can anyone convince me to not want to buy geobaskets? ever since i first saw them i've been obsessed and can't get over them - i don't have the money to get them though at all so it's an unhealthy obsession - especially since they don't match my style in the slightest.

Can anyone convince me that they're shit and I'm an idiot?

I bought a pair of the f/w13 geos last week and I've worn them everyday so far, must have done about 20 miles in them going down dusty tracks through woods and all over the place, they are by fair the best pair of trainers I've ever owned, the rubber is already a little offwhite from all the dust and mud and the leather is quite creased but the sole is completely unworn, the rubber feels really strong like it will last years.

I've bought expensive footwear before, got a pair of Guidi backzips and other designer boots and shoes, I always have the feeling of regret when I buy them and only feel better after wearing them a few times, not with the geos, straight out of the box I loved them and I had quite a few reservations about buying them due to this and other forums saying how bad they looked irl. Totally untrue.

Been wearing them laceless today, comfy as fuck.

tl:dr if you have the wardrobe for them go for it.

You do realize geobaskets have been selling out pretty much since they were first put in production? Both the old model and the new, chances are you just didn't know about Rick until fairly recently and now "see them everywhere".
