      They make me sad because they are ugly. And not interesting ugly which I’m fine with. They are just regular ugly.

        @Tago-Mago you mentioned your shoes like pottery sneakers, how are they compared to vans? Are they worth paying double the amount of money? How comfy are they when you spend the day in them and is there any separation of the sole visible? I have the IH sneakers which I think are made in the same factory but they seem to be very different

          @FlavourFade i am travelling right now. I’ll send you some pics when I’m home again. In general, the sole seems to be fused to the shoe more solidly than the Vans. To me, they feel slightly more breathable than Vans, although this may simply be because they have laces as opposed to the slip-ons I wear from Vans

              Got these today in the Mail, bit snug but very comfy to walk on the thick soles. Bought them for running but somehow think they look cool with my denim also.

                Opinions on Doek shoes? Thinking of picking up a pair of their indigo court sneakers, the positive effects that come with the indigo dye they use is pretty cool.

                “ Indigo-dyed threads are woven on an original canvas using an old-fashioned power loom. Indigo dyeing, which uses Tadeai as a dye, is said to have deodorizing, antibacterial, anti-ultraviolet, and anti-insect effects. It is also said to be craftwork that is filled with the wisdom of predecessors.”

                  @spleef_oner I believe they are made by moonstar so should be same quality as shoes like pottery, lofgren sneakers or IH sneakers... To be honest I think you pay a lot of money for the "Made in Japan" slogan, make of that what you want. They are all better made than Converse but I don't feel like they are worlds apart. Still love all my moonstar made sneakers and don't regret paying more...

                    @FlavourFade ah right on, I didn’t realize they were made by moonstar, thanks for the info! I did find doek court sneakers for $85, which isn’t much different in pricing than converse 70, there is some shipping to take into account as they’re coming from Japan but it isn’t too bad.

                        my favorite sneakers are 'shoes like pottery'
                        In fact I bought my first pair 4 years ago and they are still good to wear to this day. They where on sale on END. so I bought the same pair again.

                                  @endo Funny you should mention it, the old pair have just undergone a black dye treatment. I'm very pleased with the result, I'll post a pic later.

                                    So this is my 4 year old pair of 'shoes like pottery'. They used to be white but I did a black machine dye a couple nights ago. I love how they turned out, its not 100% black but the coulor has some eggplant vibe to it. Will prob wear them till I get a hole in my sole. 🙂

                                        For anyone interested in how tough the Shoes Like Pottery sneakers are, I bought my first pair for £25 off eBay 2 years ago and they were well worn to say the least.. I liked them so much I bought two new pairs and.. I haven’t had chance to wear them yet. The well worn £25 pair still looks exactly the same as when I bought them and they have been worn pretty much constantly for two years.

                                        The new ones I purchased directly from the goodweaver.jp website for £52 while Rivet & Hide sell them for £145. They also stock the full range of indigo Doek sneakers for £68 which are £145 on the Drakes website.

                                          Great tip @DeeDee85 I’ve come close to pulling the trigger on a pair of SLP a few times, but always worry about the grip. The sole looks like it’d be slippery in the rain. Is this the case?

                                            @jerkules I was worried about that myself and I don’t know what sorcery SLP use but somehow my well worn pair are still super grippy. I’ll add a couple of pics of their current condition to this post.

                                            The one time I have slipped in them I was carrying a huge bunch of helium filled Peppa Pig balloons on my way into a kids party and stupidly decided to take a small shortcut out of a car park down a steep grass slope (which was way muddier than I anticipated) and skidded down a good ten foot of it without decking it.. I just wish someone had happened to have being filming it 😂8D1266DB-460F-4143-968F-941F626756ED.jpeg 231C0AE5-912B-43FF-9895-4DC5B37C4CFA.jpeg C411969A-EE84-4F07-AFA3-83A0B97CCB80.jpeg
