how about blundstones...they're workboots from australia...very reasonable...cool...and will last for years....great for 'busting around'...as my ex used to say...we had matching pairs...in black of course.. :P
this company is also amazing...pronounced sidewalk...designed by a former architect...the sole is created to recreate the feeling of walking on sand...we also had matching sandals from here...

I don't have the exact idea of what you really want after all.
but these labels can be brought into question, at least budget-wise.
"collection Privee?"

i like these runner - they might do the job.
my preference in shoes is a pair of extremely battered brown brogues - v. high quality heavy ones for an english look. however this look has been rather adopted by all the britsh neds who want to do the whole Paul Smith look. Its not fair. Neds spoil everything. I hate them. That said, if you don't look like a ned in any other respect, the shoes aren't going to on their own...

Thanks you softie. Blundstone - that's a blast from the past alright! I used to wear them at university, but haven't seen them for years in the UK. I like them. I think I'm going to go for the leather sneakers though...

Cool store Nqth. and by the way,, nice to have you back - you've been away.
I like the Mm trainers. The soft brogue idea is also good. Not easy to get any of those brands from where i am though. I really wanted a pair of undercover cons from the summer but they'd sold out at Browns by the time I got there. My search will go on. By the way - have you seen the shinny junya trainers I'm talking about - look at alohara.com - blue "ename" sneakers.

I've been a bit busy :-P Too much things have to be done lately. So I am just going thru the tFS pages without posting.
Yes I saw that lovely Junya trainers. Wow, love the bold blue color but it would be hard to me to wear. I only have a suede navy boots once:-)
I am thinking about the last summer's CdG canvas trainers with drawing. Do you like it?
Btw, I bought the comme trainers from last AW (hurra:-P)
Still wondering if it will fit me because a friend will bring it from Italy to me:-)

Nqth - the ones I'm thinking of are not blue but grey. Still shinny though, but a little less "loud" I think. I have the black trainers that you bought from last A/W!
And as for the drawings ones - I'm afraid I don't like. Nice shape, but didn't like the drawings. Check out pollyanna.com for thouse - they might be going cheap there.

I really enjoyed the site. thank you nqth

Ditto:-) I meant those one. Must think twice about those. I think the "invader trainers" from that collection are nicer. The drawings could be too "vulgar", indeed:-P
Love the black AW shoes:-) You don't know what a problem I had with shipping. They don't call you before they go to you.
The grey shinny Junya ones sound much much better!
You are welcome, Faust:-) If you are going to Berlin, don't forget to visit Hackescher Makt. Even the S-Bahn station smells great (it's coffee:-)
