Rick Owens Trainers

[fadetogrey]

Can anyone help me locate a pair in a small size? I'm a 38. I understand that these were made in womens sizes, but the only info I can find is that Paris Texas stocked a black cut-out womens version at some point (?). Basically I'll settle with any colour other than milk (can't do all white) I don't care if they're used or new. I have a seller on ebay trying to convince me that I can fit into a 40, but I think that's waay too big. Help?

there is a pair at assin (australia) in size 39.. but you might have to pay more than retail?

Anyone know a place in London Town that can do the magic of The Firm Shoe Repair?

Speaking of which - on the inner part of my sneakers one of the back panels that's sewn shut to keep the 'padding' blew almost completely off. Don't think I can or should wear them until I get them fixed - does anyone know if I could ship them to the place where people are having their repairs done in New York to have the repairs done / and Sphoxx's inserts put in? I don't know if there's anywhere around here that can do it.

I believe this just happened to mine as well. We're talking the upper part of the back panel, right? Mine just cracked while pulling them on as usual, the nasty part is that it looks like the leather is damaged. Luckily it's just a smaller segment of the patch on mine. Need to find a good cobbler for this, one who can repair the heels as well.

Thanks crz! Ouch on the price though (especially after converting it into $CAD)

In my milk trainers it's the slightly greyer, thinner softer leather that's torn off the usual milk - it's the part that actually touches the heel and sort of pads the back of the shoes. It looks like the sewing has just torn but clearly the leather is somewhat damaged. It tore from the base to the top-center where it changes to a different seam for the other side so they're essentially unwearable now. Super bummed.

Bought a pair of black on black leather trainers - best pair of shoes I own. Still afraid to wear them out and about a ton as not to beat them up.

And not to hi-jack the thread, but anyone want to sell a pair of brown and white used ones in a size 43-44?

/\ You are actually afraid of makin' them look better, which they do if u beat 'em hella up imo and like most of the population of szg..

[ddohnggo]

not a problem. dude's got a hard-on for oven.

If I had two pairs then I wouldn't worry as much about trashing the other. Like to keep my shoes from wearing out too fast.

They're fuckin' sneakers. What are you saving them for, prom?

[drkshdw]

Yes they are sneakers, $1200 sneakers. IMO it's not like an average pair of sneakers. I'm not going to think the same about a pair of sneakers I picked up in a thrift store versus a brand new pair I paid $$$ for. I like to take care of what I have.

[Jonn]

to folks here they are just another pair of disposable sneakers

[Vikeid]

yeh, but if you paid 1k for a pair of sneakers you can at least use them?

or you can just get a rubber sole thrown on and be good to go.
