Is this a serious question?<BR/><BR/>I guess that I'm going to age myself here, but I'm old enough to remember when everyone had a pair of white, canvas shoes that were regularly thrown in with their laundry. This not only got them clean, but would also make them softer.<BR/><BR/>The reason why everyone owned a pair was because there were no other choices for rubber-soled, casual shoes. When you wanted a unique color, you dyed them in the washer, and if they didn't turn out well, they were inexpensive enough for you to buy 5 more pairs for experimentation purposes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10736511.post-28071789090225958302008-07-21T05:47:00.000+10:002008-07-21T05:47:00.000+10:00Pretty shoesPretty shoesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10736511.post-83921859721367388932008-05-12T22:59:00.000+10:002008-05-12T22:59:00.000+10:00I guess they're that much more ironic than "known"...I guess they're that much more ironic than "known" brand like converse.

They actually went up from $10 - $25 overnight in mid 2007 due to the hipterism resurgence.<BR/><BR/>My take on them, being a blogger of shoes, is that they are just an easy way out.

Perhaps I was thinking about the fact that I've always bought my Keds shoes from <A HREF="http://forums.vogue.com.au/archive/index.php/t-79763.html" REL="nofollow"> Converse outlets</A>.<BR/><BR/>And popgoescanberra: The dirtiness of sneakers is an interesting idea. When I was a kid it was desperately uncool to have pristine white sneakers - we'd get our friends to stamp on our feet to dirty 'em up. However, later on I remember being so obsessive about my white canvas tennis shoes that I used some kind of roll-on white paint to keep them clean-looking. <BR/><BR/>As far as I've noticed, the people wearing these shoes don't seem to put much of a premium on keeping them pristine - at Meredith a couple of weekends ago I saw quite of few of them in sad muddy states. But then on Saturday night I was at a filthy hipster party at a venue aptly named Shit Town, and was astounded to see some sparkling white plimsolls shining like beacons amid the grime. Maybe they just happened to be new?Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987383983530564029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10736511.post-75830986735863342212007-12-23T16:14:00.000+11:002007-12-23T16:14:00.000+11:00How does one keep them clean, whether one may be i...How does one keep them clean, whether one may be in the grotty city or the muddy country?PopGoesCanberrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443208938865237046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10736511.post-65106809668399414912007-12-11T22:39:00.000+11:002007-12-11T22:39:00.000+11:00TAKE OFF YR PLIMSOULS SO WE CAN WRESTLEi like thes...TAKE OFF YR PLIMSOULS SO WE CAN WRESTLE<BR/><BR/>i like these shoes but you cant get them in my size at kmart. dang. <BR/><BR/>since i got these other ones for $20 at sydney's RABEN FOOTWEAR last year buying shoes for more than that seems so ridulous<BR/><BR/>funny to think of so many hipsters with their no-socks sandshoes getting smelly feets all over the placeRICHARDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04122942308404666091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10736511.post-2352526049562745682007-12-06T14:42:00.000+11:002007-12-06T14:42:00.000+11:00A small correction: Keds have never been owned by...A small correction: Keds have never been owned by Converse. In fact Converse is now owned by Nike. Keds have been owned by Stride Rite for the past 20 or so years, and with Stride Rite were recently purchased by a holding company called Collective Brands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
