[Manhattan]

Hello from New York,

I don't know what it is about these shoes, but something about them struck me the other day when I was with my friend at an Athletes Foot. I tried the shoe on and it didn't even properly fit since I have a wide foot. I went up a size, and then it became slightly too long. Determined to make the shoes work, I went online and purchased the half-size in between as a compromise in hopes of breaking into the proper width. Anyway, I can't wait until they arrive! I got the Superstar 80s: From The Adidas Website

I feel like they reflect a lot about New York with the Run-DMC connection and will never really go out of style. I hear they're very durable and (hopefully for me) comfortable so they could be the best shoe investment I've made.

The odd thing is that I don't think I have ever been this excited about a shoe before. I don't know what it is about these things, but the style is infective I guess.

Anyway, very cool forum here. Hope to learn a lot about these shoes.

I'll try to keep that search policy in mind, though it may not always be obvious to me what an obvious question may be.
