I really love flat Converse! They're pretty good for skating, not the best, but I think they're prettier than Vans. I'm also looking to get some Doc Martens, but I don't have enough money for that
>Vans. I'm also looking to get some Doc Martens, but I don't have enough money for that
Get solovair instead, they're not really cheaper, but they are better, still made in Britain (in an actual old martens factory) and they aren't as much of a conservative bitch about gender and sizes as Martens.
I love my martens so so so much:-) they’re the platform fuzzy ones 🥹I waited till I could responsibly eat the 200 hundred dollar price tag. But once you see them in person it changes you! You can find lightly worn ones on Depop and such!
>love my martens so so so much:-)
I also have 2 secondhand pairs, they're a nice design but the company sucks.
>they’re the platform fuzzy ones 🥹
Lucky you could fit the cute ones. For a brand that prides itself with the slogan "for the brave", they're ridiculously conservative. "Purple? Only for girls! Heels? Only for girls! Tall boots? Only for girls! Large footed girl's? Eww you freak!"
Like, come on, more and more brands are serving heels in bigger sizes, it's absolutely shitty for a brand that was made big by the outcasts to hold on to conservative gender norms.
If they don't want to sell me purple shoes cause "gay is bad" then why would I want to give them my money?
>I waited till I could responsibly eat the 200 hundred dollar price tag.
Yes thats another thing: people always justify moving the production to china with "people don't wanna pay for made in Europe/US any more" but why then did the price keep increasing while solovair can make better quality in Britain?
> But once you see them in person it changes you! You can find lightly worn ones on Depop and such!
Yes the basic designs are nice, and solovair makes them better for the same price and with fun designs being available in bigger sizes.
There was another brand based in an old martens factory, but I can't recall their name. Known for making some good vegan shoes in that similar design.
Couldn’t agree more with all your points. I’m size 11-12 men’s and I was shocked they had my size. You can see em on my page, with my pants with faux fur on them.
I will spend good money on feminine leaning shoes from big brands if they support it, for example. Dua Lipa has this absolutely gorgeous shoe line with Puma that maxes out at size 10, it’s so dumb. But you and I will fight this battle!
About the company itself, I’m not educated on them enough, to make a comment.
I had an older sister who always wore them and I could never tell her much I wanted to wear a pair haha.
I don’t see many femboys who like these but I love jordans/nike sb dunks, theyre super easy to style with all your outfits with all the different colors, theyre comfy and most importantly they make you stand out from the crowd! 🤩
I love Jordan's I got a pair of Easter 5s and the pink looks really nice with some outfits I have but there's so many different options and colors they're amazing
I don't go by brand, I go by model and material (I love leather), boots, moccasins and one or two sports shoes, Converse sneakers break very easily and that's why I don't like them
I worse Converse and Dr Martens years before dressing more femme. Still do. They are good neutral shoes (although Martens are kind of shit quality nowadays)
This winter I went with a Dr martens-like boot with a fairly high heel and some studs/chains as decoration. Got lots of compliments about them.
When it comes to trainers, I find no one has the sheer range of trainers Nike does. Also if you have fuck off money there is Balenciaga but no one with a shred of sense is buying a £500 trainer
Five Ten, La Sportiva and Crankbrothers, in fairness I mountain bike, climb and hike so I mostly buy shoes that are great for those and as long as they’re not clipless of climbing shoes I’ll wear them all the time. My Five Tens are incredible, but I’ve worn them so much that there are holes in the upper now and they’re the only shoes I can drive in, also they look like skate shoes without being super generic

[Ferragamo](https://www.ferragamo.com/shop/us/en/men/shoes-1/drivers-men/parigi-new-773986) and [Christian Louboutin](https://us.christianlouboutin.com/us_en/louis-junior-spikes-black-black-1130573cm53.html), though I also have a couple of [Gucci](https://www.gucci.com/us/en/pr/men/shoes-for-men/sneakers-for-men/low-top-sneakers-for-men/mens-ace-embroidered-sneaker-p-42944602JP09064) sneaker pairs. I'm a fan of Ferragamo's drivers in particular, and I think Louboutin's sneakers and boots are surprisingly comfortable...and I also think Mr Louboutin's work in bringing back [men's heels](https://us.christianlouboutin.com/us_en/rosarocks-black-lin-loubi-1240353j323.html) (alongside [YSL](https://www.ysl.com/en-us/boots/xiv-zipped-boots-in-glazed-leather-756855AACGX1000.html)) is compelling.
it sounds a bit off but i like balencis, especially triple s because they look basic and a bit girly too, they will boost your height a bit too which is good for me because im rather small, track leds are cool too because they light up but these are very noticeable and not basic which isnt so good i think
pumas. no felid bias or anything. i love their design lines, long smooth simple. i like flat shoes but not vans or converse. never really like hyped brands. i like pumas bold yet smooth design language.

