Lookin' good Mrs. G!!! And those FH Chucks look great.

You are too kind, LC!!!

And Beats, I think you are a shoe size above me so you are probably safe wearing your green Millreefs when you visit, but don't be too sure - they might disappear at any time…

I am gonna have to take that risk *** or I´ll just sleep with my shoes on - u are very sneaky , Lady Buttonfly.
Those TW´s fit u nice - I miss wearing something that feels like sweatpants. Looking forward to more buttonfly waywt editions , esp. when the new pair is on ur back.

Those jeans look great, Paula!..

[Madame Buttonfly]

These jeans are so worn in they're like pajama bottoms.  It's turned bloody cold here, I might just wear them in bed tonight!

Which is where I'm off to now….

Night, night.

[Madame Buttonfly]

My new Mill Reefs arrived today!  Sorry the pics are pretty awful (and I did hike up my grotty old Levis, don't normally wear them this short!)  I am SO happy….

[Beatle]

super happy they arrived safe and sound ***

[Madame Buttonfly]

Super happy too, thanks for all your help Beats!

@LandoCal126:

It is these intricacies that are IMPORTANT when it comes to sneakers!

Vital! In my honest. Was looking at the reissue "70/80's" Puma States, or as they are known in the US Suede, now although they are waaay better than fairly recent reissues there are still issues for me , very minor in most eyes but when a company say that they are "as they were Back In The Day" i want them to be damnit exact as i recall or even have.

almost all sneaks from the 70's and early 80's that were still made in USA are better than the new made in China crap…
Vintage, baby, vintage

[Dchill]

So where can you buy original style or true vintage sneaks?

[Heavy Duty]

The World's Favourite Auction Site, secondhand stores or some specialist trainer stores

Actually i'm going to slighty disagree here. Now normally i'd slate and avoid anything that's made in China, however trainers from the big companies made out there are rather well made, and that goes for Vietnamnese made ones as well, it's the cheaper MATERIALS that's the issue….along with the moral side of it as well of course.

Yeah I figured that, thought there might be some great sneaker source I didn't know about though.  Thanks HD.

No problem. I'm always on the hunt for rare and vintage stuff and still dream of coming across some site/store/warehouse full of deadstock goodness, 'tis only a dream though

[Dchill]

What a great dream to have…..

Heard/read some stories of people finding such a motherload, and one such story involved a friend of a relative of mine just a few months back, think it's the reason i still hold out some hope haha!
