    Velcro shoes are the best type of shoes out there!!!

    Does anyone remember "zip-n-go" shoes? They had a zipper on the sides of the shoes.

    Default The real story!

    Ok when I was younger thats all we got were unnamed brand shoes. I wore those type of shoes all the way until I was 13 or 14. That was the time I started working full time and was able to afford to buy my own clothes and everything. Yes there are some stuff that I dont mind that arent name brand. For instance I don't have any "Sean John" wear. I would prefer a good pair of Levi's rather than some "Seven Jeans!" Regardless after I was able to produce money for myself, and have money to support my mom growing up, I told myself I would never wear any off brand shoe. When it comes to shoes they have to be brand name,I don't wear Jordans or any high dollar shoes like that I agree they do make a good fishing shoe, I would rather wear my old Nike's.

    Maybe I am the "material girl," which was funny by the way, but it all seriousness I would have taken a pair of Converse Chucks or some inexpensive Reeboks.

    Last of all if someone has known someone for over 13 years and knows that they have never, ever worn a pair on non-branded shoe, why would they make a big deal about not wearing them.

    Well with that said.. Anyone wear a size 9 1/2 shoe.. I got a new pair you can have. It would be for someone that is not materialistic

    I get my shoes from Walmart and Payless and I'm proud of it!
    (yet for some reason they are still name branded? or walmart brand or something but signature skater shoes. )
    I'll even wear white now days but not out fishing.

    To think I used to go through a pair of $90-$120 shoes in 3 weeks on a skateboard as a youngin' is ridiculous!

    The style of the shoes in question is like "basketballish" or "running shoes" though. I would have picked a different style but if I got them free I'd suck it up and sport them fishing!

    Can they not be returned?

    I will more likely not return them. Honestly I may use them for fishing or around the house type of shoe.

    The best mass produced shoes and boots in the world are ECCOs, at just over $200. Unless you know what you are looking at, or can somehow undo the laces, you'll never know what brand they are. They're unmarked. They're adult shoes.
