if you're not looking for style but instead for performance, any old bag will do, and i'm not sure this is the right place to ask. however, if you're looking for style [I]and[/I] performance, then i'm sure that people can provide some really nice recommendations. i personally don't have any, i'm just posting this to point out the distinction, which is, that if you're looking for something that can last and perform well, you needn't necessarily shy away from stylish bags as well

Personally I really don't like that green one
I think the green may be too bright, idk.
Might just be lighting though, but yeah it looks way too bright

ouch :(
Got two things at goodwill today, spent $10.
Got a pair an old beat up pair of Stacy Adams, that are a half size to big but still fit fine with no slip, just a fraction longer than my other boots, not even really noticeable.

And this genuine leather motorcycle jacket, which fits perfectly and is in great shape although a little older. Looked really nice.

I love looking through second hand stores, you can really find some cool stuff
i dont like the idea of second hand shoes that have conformed to someone elses foot already
how do you find so much good stuff? All I see when I go to the thrift store is old clothing a hobo would wear. Good catches until now - 0

I just popped the insoles in from my converse boots, and they fit great, nice tight fit. Basically they are just very flexible and broken in. The only thing is an odd wear pattern on the heels, but I'll take them to the cobbler and get a new synthetic heel put on. For $5 I'll put up with some odd things. They are really comfortable now that I've got new insoles in them.

I go every day. That's how I find the good stuff. Because anything worth anything wont be around after a few hours. The stores are on my way home and it's a cheap hobby.

that's a nice leather biker jacket. I've been looking for one myself, but seriously wow that is nice almost exactly like what I'm looking for
good finds

I've never bought shoes at a second hand store

When you don't make much money, it's like Christmas finding a nice pair. One time one of my female friends boyfriend's up and left one day. He left a few pairs of Vans, it was great.
well if you find any more stacy adams in size 9 ajacks let me know (mail them 2 me) :~)
[QUOTE=Liem;42072625]I've never bought shoes at a second hand store[/QUOTE]
I buy all of my vintage shoes there. Most of them are in such good condition that I don't even have to get them re-soled.
i dont get who would just give away a perfectly acceptable condition mid-end shoe like a stacy adams though

rich people
if you go thrifting in an area where theres a huge number of very wealthy people living nearby, these people just throw away their old wardrobe like it's nothing, and quickly too
easy to find really nice stuff
[QUOTE=notlabbet;42073753]because you died[/QUOTE]
i was thinking about that before like the only way i can imagine is if its a dead persons
imagine wearing a dead mans shoes

thinking of nabbing a pair of these (maybe not that colour, but that style)
y/n?[/QUOTE]
All those shapes and shit on the side make it look like a kids' shoe, don't do it
In other news I am gonna try to find a store that carries these
[img]http://shop2.vans.com/wcsstore/Vans/images/products/OKY8I0D3B.JPG[/img]
Or these I would also be pleased with

Wish me luck fuls
i've never had any luck finding OTW Vans stuff in the colour/style/size I want because they usually sell out pretty quickly
the stores that do have them usually don't ship to Australia or charge more than the shoe for shipping
[editline]4th September 2013[/editline]
those hi-tops are amazing tho pls tell me if u find some in a size 11US :^))

Yeah aus is a bit of a bitch to shop online in
There's a Vans store I'm gonna have a look through, it's in the QVB I think in Syd so it may be painfully pricey but hopefully the selection will be good
Will post whatever I buy/find of interest, stay tuned

The one I used to have like that didn't have the square on the side, and I think the shapes on the side were even closer to the shoes color though, looked a little better than that
