... is this a real thought
like, why would you ever do that
it's the entire point of the shoe to look worn (unless you're just really fond of piss yellow or something??)
this actually reminds me of the dudes in the tech fleece thread who would buy their pants 2+ sizes up cause they were scared of the skinny/slim look (i.e. "oh man, what if people think i'm gay?!" or some other dumb s*** like that), even though it's the intended fit
like, if they didn't want skinny/slim sweats, then they could've just bought non-skinny/slim sweats
but then they wouldn't be wearing what's "cool" or "in" (god forbid!), so they couldn't be having any of that at all, no siree
