common projects are better, but those are alright

Thanks, that helped. So should I try painting my stan smiths? I was thinkng of doing something in the style of watercolor

daily reminder that many modern shoes fuck up your feet because of narrow toe boxes

>>9672103
The toes should be able to splay outwards, giving you grip and stability helping you balance.

>>9672103
What are you going to do? Not wear shoes? lmao
Also it doesn't exactly hurt or alter my life in any way.

>>9672105
Here is a foot of a person who has been barefoot their whole life. This is how our species has lived for millions of years and we have evolved with the natural system of walking without shoes.

>>9672103
i thought my feet were ugly and strange shaped because they're like the before pic

i guess it's cause i never wear shoes
yay for superior balance?

>>9672107
probably best to get something with a wide toe box. I think they have a newbalance model like that. Nike free is decent as well. The issue is more apparent if you have anything other than narrow feet.

>>9672115
a lot of women have the deformed foot shape because they wear heels and pointy toed shoes.

>>9672118
How much does newbalance pay you to advertise

>>9672123
dress shoes look ridiculous when compared with real feet shape.

>>9672127
I don't own them. I have nike frees but I have faced much frustration trying to find shoes that are comfortable and still look good. I had newbalance 420 for a while but they are a bit too narrow.

They're great for lifting

>>9672146
everyone says that
why do you need shoes for lifting though?

>>9671962
if youre being serious water colours will not work. acrylic is the only paint that will work. it will look shit though

>>9672151
Because gym floors are dirty

>>9672146
lol, barefoot is better. good luck wearing these comfortably without them fitting way too long or fucking up your toes otherwise.

>that tiny toe box

>>9672151
You can't really go to a gym barefoot unless you want to get kicked out intentionally

>>9672166
these are barefoot style shoes

>>9672182
There's really no point in spending over 50 dollars for workout sneakers m8

>>9672182
w2c pretty fly i dont even lift

>>9672157
Seriously, why are people incapable of making an attractive toe box that also has an anatomical shape?

>>9672197
VivoBarefoot. They're like $300, but they look very nice.

they look a bit ugly from top but that is because they are very functional

>>9672222
I wish I knew... I just want something that fits my foot well, it doesn't even need to be a barefoot style. The problem I have faced is that shoes like the converse try to be very symmetrical with their toe box at the expense of squishing your big toe.

IIRC Stan said in an interview that modern tennis shoes are more advanced and better for playing, but I play tennis in my Stans and I've never had any problems.
