Buying that rite pair of shoes.

i know most of u burn alot of rubber when ya do that crazy thing that people call "dancing"

i;m looking 2 buy a pair which i hope would last me for a while but dun know which ones to buy. i dun want to buy something just for street credibility, but actually be comfortable and be worth the actual price.

i was thinking about buying a pair of diesels (150-180 $AUD) coz they look good as well as having good craftsmanship,IMO and therefore worth the price tag.
does anyone know if DIESEL make legit shoes? (as in no sweatshop labour involoved)
and i dun buy adiddas and nikes and the likes coz of their use of sweatshops, even though they look good.

can anyone suggest anything else that is good looking and good quality as well?

i;m asking alot, but i like to spend my $$ wisely, since i sorta unemployed :P

i find that when i used my ol skateboarding shoes, they tended to show less wear from dancing...
go to any local skateboard shop and check out a pair

I agree..skate shoes work well. either that or a pair of the old skool lookin adidas.

THE ultimate dance shoe:

Adidas nu-skool Superstars (NOT the flat ones, the curved ones). Absolutely amazing traction, sticks to the floor but also lets you glide when necessary. Comfortable. Customizable (phat laces are a MUST). Durable. The ones I have right now have been going strong for over a year - most shoes don't last me that long ... my dancing style tends to tear them apart REAL fast.

I have two pairs of shoes that I alternate between. First is a pair of Vans ("skater" shoes) and the other is a pair of Lugz boots. The boots aren't quite as comfortable, but they have better ankle support, so I don't roll my ankle when I step on an empty water (or beer) bottle.

hehe, LUGZ? man, u must have really strong legs or sumthing 2 dance in those heavy mutha******s :P

accupunctures i dun really like coz all the ones that i've seen have pretty thick soles and i dun really like the look of that.

i know, i'm a bit fussy about this, but just want the perfect pair of shoes that will last me for some time and can wear everywhere

LUGZ shoes suck ! try Airwalk , they rock

Posted by Fraggle on Jun-29-2001 08:59:

yeah, i agree...i love my airwalks!!!
hmm...don't really care about fashion and stuff...i just like things that are comfortable & practical...& they fit the bill fine!!...tho yeah can be kinda exxie!!

Posted by arno on Jun-29-2001 11:31:

just buy a pair of puma's or adidas.

Posted by Chewy on Jun-29-2001 12:04:

ok. its not turning out as i hoped, so instead, can anyone tell me of sites that has info about which brands make their stuff legally? coz i;m sick of this sweatshop business that we know exists but ignoring coz no one can b bothered.

Hehe now nobody answers huh? Don't know it either. Love my fila's

Posted by Fraggle on Jun-29-2001 16:55:

hmm...i'd think most major clothing manufacturers use sweat shops!
even tho they don't like to admit it...but hey it's all about the profits right!?!?!

I make and design my onw shoes from:

http://www.customatix.com/

They are really great...you can pick what you want them to look like and they are surprisingly well as far as quality. Worried about souls...get the couple inch high ones like I got!

Posted by Tony Morello on Jun-29-2001 22:03:

i'm liking my adidas shoes right now, fairly comforable and light
they also seem to show wear pretty slow

Posted by sot on Jun-30-2001 05:27:

my adidas superstars are the hottest shoes for the dance floor..i love em. i wear em all the time when i go out.

When I partied I used some worn down Nike's. I didn't have much choice since I sport a size 14 and have to buy most of my shoes in the U.S.

Swear shoes are the ultimate dancing shoes. they are like extentions of my feet. thyey take a while to get used to walking in them but now i can't go to a club without them.

very expensive though.
