I need of some fake Sperry's.

Sign in to disble this ad
I found these rip-off sperrys for like $20. They're this style http://www.sperrytopsider.com/store/...tId=cat90046DM

But I'd much rather another pair in this style
http://www.sperrytopsider.com/store/...tId=cat90046DM

Anybody know where I can get a pair of these without paying the sperrys price?

Thanks

I can but you'd need a time machine to travel back to the 80s! Do you want a Member's Only jacket to go with those?

Maybe hit up a flea market or swap meet?

Hey Little Buddy! Ready for our three hour tour?

Wearing those will not bring your Dad's harmonicas back. Don't torture yourself.

I just bought some slip-ons very similar to the first pair, made by Bass, at Rugged Warehouse. They were heavily discounted, under $20 IIRC.

You'll feel better about yourself walking around in the real thing. How can you put a price on that?
However, your feet will not feel better. Not much in the way of arch support in those babies.

If you're going to be boating, cheap deck shoes could get you killed. Nothing sucks worse then cheap boat shoes on a wet deck. Sperrys' cost more but they stick.

I know a lot of kids rocking these. It's kinda in style? I guess.

I just got my first pair of converse last year so what do I know?

Yeah they're pretty hot now. But they're also accepted at my school which means I don't have to wear dress shoes. So I'd rather these.

As for no arch support, my favorite shoes are Converse Chucks and an old pair of diesel flat lookin shoes. IDK how else to describe em lmao

Yeah. Old enough to know I don't wanna look like a bunch of rehashed old trends cobbled together.

I roll in a pair of these. They really suck during the winter though due to the lack of traction. (they are skater shoes and therefore have no tread)

21.

But that sucks. Off the Wall's, Chucks, and these guys are some of the most comfortable day to day shoes I've worn. I wouldn't wear them hiking (except my chucks have been to 12,000 ft and back), but they are alright for just about everything else.
