    I’d recommend 991’s too for all day comfort, they aren’t an athletic shoe but they are great if you’re on your feet all day.

      @Chap @scarfmace @Erikdayo hope you don't mind my asking but I stumbled across some of your posts where you mentioned Shoes like pottery sneakers. Can you comment on quality/fit/durability? I'm considering the lowtops to replace some knackered sneakers. Thanks!

        @Tago Mago  sure! I own their white mid tops and I love em. The sole is pretty thin but still solid enough that you don't feel small rocks etc trough em when you walk. they are light and comfortable. they fit true to size but are a little snugg in the toebox. The Canvas is nice, thick and neppy. I have them for about 8 months or so and have been wearing them alot. Still no sign of stress points

          thanks @scarfmace , that's really helpful. I realize that these are different price points but how do they compare to classic Vans Slip-ons or Old Skool in terms of sizing?

              @Tago Mago - I seem to believe that Shoes Like Pottery are made by Moonstar, so the sizing of the Iron Heart sneakers should be very similar to the SLP models. That usually corresponds similarly to UK sizing of Converse 70s.

                  Radiall Chick Gripper 'Tribe' - Bought these directly from Japan a while ago. While I'm not crazy about the pattern (Radiall also did a matching shirt!) in terms of construction and the overall shape/silhouette they're definitely some of my favourite hi-tops which is mostly what I wear. I saw a used pair of these online recently in a plain Burgundy throughout and am currently on the hunt for a pair in my size 🙂

                    Those are awesome, Ben!  I didn't know that Radiall made high tops.  How's the construction compared to a Converse Chuck Taylor 70s?

                      @Paul9221 I've been really impressed with the construction personally. Mostly I'm wearing All Star hi Made in Japan these days and haven't had 70's in a while so I struggle to remember how long my last pair lasted! But these Radiall's were already second hand when I got them maybe 6 months or a year ago and have been worn quite a bit - they're still holding up really well 🙂

                        @Ben - I'm gonna need Sonders to start stocking these STAT!  These are amazing. Thanks for sharing!

                        I love the Possessive Collabs - are these make my someone else to Radiall's specs?

                          @Appfaff I don't have too much in depth knowledge about them although the Made in Japan/Size stamp on the tongue is very similar in appearance to many other canvas hi tops from Japan I've seen over the years across multiple brands.

                            @Ben ok cool, so probably Moonstar? lol

                            they do look similar in silhouette to the Lofgren hi tops Self Edge did a few years ago..

                              @Appfaff I actually had those in the Ecru colourway they did (I think you mean the ones that had the 'Self Edge' logo in a really funky font on the side). I'd say the canvas on these feels a bit thicker/stiffer than it was on my Self Edge Lofgren's and the sole seems a bit thicker too. I sold my Self Edge's on but wish I'd kept them now!

                                        I’ve been wearing the Black Kim Jones 70s for a few months now, but finally broke out the Ecru.

                                        REALLY liking these!
