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.

Will grab a pair of those last resorts later.
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 @neddy, I know you’re going to read this and hate me for it.
They’re brown and literally the most basic template of shoe.

It’s in the detail.
They’re nice.
I added to my non skate shoe collection this week.
I don’t smoke, I’m just high on life… and the shoes thread!

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.
