Just for casual wearing. You know, with jeans and such.

I can get them at 20% discount.

    I think they're pretty boss.

    Pun aside, I think they're cool. Would go well with jeans.

    Eh.

    The lacquer finish striping that you can see when you look at the side shot is pretty awful.

    Not really feeling it...

    Though, I'm a bit bias against Boss cause they're overpriced mediocre stuff.

    But, even without that bias I'm not really feeling it.

    They look like bowling shoes, I would not wear them personally.

    However. Question for you: Why do you care what we think? Style is a personal thing. If you like it, wear it. If these suit you, in your opinion, get 'em!

    They're pretty awful. Way too busy and trying way too hard.

    Maybe look at some Onitsuka Tigers? Same site.

    I guess they're alright, if a bit unremarkable.

    edit: didn't see the price. Even at 25% off, I would not get those.

    I would buy them if they were $40 or less. That price is simply ridiculous.

    If you like shoes that look similar, you should look at skate shoe companies. You'll find a ton of similar designs for much better prices:

    Those Boss just don't look that good. If you want them for the brand label go for it, but there are so many better looking shoes on Zappos.

    Honestly if you want designer-ish shoes for a cheap price I would check out DSW. They have a pretty good selection of shoes at a pretty good price. Plus their clearence section can hide some cheap gems.

    Dude, if you're looking to impress, look no further than these bad boys:
    weird_shoe10.jpg

    But seriously, i wouldn't wear them. however, i have no idea what you look like, what you wear, etc.

    Ultimately, i you like them, buy them.

    I ate the entire cake. At one point, I remember becoming aware of the oppressive fullness building inside of me, but I kept eating out of a combination of spite and stubbornness. No one could tell me not to eat an entire cake - not my mom, not Santa, not God - no one. I would eat cake whenever I damn well pleased. It was my cake and everyone else could go fuck themselves.

    They're cool, but not 100 bucks cool. Go to DSW and find some killer kicks (hahaha, kicks) for about half the price of the already reduced shoes in the OP.

    This is usually the first or second thing women notice. Most men don't usually dress fashionably to impress other men.

    I'd think most men who are largely concerned about about how their shoes look (as opposed to how comfortable they are or how much they cost) probably do care what other men think of their shoes, possibly moreso than what women think.


    I think these ones are pretty odd looking and distracting, and not in a good way.

    I think they look OK but very bland. Maybe because they're popular at the moment (here in Holland at least)

    I guess 100$ is a pretty good price for brand shoes (here in Holland at least). The big question is if you like them.

    Also: shoes are the first thing I look at with both men and women. They tell me a lot about what they like to dress like (folks tend to put on the same shoes with all kinds of outfits) and the state of the shoes tell me how important they think looking well-groomed is.

    Well that's OK, I imagine all Northern Americans wear white Nikes under bright blue jeans and smell of grease.

    Also, weather permitting I'm wearing classic chequered Vans.

    I meant, they look like something that a lot of the European guys I've met here in the states wear. It wasn't a speculative idea, it's what I've seen.

    It's a quote from one of the best films of all time and it makes perfect sense in the context of the movie.

    yeah, it really comes down to one's sense of style
    and while I wouldn't wear those shoes, I'm sure there are people who could carry off the look
    I'd say, if you're not sure you're going to like them then don't risk that much money
    only buy them if you're confident you can rock them
