Attention all sneaker freaks

by Andy on October 23, 2006

I wouldn’t normally do this, but everyone’s best friend (google) isn’t helping me and I thought that you guys would probably know more about buying sneakers online than I do.

I’m trying to find a pair of Vans XL2′s (they might have Rowley and/or Slims in the name) in navy, grey & white, in a UK size 10 or 11 (which is US size 11 or 12). I wouldn’t usually buy the same pair of shoes, but I really like these ones (my current pair are worn through to the foam, so I can’t wear them anywhere that might be damp) and they’re really comfortable too, and I have dodgy ankles so comfort is a major factor to me.

So if anyone knows where I find a pair that would be awesome. Also, if you want to enlighten me and suggest some sites that have some good sneakers on them, comment away.

*Aha! The reason why I can’t find them is because the XLIII version is out… These ones look pretty much like what I have now, but I’d still love to get some feedback about good online shoe stores*

How can I be Spiteful when I wake up next to the sea?

When I came out to France for this job my family moved out about a week before the rest of the workers (because me and my Dad had to drive the van down, and I wanted a couple of days relaxation in Marseille), so I told the guys that if any mail came for me then could they please bring it out with them on the plane (though it is illegal to carry someone else’s mail without declaring it), and when the lads arrived I was greeted with a few presents. A European health card, a motor insurance form, and…. a tee from Spitefuls!

Marla from Spitefuls (who is actually very pleasant) sent me over a little package (with hand-drawn graphics on the
envelope), containing a super fresh tee, which is so new it isn’t even for sale yet, and some pink/black buttons with the depressing phrases I’ve come to expect from Spitefuls.

The tees are printed onto AA (this one is a ringer tee, really shows off the guns!) and the printing feels nice and soft, and I get the feeling it will be pretty durable. There’s print on both sides of the tee (text front, image back), and I must say I’m impressed by both sides, she’s picked a cool cowboy-movie inspired font for the front, and kept it fairly simple on the back with the streams of rain running down onto the umbrella (with the logo incorporated into the clouds for a little bit of branding).

I guess I should disclose that Spitefuls is an advertiser with the site, but that didn’t effect this review (I promise!).

Costiness=$18 (presumably, since the rest of the tees are that price) URL
