the thing i don't like about DC is that they're all like.. yo yo, look at me, i've got big fat dc skate shoes.. since when did skate shoes become the modern day equivalent to moonshoes?? there's a few DCs that are well designed, such as the new a.v.e.. but for the most part they're big ass wastes.. i also can't stand how everybody has a pair of DCs.
i dunno.. just my opinion.

'yo yo, look at me, i've got big fat dc skate shoes' heh heh thats a great line. i got dc's because the only kind of shoes you can get in my town is skate shoes or gay shoes and im too lazy to go to clgary to get shoes. dc's were the cheapest shoes in there and they were comfy and looked good.

well, i wear birkenstocks all the time, but when i have to wear shoes, i wear és... cuz yes, they are super duper comfy, and cuz they last a lot longer than dc or osiris from my experience.. even if all 3 of these shoes were equal, i'd still wear és.. they seem to contribute more to the skate community than any other shoe company does.. i dunno, i'm just not down with the whole tongue-sticking-out phenomenon.

Yeah I have a pair of Reefs and a pair of Birkenstocks but its gettin pretty damn cold and it sucks walking from my car to school in the rain when its cold. Where can I get some of these es shoes? They sound good. Reefs are the best cuz the more you wear the comfier they get, and you can wear them to the ground

Wntrill, you can get es at any skate shop.

I wear Adios right now, they're pretty sweet looking and comfy. I also like vans, pretty stylie and comfy. Circas and Osiris are reaaally comfy, I might have to pick up a pair of those soon, that puffy shoe thing is pretty played out but I could give a fuck if its comfy.

you can get worms with barefeet.

I like vans a lot. I dont know why, I just do. and Nikes are always a good buy, even though they arent skate shoes. I think es is gay. they just all look gay. and converse chuck taylorall stars (low tops). those are cool. I have a pair

FLIP FLOPS!!!! The official skiing shoe when you're not skiing. or bare foot (coconut), it's all good man!!! Ski boots are the shit and who cares what you wear when you're not wearing them, unless you do other sports and then you need 'specialist' equipment.

Um, I just have some blue Converse All Stars that I've had for like 2 years. After you break em in those shoes are the most comfort you can get, they just feel like a sock with a sole on em, no padding though.

i know it may seem like i am a total Oakley whore but i've never had any problems with their stuff so i have nothing but good things to say about them.

That said, any of the oakley shoes are ULTRA comfy. I have three different pairs (Flesh, Shoe Two and the Golf shoes) and they are all by far the most comfortable i've ever owned. Sure, some people may think they are ugly but i don't really think so...and really, who gives a shit??

I had some of the first DCs that came out,, the Clockers way back in like 97. Now they are the total frat/poser shoes. So i gotta wear eS and Lakai now,, i have some etnies but they really didnt hold up for skating,, holes all over the place. eS is dope,, DC still is good,, Lakai is one of my new favorites.

Osiris D3 is totally fratted out.
