The problem with sneaks is they seem to use vulcanization or glue instead of welted or stitched down construction. They've emphasized flexibility over rebuildability. I'm not sure a welted sneaker would still be a sneaker.

What I'm considering would utilize stitch down construction and for the most wouldn't stray far from the traditional Cons/Flyers aesthetic. The soles themselves would be Vibram, albeit similar to those on the aforementioned sneakers. I have looked enough into the idea to know it achievable. The questions are, would anyone have interest, and is there anything that might be considered must haves in such a venture?

[Giles]

@Aetas & @Finn666 Paula not interested…..

[Madame Buttonfly]

Hi @Aetas - keep us posted and definitely let @Finn666 have first refusal, I would like to upgrade my phone but it's not a priority for me as I'm not exactly a power user (I make the odd phone call and send the occasional text)

@jdl1279 take a look at Hender Scheme. They do all-leather replicas of trainers and sneakers.

I saw them at the Up There Store here in Melbourne, and online at Haven. Google also pointed me at MAAS & Stacks and Blue Button.

Unfortunately they start at about $800. Fortunately for my wallet they top out at a US 11, which is about three sizes too small.

@Madame Buttonfly if you're after a cheap mobile, and willing to turn to the Dark Side, then the Moto G is a good option. The unlocked 3G version is £149, and 4G comes in at a tenner more!

I like those but would still consider trying my hand at producing some if I thought it viable. I would like something that any cobbler or shoe repair shop with access to Vibram soles could easily do a swap on. Uppers could realistically be leather, raw canvas, or raw denim. I may try my hand at a personal pair for the hell of it

Quick question. Why do they have extra stitch work to some shirts?

The chain stitch runoff?  Some would say there's no reason for it at all.

[mclaincausey]

There's also the overlock stitch runoff on the thermals… on the sleeve cuffs those are annoying

Backed - don't mind 'm on shirts, but I do cut 'm off on sweats/ therms/…

[Jordonf9]

Thanks, figured it was a little weird.

This could go in rants, but not really intended as such. What makes someone think they can lie about fundamental things in their life, while maintaining and attempting to build a relationship with someone? We're not talking a little white one either. At least found out before things got too far
