    yep. The low tops were too low and the high tops were too high. I liked a little freedom in the ankle when skating, but I needed more than what low tops provided. Vans were pretty cheap and by the time I was customizing with scissors I was "buying my own". I used a couple weeks worth of my 20 buck a week allowance to buy new vans about every 1-2 months.

      Wow. $20/week allowance in the 80s? Rich kid alert!

        Late 80s and early 90s and my friends had a much larger allowance

        We were not hurtin, but I would hardly classify us as rich. I lived in Temecula...ask DDD what his OC ass thought of us inland empire hicks...

        Here is a hint...we were NOT the rich kids.



        EDIT: I realize that DDD lived in TO Lancer land but he has more recently lived in OC...at least I thought he did.

                I have also discovered this feature. It is not easy on the pocketbook, and many will decry my shoe designs as "ugly" but nonetheless, I am excited for this pair I have coming.

                  Those are very similar to my prod 5's. I prefer them with white laces but I only found a pic with black. I absolutely love them, I picked up a pair of tan ones the other day.

                          I'm willing to buy a pair of those for Soup if that means she's going to put some shoes on.

                              we have a lot of the same style shoes, just different colors. I have a pair of Air Zooms that I mentioned previously. They are from Japan......light blue and gray color scheme. Very comfortable, too. Nike's skate shoe stuff is pretty cool, surprisingly enough.

                              Has anyone ever owned a pair of Hook Ups? I had a similar pair of these in college, but different color scheme and slightly different style, but with the Red Eyes cartoon logo. I've never owned a more comfortable pair of sneaks. Hook Ups isnt a common brand but I'd be interested in getting another pair.



                              Another weird brand is Nice. In fact, I have never seen them for sale anywhere other than the store in Lake Forest, which is now closed. I still have my pair of Nice shoes and they are great.
                              Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

                                I picked up these Vans about 5 years ago at the Nordstrom Rack in Sugarhouse that are so rad. They're slip on black basket weave leather. I have never seen another pair like them. I have worn them out but still rock them. This is the closest thing I have found but mine are woven check all the way around.
