU and bbq came in and proved that statement wrong, but there's no way you knew you'd get those reactions before hitting submit.
So, go on with it then. You know you want to post your picture...clear image and all.
Bring it!
