I reccomend Visions, although rather expensive, they look heaps nice! And so far, they've lasted me a while. ive only had them 5 or so months i think... Best shoes that lasted me nearly 1 1/2 years (i had 2 pairs of shoes though...) were Reefs... but both Vision and Reef are hell pricey, i paid $150 for my visions but theyre normally priced $190...
Royals are classy as.... but ive heard that they dont last as long....

if you want good shoes you gotta pay the price ?
without sounding like a stuck up cunt since when is $150 to much for a pair of shoes ?!

Well, i didnt have a lot of money around then, anyhow, i still think $150 is expensive...but if they last then yeah, worth the investment... however if they had been $190i would have probably got them coz i liked them so much at the store... (i actually got the wrong box when i asked for another shoe, put the ones that were handed to me and changed my mind when i saw how good they looked....)

have been wearing a pair of CAT boots that i got about 3 years ago since my royals fell apart after only wearing them for about 6 months, cant find any royals i like these days either, though i got these royals ages ago but didnt start wearing them for a while. I bought a pair of diesel sneakers to replace them and they were *ucking expensive over $200 but they were the only sneakers i reemotely liked, and dont even wear them much cause they look stupid but i needed sneakers, so i resort to wearing a pair of beat up royals or the CAT boots.
Never had any problems with the cat boots though they were expensive, there over 3 years old only had to replace the laces and they look still good cause i polish them, but then techno is a lot slower than hi nrg hey so i wouldnt recocmend them for that, ill use the royals for that

word. run dmc were way ahead of their time :wink:
i recommend any type of skate shoe. they are designed to withstand the thrashing from skaters so they should be ok to dance in.
plus they usually look cool
:cool:

That's debatable...
Although that just could be that the rest of your beauty detracts from the footwear - not entirely sure.

best shoes i ever had [two pairs!] were nike jordan V's..
like dancing on clouds, but allowing the pin point stop and jump i require in my robotic mecha movements ;)
v. pricey though, and these days only available from specialty stores/online for a mint..

you would be lucky to get the reissued jordan 5s (not ebay copies) for less than $500
i just bought some air max 90 in the infrared colourway i cant wait till they arrive :)
best lo cut shoes of all time imo!

99.9% of nike shoes on ebay are not authentic
which means theres a good chance you will end up damaging your feet/ankles if you plan on using them for 'active' purposes :(

yep , I have to recomend ROYALS. i have 3 pair of them and would buy another. they have lots of versitille stylings and they are heeeaps comfy! there light and not too clumpy or chunky, very important when raving, most of them are leather so they are easy to clean of the 'recovery' and 'plur' stains off them !
theirs a shop called "pairs" at harbour town that has quite a few varied styles of them all for $80 peice. chek it when your going past next.
there are a couple of others kicks which are good, I find that adidas's, although they look fresh, they arnt al that comfy, shell toes are wakness to dance in! pumas are good, nice shape, good style pretty much an all rounder, (these are all sort of fashion kicks, u know not really sneakers)
If your going for sneakers get on ebay and hook up a pair of air max's :troop: ooh yea. max 90's and BW have sooo many fresh colour combo's my sister hooked up some black BW's with pussy pink tick and detail. they are the realness.
but in saying that when walking through rebals i have sussed out the new school nike x trainers and some of the styles are so wickid and new, heaps innovative , nike's always have the styling spot on for sure.
fin.
edit. yes alexb has a good point about unauthentic kicks being sold on ebay, im not sure how to get around this one, i spose try to buy from a reputable seller, and even then u cant be certain.
