Or, testify to your peasant status by posting pictures of your disgusting canvas shoes you can't replace because you are too broke and/or attached to aforementioned disgusting article.

i'll take one when i get home. yours don't look too bad..

gmku 08.23.2009 10:52 AM

My wife refused to be seen in public with me in them, so they don't have 11 years of actual wear. I can only wear them sans esposa.

ploesj 08.23.2009 11:07 AM

my five year old converse have holes so big you can always see what socks i'm wearing.

gmku 08.23.2009 11:13 AM

I'd like mine to get there. I think they don't look their best until they're falling apart.

These Chucks are 5 years old with almost constant wear for 3 of those years. That hole has been Shoe Goo'd shut for about a year.

Chiefly used nowadays among skateboarders to extend the life of their shoes.

Gaping holes in the sides...




 






^^There's rust forming on the right one from a guitar string...


 







I honestly don't know how they're still in one piece.

Yeah. It's about $5 a tube. It will hold great, but you have to let it cure for 24 hours and it's very very gooey (obvious phrase is obvious).

Good for you :3
I don't even wear my beat up shoes anymore. They're painful to walk in.

floatingslowly 08.23.2009 02:33 PM

5 year old hemp NRTN's.

they've been through Barcelona, New York, ice, mud, paint, countless filthy shows and countless yard mowings. although I have newer adidas, I still wear these just about every day.
