Favorite shoe brands? I'm talking under $100.

I want some new everyday shoes and I am tired of buying crappy skechers all the time. They're nice shoes but they are just not what I want anymore. Their style is a little too preppy for my taste. I want something with some style that is lightweight and comfortable.

I am looking for something along the lines of this kind of shoe but in a darker color or black with white accents. I have tried white shoes but I just don't care enough to keep them clean. I don't think I'll buy any more white shoes.

For the record I am very much a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy.

I found a nice collection of other shoes that I like since nobody else has posted here yet.

Fila honda racing low <----It's a shame that those are honda racing shoes. They're pretty sweet looking but I'd probably get laughed at since I don't own a honda. Maybe if I get a cbr.

Fila falcon

I wear and love these: Umbro, don't know the model. Paid them $40 at FootLocker. Really light and comfortable, solid base/sole yet flexible enough at the toes to feel the pedals and get a good feel when driving.

I know that indoor soccer shoes are comfortable but I don't really like the style of Umbro and Adidas anymore.

I like these too. I need to stop searching the interwebs for shoes.

Puma Black/ Black/ Silver Men's Cell Amar Shoe

Marc Ecko Black / Grey Men's Gran Shoe <--- Do you think a white guy like me could pull off Ecko shoes?

It all depends on how you dress as well. And yes, srsly, head to a shoe store and try some on!

**Chefsp0t** · 11-3-09, 23:08

I'm going through my old clothes tonight and getting rid of the crap I don't wear anymore. On friday or saturday I'll head over to the outlets near my house to find shoes and some comfy new jeans for the winter.

what Joey said.. Just try a crap load on. I always liked air walks but they are very flat and not much support.. I have 2 pairs of Nike airs. There light and snug, good arch.

I always get white shoes because white goes with anything you wear. I've had one pair of white nikes for 5 years now, and they still look clean.

I have been contemplating on buying a pair of Lugz. Seem nice for a boot type foot wear.

I prefer skate style shoes, but htats also from my background and my style. I'm also jeans and T-shirt guy. I like DC Shoes and Adios. FWIW I find the $60+ price tag off putting so I buy them on the years end clearance from PacSun for $10-15 a pair and buy three or four pairs at a time. It helps I wear an off size too I guess. Apparently 9.5-10 is not a popular mens size.

Yeah, I'm not a skateboarder and I don't want to be a poser who wears skate shoes and can't skate. I do rollerblade pretty often during the summer but I wouldn't call myself a skater.

**mazdaboyracer** · 11-3-09, 23:25

Same difference. I used to aggressive blade all the time when I was in high school, not so much skateboarding. If the companies are going to style shoes and sell the, to non-skaters, then they can't bitch about posers.

**Chefsp0t** · 11-3-09, 23:26

I guess that's true enough. Maybe I will try some on and see how they fit.

**mazdaboyracer** · 11-3-09, 23:28

Damn Chef you post quicker then a post whore in a thread factory!

**Chefsp0t** · 11-3-09, 23:30

Lulz. I am bored.

**mazdaboyracer** · 11-3-09, 23:34

**midrange** · 11-3-09, 23:47
