what is everyone's preference? i found some nice nike shoes last year that i really liked, but they didn't polish up to my liking... i have bought some reebok "the refs" for this year that are patent leather..they are really comfortable, but really shiny... some say too shiny!

BBall_Junkie Tue Sep 28, 2004 02:08pm

Here we go with the patent leather shoe vs. the natural leather shoe debate again. "who wants to wear a plastic shoe?" "plastic doesn't breath!", "they shine better than any natural leather shoe.", "they are much more low maint.", "I would rather spend my time doing other things than shining shoes.", "no more money spent on shoe polish".

Ok, now that we got that out of the way... can someone tell me whether or not I should wear beltless pants or a pants with a belt! :D

Sorry, Jritchie, honest question on your part and being new to the board you probably don't know that these topics have been discussed ad nauseum (sp?) and I couldn't resist!

no apology necessary
 
i was just asking....but as for pants...beltless and definitely pleated...i didn't think pleated would be better, but now that i have worn them, i will never wear anything else...so much more comfortable and a lot more room..it's like your not even wearing any!! :)

Unfortunately, the "search" function has been disabled, so we'll have to continue discussing these subjects. Doesn't do any harm anyway.

Geeze.

No wonder the coaches keep staring at you guys.

Actually, I was kind of wondering the same thing. I'm thinking about buying some patent leather shoes but I was wondering if 1) they look too flashy, and 2) if your partner doesn't have patent leather, does it look weird?

A "T" for doing nothing?

I don't think so.

I have had patent leather shoe and will not wear them anymore. Your feet sweat and stink.

Dudly Tue Sep 28, 2004 03:46pm

Just spit shine your leathers and they'll look like the plastic ones and you won't sweat as much.

A few more posts and I'll catch up to the Jurassic one!

CLAY Tue Sep 28, 2004 03:52pm

Dudly,

Jurassic post just to hear himself. He has over 4,000 post. His computer is never off, even in the off season.
Jurassic, just poking fun at you

My God, man! What happened to the old Gunga Dan? The one that woulda sent Butch and Bruno up to Yuppieville, Mass. to have a little talk with El Chucko? You really gonna let the l'il guy get away with this? C'mon now, you know where he lives. Make believe he's Pedro and show him "who's your Daddy'.
