jeans getting trodden on underneath.

[witts]

when i wear my vans off the walls the back of my cuff slips underneath the shoe so its gets trodden on when i work. this is hella annoying and will fuck up the bottom of my RR's, other than wear a different pair of jeans like my slim jims what can i do?

starch the bottoms of your jeans when you're wearing a bulkier shoe.

[witts]

how will that help? wouldnt they still end up slipping underneath?

I get this problem too, so I just avoid wearing my RR's when I wear my Vans. I usually put on slimmer fitting jeans with a smaller leg opening when I wear Vans.

[witts]

yeah thats what i normally do but i hate wearing my slim jims to work. cause i cant run in them. i like to run at work.

i guess i'm assuming the jeans are somewhat stacked near the bottom hem... if you starch them and set those wrinkles in when you're wearing a bigger shoe, the stiffness of the starch will keep the jeans from falling down under your heels when you wear a slip on.

this make sense? you're effectively shortening your jeans.

yeah w/the era's especially i'll usually just wear them w/slimmer or more tapered jeans or cords which they tend to look better w/anyway...

[thomas_highstreet]

tuck em in your socks

rofl witts

fashion changes, style remains

[johninger]

if you are worried cuff them or get a large elastic band and put it around the bottom.

If you get the right diameter you can't tell its there.

Well excuse me! Excuse me...

[mlproject]

starch 'em.

i wear slimmer jeans, but i always buy them, starch them until they'll stand up by themselves then wear them. i'll periodically starch the cuffs, thighs and behind the knee. i think this accellerates wear on the edges with the stiffer fabric rubbing rather than normal.

rock the foldover tapered cuff. 80s style. its making a comeback.

Cuff that shit, thats what I do and my jeans never get trodden on underneath my shoe.

First of all, what the hell are Vans "off the wall? Doesn't that just refer to the outsole?

Secondly, bootcut jeans are for girls. Get some proper jeans and you won't havet to worry about anything.

No, they're bootcut, but only slightly.

No, I am pretty sure "off the wall" is their slogan expressing the fact that Vans is "different," part of the original "teenage rebellion" that early skateboarding exemplified.........

[canice]

i'm pretty sure it's a reference to a wall ride.

witts just let your cuffs slide. raw denim doesn't need to be taken care of.

[Ted DiBiase]

saying "off the wall" shoes is reffering to all the vans shoes that have the traditional vulcanized rubber sole.

Half cab, Chukka, Slip on, oldskool, sk8 hi, era, authentic, etc....

since all share the same outsole, all would have the same problem with those jeans. its faster to write "off the wall's" then list all those shoes.

at least im assuming thats what he meant.

i used to have this same thing happen. there is only 1 solution. narrower jeans. no bootcuts. for regular fitting straight legs starch the bottoms and "crumple" them so they dry hard like an accordian. i dunno if that makes sense. the wrinkles stay in place.

dumbest.

thread deterioration.

ever.

in the english language, the phrase "pretty much" can function as a slight modifier; i.e. the RR is a bootcut with such a slight increase in diameter from knee to hem that's it's "pretty much" a straight leg... jesus h. christ this is stupid - if you don't understand idiomatic expression in the english language, maybe you shouldn't comment on it?

witts, i stand by my original suggestion (confirmed by mlproject and ted di biase). if you want to wear your RRs with slip ons, starch the fuck out of the jeans from the ankle to the hem so they crumple and stay that way...

i'm pretty sure they've bene using that slogan since before wall rides existed

[sean_]

just fold them under.. i was having the same problem with my rrs and slip ons.. but i rolled the cuffs inside, theyre long enough that it doesnt look retarded, and they dont get all stepped on

this is my signature
