i've always wanted to ask how it actualy feels to walk around in the dip sneakers. i imagine they would be pretty much as uncomfortable as a pair of shoes can get? i mean, how can you even stand straight withougt losing balance if the soles have down-pointing spikes each in completley different size/lengh? doesnt it feel kinda like constantly walking around with small rocks in your shoes? or do they actually follow some kind of pattern that forms a "flat surface"? please shed some light on this lost soul! the look is killer but they just dont seem that ergonomical.

I've never seen them completely worn down. I always was under the impression that people don't actually wear them - people just hung these up in the apartments like you would any other beautiful piece of artwork. I think this may be why the "soleless" versions were made.

Last time PNids and I hung out he was wearing the hell outta them. Haven't heard from anyone complaining about them not being comfortable. If anything, people say they're some of the most comfortable CCP footwear out there.

The actual 'drips' are very flexible and quite soft/springy, so they completely bend and wear down based on the owners weight and gait, where as the main 'body' of the latex sole is as durable and hard wearing as a standard sneakers rubber sole - when this eventually wears down (which i have yet to see on anybodys ccp dipped) you then have a proper leather sole that can be vibramed etc.

It actually feels like you are walking on soft cushions, and i have to say they are one of the most comfortable sneakers (but i should really say 'boot' as the construction/build is as sturdy and probably even more complex than a boot) that i own....

I spent a long time getting advice from friends here, and mulling over all the questions raised about longevity, comfort, construction, sizing , leather, style over substance, etc etc and after finally buckling and kopping the black kangaroo dipped, i can say that all my concerns were unfounded......

currently finding it hard to put anything else on my feet........

really?

[orphée]

^^ agreed. In fact, I found them so sneaker-like (bouncy, soft) that I resold them immediately.

C, I think it is only object dyed as it is quite uniform in construction and final product. The object tanning process is a bit unpredictable and this piece is very sharply constructed and all the seams are clean. I could be wrong but it looks just OD.

...

Some good shit!

oh yeah? well maybe he has just practiced the object tanning process to the point that the pieces no longer come out all wonky. thats what took him so long to produce the collection?

just kidding man. even though i deleted most of your post in the quote to save space, i love posts like that where i learn something new. thanks A! now i know how he gets the leather to look that way. and that its not sorcery.

thats a pretty inane thing to assume just because you haven't seen worn ones. most people don't post pictures of used shoes online just for the fun of it, so a majority of pictures are of brand new ones.

seenmy has worn the hell out of his, infact enough that he was able to peel all of the coating off. eton has worn his plenty, I lived 3 weeks in mine when I was travelling.

[Acid, Bitter and Sad]

Would love to see pics of the sneaks with the coating all peeled off...

how about the "sole-less" version?

[philip nod]

just a slab of ccps cryogenically frozen cum
can be vibramed with enough lead in time

[Faust]

Hello there, I guess I forgot to push the sarcasm button. Anyways, I was kidding and whether worn or on the wall those "sneakers" are a beautiful thing...
