Other shoe-brands

[sabergirl]

I just got some of the ones that are like shoes, with a lace-up front, and full backs. I think the model is called Dundee. They're so comfortable, and look pretty good with jeans. I know that kind of excludes their primary role as sandals, but I'm really loving em.

I got a pair of the soft footbed Bostons in black leather. Couldn't be happier with them.

Figured I would post these here.
Doek oxfords in ecru, made by Moonstar (same people as Shoes Like Pottery) in Kurume, Japan.
I really like white sneakers and the cork insole really feels nice!

Nice man! I've been looking at the ecru slipons. Does the cork feel weird at all or does it actually help with comfort and wetness? How do they compare to the lofgrens? Do they get the broark seal of approval?

[Broark]

@grandmasterben I just got them in the mail about an hour ago, so I haven't gotten to wear them yet. But in regards to construction and feel they are on par with the Lofgren champions. Clean stitching inside, they feel very sturdy and heafty. Initially the cork footbed feels nice, I'll likely wear them for a few days and report back. I'm hoping the cork helps with moisture as I tend to like to wear shoes like this without socks.

need something "chill" for the office on site @Giles
thanks for the suggestion @superfuzz those are the ones you're wearing in the DWCxUHR thread, yes!?

[superfuzz]

Yes! I love them. The soft footbed is especially comfy!

Any recommendations for something light and good for summer – along the lines of keds, converse, vans, etc, that comes in extra wide? I'm struggling finding something other than boat shoes that has the width I want.

I am a 8.5E in Whites and WESCO and New Balance 998 and PFFlyer MIJ in US9 do fit pretty good

Thanks. Know a good place to buy MIJ PF Flyers in the USA?

I'm a 10E in White's and it's a solid fit. I have some New Balance M574 in 10.5 EE and they are too snug in the top of the toe box. I tried size 11 EE and they were too long and still not wide enough.

edit: to answer my own question, I picked up some Vans Sk8 that barely fit at size 11. I'd prefer wider, but it's workable for something casual I guess.
