I know I literally just called the Tretorns new summer standards, but since you're going to be pushing around on a zinger, may as well wear the appropriate footwear and look the part. I spotted these over at Bows&Arrows(and aside from Vans, they stock a really respectable inventory of kicks) and now, I'm gonna have to make it over to Telegraph Ave. when next I'm in the Bay area. Loving the Vault chukka Sierras. 
I hope you take the time to report back on how these hold up. I bought a pair of Tretorn hightops in black last year. Thought I'd found heaven, but after repeated wearings: they just have not held up. Fell apart faster than any pair of shoes I've ever owned. (I tend to keep shoes forever too.) First the the edging on the souls started coming off and I could see little tuffs of the the inside lining. I was annoyed but still kept wearing them. Then I noticed that they were at all good in the rain, which is when I realized the souls themselves at split in two; right down the middle. This was after a year of less than daily wearing. For a company that is known for tough boots, I'm not sure their ownership by Puma has done anything for their quality control. Reluctant to ever buy another pair. So would like to know what happens with yours.
ReplyDeleteNice! I think I spotted these in a store near union sq. I'll have to go check em out.

ReplyDeleteI don't think the Gonz would give a fuck about "looking the part."
