I just have problems finding any shoes in size 16. I don't care what they look like.

Socks too....!

I have to agree. I've been looking for a new pair of shoes for a few months now. Shoes suck arse, nowadays. :|

I hear ya. Everyone I know has also asked this. Probably why I go with the old school stuff. Adidas Originals and Converse Chuck Taylor's. You can't go wrong with those.

I think most New Balances arent too bad looking. Asics are pretty sharp too, for the most part.

Its tuff to find a "normal" pair of guys shoes. And what's up with the Frankenstein shoes all the females are wearing these days?

Because it is getting harder and harder to keep shoveling in new styles and demanding $150 for a pair of "shoes" which cost the manufacturer a grand total of $0.50 to produce.

The heels are getting thinner again. They did the big block heel (which I dig) a couple years ago, but the trend now is to a thin but wide heel. Looks weird IMHO.

I have very narrow,delicate feet, even some of the newer heel styles are too clunky for my tastes, the
big block heel was okay for pants but that was about it.
