Can someone tell me what is wrong with these and what type of shoes should now be wearing ?

362231 2005-06-08 23:38:00 not a lot is wrong with boat shoes... only thing I can think of, it the laces... they're a bit of a pain. dave_net_nz (8284)
362232 2005-06-09 00:30:00 Boat shoes used to be fashionable sometime in the late '40's. Now, they are worn mostly by aging homosexuals. vinref (6194)

362234 2005-06-09 01:33:00 According to this guy (lineofcontempt.blogspot.com), they are ugly ?!?!?
"Ok, enough. Boat shoes must be stopped. NOW. People, I can't express just how ugly these shoes are. Most fashion faux pas have their brief moment in the sun, but eventually end up being retired to Savers. Hammer pants, light-up LA Gears, and Hyper-colour t-shirts all went away after a few painful years, but Boat Shoes have been around for about thirty years, and the ****ers are still going strong. Why? Why, God, why? Even fashion-retards generally learn from their fashion mistakes and eventually move on to new fashion mistakes, but some men seem to obliviously wear Boat Shoes their entire adult life. Why doesn't someone tell them? Why doesn't someone say, "Sorry mate, but I feel after ten years I've gotta say this - those are the ****ing ugliest shoes ever. They make you look like a total prat. I'm not sure we can remain mates if you keep wearing them." Friends don't let friends wear Boat Shoes.

And then there are the ones with TASSELS, like the shoes weren't ugly enough already. Tassels are for stripper's tits, not footwear. In fact, I'd rather wear stripper's tits on my feet than Boat Shoes. I bet even the cows who are slaughtered to make boat shoes are embarrassed. The other cows up in cow heaven are probably like, "Dude, I was only killed to be mixed up with rat meat in McDonald's burgers, but even I think you're a total joke. Boat Shoes are ****ing ugly."

Seriously. Why can't people see how insanely ugly Boat Shoes are? Why won't they just DIE?"What is a fashionable replacement for a casual shoe ?!?!? - Bright sneakers ?!? - Hiking shoes ?!?!? - there is not much in stores except these or Black business shoes.

362236 2005-06-09 03:35:00 Bollocks. That idiot obviously doesn't know the awesome comfort of well-worn in boat shoes. Don't need socks. Get them soaking wet and they just get comfier. Who gives a damn if they aren't fashionable. Bet that fashion slave wears his jeans halfway down his butt with his expensive underwear on display, while sporting an American basketball shirt, sideburns, and a trucker cap that makes him look like an idiot, only he doesn't know it yet. That guy wouldn't know an Alpha male if one burped in his face and then smacked him down.

362237 2005-06-09 03:38:00 This started because "Paul Henry" said on breakfast "Who wears boat shoes ..." it then flicked to Peter Williams who denied wearing them. KiwiTT_NZ (233)
362238 2005-06-09 03:48:00 I've never taken fashion tips from preening breakfast TV hosts. Won't start now. I don't trust em to deliver accurate news. Sure as heck aren't going to trust them to dress me. Biggles (121)
362239 2005-06-09 04:03:00 LOL ... I'll keep wearing mine then. KiwiTT_NZ (233)
