just spent way too long looking at the origins of that there shoe design. its basically a laceless oxford. dates back to the late 1800s. also known as the balmoral or granny slippers. ---

I don’t see how they’re boring if we’re comparing them to the Last Resort shoes. The Emerica shoes have more going on in the right places, and a decent insole! I checked out those Last Resort shoes last time I was in Decimal, definite hard pass from me. Sorry @nedertron, I know you’re going to read this and hate me for it. ---

I do love Sole Tech, I’m not going to deny it. I’m a 30 year old dad who requires a good cupsole following a vulc filled youth, they’re right up my street. ---

Only passing on what Dylan’s sister posted. Shoe chat in the shoe thread. You can’t really copyright shoes anyway, so anybody can make whatever they like. ---

I really want to like Last Resort, but in all honesty I can’t help but feel a little let down. The logo and imagery around the footwear is great - but I saw the shoes as samples about 6 months ago and just felt like they were bringing nothing new to the table. Theres a Cons “inspired” shoe and a Vans “inspired” shoe. Where is their point of difference? I expected more from Pontus, tbh.
