  1. 1. Whats your Favorite Shoe Brand?



Recommended Posts

Grenson for formal shoe, big fan of the Dylan brogue - have them in tan and black, would like them in brown.

For sports shoes, the Nike Free is my shoe of choice. Have two pairs - Flyknit Free 5.0 for indoor and Free Run 3.0 for outdoor.

For casual sneakers, torn between Adidas and Nike - Love my Lunar Safari Hyperfuse, classic ZX8000 and ZX Flux.

Work: Dr. Scholls no skid types, black.

Any other time, you'll see me wearing (except for winter)  White Nike red logo leather Cortez 

My mom got me to try a pair in 1975 when I was 15.  Been buying that kind ever since.  Light,

comfortable & easy on the feet.nike-classic-cortez-white-red-blue-2.jpg

dressy: prada, carlo pazolini
smart casual: camper, ecco
casual wear: ecco, porsche design by adidas

none of them are cheap brands, and none of them are really sporty looking, more casual / walking hiking, as i believe sportwear should stay in gym, or for doing sports.
this are the brands i consistently like to buy (except for prada - only had 2 pairs in my lifetime, since they are damn expensive, and can look outrages. but the ones i have, i love)

for sports, i like solomon (hiking), reebok crossfit (gym), and nike (yoga)



out of what you offer in the poll, i have to go with adidas, but only because they make porsche designed stuff (which i like, even though i don't like their cars)
i would say puma, but most of their stuff does not feet me well, and does not come in large enough sizes to fit me comfortably. except their designer lines, but for the price, i would rather have an ecco.
might not look as good, but damn comfortable.

Formal? Timberland and Caterpillar.


formal? :rolleyes:   if you work in construction.   not really the stuff you wear with a nice suit (something i would consider formal)

 

just checked the timberland website and they do have a whole bunch of new casual shoes (i used to love them boot 15 years ago, as they were in fashion in my town at the moment)

still, hardly a "formal" wear :p

Champion brand shoes from Target. I can usually get them for about 20 bucks and they'll last a year or so. Sorry, but I have more important things to spend my money on. I've never spent over $35 on a pair of sneakers, which is all I pretty much wear. My steel-toed boots were under $45 from Ghetto-Mart. The wife gets New Balance, usually for $50-$60.

Everyone has more important things to spend money on.  Doesnt mean one has to make an either / or type decision.

Casual: Vans / Etnies / Duffs

But as I don't live in the city any more, I tend to wear walking boots. Current pair are Hi-Tec but I still have a jacketed pair of Berghause that get occasional use. I'd really love a proper expensive decent pair but bills and food come first.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
