I'd rather spend $6 on a pair of cheap shoes at a dollar store

3 mos... quality is out there you've just got to look in the
less conventional places to find it

next time you're in atlanta, hit calhoun and dalton, see what those outlets have to offer




Yeah I usually go to the outlets out near Commerce or on the way up to Dahlonega.

And I don't really have the choice of being choosy. When you're 6'6" it's tough to find pants and long-sleeve shirts. Sure, I could shop at the big and tall stores, but all of those clothes are geared toward 30+ year old crowd. Finding shoes is even more retardedly difficult. Last time I went to a shoe store in NYC and asked the guy what they had in size 15 he laughed a little bit. I'll just stick to buying them online, it's always a futile search in stores unless I want basketball shoes... And I don't.

I kinda just have to take whatever I can find that fits, and usually that ends up being at the stupid expensive stores :shrug:

Gumby i know exactly what you mean! Having to need a size 15 shoe since i was 15 was pretty annoying. I ended up just having to go to footlocker.

I don't know if $6 sneakers vs. $150 sneakers is that great of a comparison.  I have a pair of adidas that's almost 10 years old, that I've had to have walked over 1000 mi in, and physically they're in totally fine shape.  I have some old Nike's too that are still fine.

Check out Nudie Jeans.

They look great and are very tough. Expensive though.

You ever checked out www.oddball.com ?

They have a pretty decent selection and the guys there are nice. If you're not sure if a shoe will fit you, just call them after you place your order and give them some kind of shoe to compare it to. I tell them that I usually wear a size 15 in vans and 16 in Adidas and they change my order so I get the right sized shoe. I've been ordering from them for about 6 or 7 years.

the $6 pair of Ocean Pacific shoes I bought in a pinch lasted
me almost 8 years, the $12 Kangaroos always lasted me around 6
years... I've never had any shoes from Nike that were
comfortable in the first month and never had a pair last more
than 5 months

I'm also a one pair kinda guy, no need to have 8 pairs to
swap off with, I wear them until there's no sole left and buy
a new pair