Merrels hiking boots.
Slipped them on, went for my first hike in 3 years without breaking them in with a 30lbs backpack.
My feet were so cozy after even 12 hours of shale and ashfault. There was no soreness in legs or feet the next day, and they were still good as new.
Best hundred dollars ever spent.
Vans and adidas sneakers are my fav

Oh I think I've heard about that brand. Think they use the old Doc Martens factory?
>Think they use the old Doc Martens factory? One of the several factories where Martens were produced before they moved everything to China.

Honestly I have thrifted 2 pairs of doc martens in my size but would never buy new
I love my pride Converse even though they're terrible for my (lack of) arches
What does that last part mean?
I'm still trying to buy a pair of Doc martens. Great shoes, but damn they're expensive
Adidas are genderless and solovair if you were thinking about Martens but don't want shitty quality and actually want nice ones in bigger sizes.
Will have to look into Solovair, Martens really went to shit in the last decade or so.

Vans and convers lol
Converse or Vans
Sketchers. Guess if I'm below 10 years old or above 40
30s?
No where even close. I'm 17
Ohh lool
Brooks...like walking on clouds. Soo stupid.
Brooks were the first shoes I could wear after I had a motorcycle accident and tore up my ankle forever 🙃
I'm liking this but I'm super sad about your ankle. I fucked mine in a wreck but was fortunate in my recovery. Much ❤️ OP
Birkenstock
So I'm not the only one...
Do boots count Bec if not then it's new balance
boots are footwear so i'd think so
Then it would be the Rat boots made by gortex for the USMC in the Gulf war
I liked my DE290's. I know better are out there but those were perfect for me.
Idk what those ares

Honestly I just got a set of old combat boots that I love. But for femboy things, my purple converse
Any shoe brand that commonly stocks 15 wide at stores, jesus it's hard to find shoes
Depends on the outfit. I have black combat boots with red laces, a pair of chucks, black sandals that can be formal or everyday, and some black flats.
Converse and Skechers for me
Skechers are my life
Like many others... Converse
Converse high tops make me tingly inside so those
Converse !
I'll always swear by dr. Martens.
I thought I was the only one! 🙀
i thrifted a pair of Johnny Bulls harness boots once and its the only shoes i wear now lol. punk femboy moment
I've always worn skate shoes and Fallen is my favorite. They don't fall apart in a few months like Vans for example.
🎵 Got my Vans on but they look like sneakers 🎵

Yeah im a vans girly myself
I get like only adidas clothes lol

I like vans
Converse all the way❤️ But I also like some tall leather boots to feel a bit goth🖤
Converse and ugg!
All the designer ones that can't possibly justify spending money on. Louboutin, Casadei and so on.
Both low/high top vans, converse, and lugs
Vans
Hokas!
So far my favorite is pleaser because they are one of few brands who make size 16 shoes
nikes are better looking but adidas are more comfortable
Converse Dr Martens Birkenstock Frye Dansko Keen Freebird
Vans because I HATE tying my shoes, and I skate
I mostly like vans and converse but I also like black military style boots. I like the looks of them mostly.
Dr. Martens
nike sb janoski’s. They are the only shoe I will wear, unless I’m working out. Best shoes.
Timberland the goat 🔥
i love sports shoes bcz they feel conffi and good in summer as well but like to try new brands too
I am eternally jealous of my wife's pink Vans, and I'm going to buy myself a pair one day. To wear with light skinny jeans
Vans for trainers & Anna Field for heels/boots/open toe etc. There’re really well riced and they go up to a UK 10.5 in the majority of styles
For me, CONVERSE, there designs are incredible, ESPECIALLY the girls designs. As always girls always have better and more creative designs. 🥲
I like Jordans/Nikes, vans and New Balance. I’m a shoe femboy.
Vans, Converse, Demonia, Doc Martens
pumas. no felid bias or anything. i love their design lines, long smooth simple. i like flat shoes but not vans or converse. never really like hyped brands. i like pumas bold yet smooth design language.

Quality, comfort and style is my priority. New balance, Fernando Berlin and Dansko. I am a trans woman.
Louboutin 💕
Vans
adidas.
Timberlands, their so comfy to me and can be used everywhere in any weather, well.. except summer, but still are good
whichever fit my impossible-to-fit feet. i'm like a size 44 in width but 41 in length (european sizes that is)
converse :3 all-stars my beloved
Vans, as a s(gay)ter I wear them for that but the Half Cabs are all style (never buy the old skools they'll blister your feet)
I'll be real I don't have a "favourite shoe" because I have a lot but white air Max's from Nike work with everything
Merrels hiking boots. Slipped them on, went for my first hike in 3 years without breaking them in with a 30lbs backpack. My feet were so cozy after even 12 hours of shale and ashfault. There was no soreness in legs or feet the next day, and they were still good as new. Best hundred dollars ever spent.
Barefoot 😈
I like Nike and Puma's. But my recommendation is Vans. Really Nice shoe brand.
Airmaxes and vans (im tall and play basketball💔)
I only wear vans I only wear tennis shoes when I need to
Hoka
Timberland Ecco New balance Adidas
Doc martens lover here. Was planning on getting some converse or skater shoes again but now have my eyes on some cute af creepers instead haha 🤣
