[masshi]

could somebody explain why cp's chelsea boots are so popular?

asking because i'm legitimately curious (not trying to sound condescending or like a smartass or whatever)

 

[OccultaVexillum]

I think they've gotten as popular as they have because of Kanye tbh. First it was the cp chelseas then it was the BV chelsea.
I personally like them because they are just easy to wear and the crepe sole is real comfortable, most chelseas have a stacked heel and look either too dressy or too workboot imo, the CP is perfect.
I have a pair of the black leather version from 4-5 years ago and they've been destroyed. i mean they are everywhere now and definitely over saturated but it's not like it's a "new" thing and I can't see them disappearing even after the hypebeasts graduate to the next thing.

Definitely because of Kanye.

Is toe creasing with suede slip ons pretty normal? I've only worn mine once and the right foot (my larger foot) already has a crease.

Thanks for the heads up on this. Grabbed a pair of Khaki. Price is too good.

 

[Steel28]

Great deal on those lows, thanks.

so my friend was able to order through nitty gritty and i got my achilles lows today

is this something worth caring about, or am i just being anal (i'm guessing the latter?)?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

i'm gonna beat them up so i'm keeping them regardless, but idk




btw, does anybody else redo the lacing on their designer sneakers?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

i prefer cross-lacing, but do you guys think that messes with the "lines" of the shoe or something?

If you want to keep the shape for longer put some shoe trees in. But it only prolongs the inevitable.

I like the original lacing style, normally used on most high-end designer sneakers. The cross lacing makes them look like Stan Smiths.

 

[ursman]

Normally I will lace up a shoe with cross lacing if I need them tighter. Bar lacing is a much cleaner look, IMO.

 

[kennethj]

Sawtooth lacing is the best and cleanest for designer shoes IMO.

Not sure what I'm looking at. They look fine.

You do you, boo.

Order from End delivers to NYC today for an order placed late Sunday night. Amazing service.

Does anybody have a pair of the three strap achilles? Thinking about pulling the trigger on the brown pair.
