Well there are tons of idiots everywhere. But i noticed back in high school that working out improved my brain function, I became much much sharper. Yeah it's not a life changing experience thing, but being strong is useful and fun.

[Anonymous No.14266830]

>>14266809
for me /fa/ was pretty useful because i live in a very small town so literally everything clothing related i know is from the internet. i dont follow trends or dress fashionable but i like clothes. everything i know about brands, retailers, sales, etc. i know it from the internet.
/fit/ is retarded, half of it is bro-science, its too personal which kills the entire point of anonymous discussion, its the same people making the exact same threads and spam the board

but to get back to my original point, lifting and /fit/ is retarded because you have to be an utter fucking retard beyond repair if you genuinely want to improve your life and ask a bunch of social outcasts on how to do so.

>>14266818
its literally every bodybuilding community on the internet. im not sure whether you remember bbmisc from early 2010s, that was probably the dumbest group of people ive seen in my life.
and again im not really saying that lifting is for retards, but rather that people who want to improve their life with lifting are retarded because they have fucked up priorities. 80% of /fit/ lives at home and dont have any hobbies, they just keep reposting that gosling shit all day.
its not lifting that makes you retarded, its thinking that lack of muscles is the biggest problem in your life.
then these people develop some god complex for putting weights up and down not realizing they are at the bottom of the barrel in almost every other aspects and the vast majority of people arent dumb, its their priorities that are fucked up

So there's no point in getting them if you're not an ig model

[Anonymous No.14269248]

if you can afford them and you like how they look, go for it. they're simple, well made, and versatile. there's really nothing bad to say about them. i don't think price is something you can really complain about either, considering that they go on sale all the time. you can usually find white achilles lows for ~$300 during end of season sales at most online stockists. i have a pair from 2014 that have seen some heavy wear, but i think i can get another 2 years or so out of these. amortize the price you pay over 5+ years; that's pretty good value. you'd probably go through 2-3 pairs of normal sneakers during the same time frame.

i have a pretty sizable shoe collection, but i still find myself opting to wear my white achilles lows more often than not. it's not that surprising given that they're convenient, comfortable, and clean. they're perfect for running quick errands or just stepping outside for a moment.

don't pay much attention to the people who hold excessively antagonistic views against common projects. the majority them are most likely one of the following:

a) poor, can't afford common projects
b) have never seen common projects in person
c) have scuffed shoe collections comprised of mostly adidas/nikes
d) all of the above

buy them used!!

so many people wear these a few times and post them for under 300. some pairs are in solid 8-8.5 condition for 200-250. lowball them around 175-200. clean the shoes, replace the insoles and you're mint.

shoes are gonna be worn anyways so might as well get a cheaper pair. they're also able to undergo resoling so longevity is no issue

They are pretty good. I think retail is a little much, but if you can get them 150 its a great deal. they is super comfy and overall I love wearing mine. Leather isn't as buttery smooth as CP but you are paying way way less.

[Anonymous No.14271469]

Mine are now 3 years old, and look close to new, though with some babying and only general city life usage. They have different last than Svenssons that also use magrom sole, and at least I prefer the CP last. Its not as roomy so they fit more snuggly which I like. CP silhouette is still GOAT.

Compared to stans smiths, the stans looked worse after like 10 times of wearing than what CPs look after 3 years. Ugly creasing etc. Svenssons have survived pretty well, but the brown leather under the white upper(?) is starting to peek through in the creases, which while not bad, are still worse than CPs.

Are they 300 shoes? Maybe not, but I kinda hate doing compromises on some things. I fell for the timeless white snekaers meme, that they have so far been too, so overall I'm pretty happy with them.
