[Guest nyctaipei]

what kind of shoes do you wear to nightclubs, trendy places, expensive restaurants, etc?

pictures if applicable

I'm looking for nice shoes, something casual to wear to nightclubs.

This isn't too stylish but simple and I like it, what you guys think:

what's your pricerange?

do not buy those kenneth cole shoes. in fact, you should pretty much avoid kenneth cole altogether.

[mickawes]

Cheap Aldos that look ok but are really uncomfortable. The clubs I go to arent the most fashion forward. Everytime I go out, some pikey kid with square toe loafers and slicked back hair will spill his snakebite on me, so theres no incentive at all to wear any shoes I care about not getting stained, chipped, scuffed, or sticky.

Invest on these: http://couture.zappos.com/n/p/dp/19968495/c/5291.html

swears, chucks, or leather slip-ons.

[werdtoyourmoms]

don't change your look for a club. if you have to, the club probably sucks and you should go somewhere else.

yes, and these are the types of places you should be avoiding, unless you're into overpriced drinks and repetitive house music.

but if you are, i'd second the suggestion to grab a pair of Aldo shoes.

[verb]

I have a cheap pair of Lumiani laceups that I wear on occasion, or my white Jack Purcells look pretty classy w/ a black skinny suit.

[viv1984viv]

to be honest dont change your look to much for a club, just make sure your outfit looks cool, some slip on driving shoes with jeans will look casual but smart with a shirt. For some reason I allways think if the shoes get too smart or shiny the outfit feels odd without a jacket.

[outline]

Kenneth Cole? I really feel for you mate.

Neil Barrett. N.D.C. Jil Sanders you can find good deals on ebay sometimes.

got those for $200 on ebay. they $410 in Barneys. they look very expensive. hand made in Belgium

Cuz he wants to get some puuuuunaniiii! You cant bag a sugar momma wearing 3 bears dunks if the competition is all sporting Gucci loafers and pointy leather ankle highs with tiny silver eagle emblems on them.

really, here the uniform of choice is to go euro-thrashy. no one wears shoes. the only clubs where you have to wear shoes are bad hip-hop clubs...

just go to aldo and get something like others suggested, or get some clark's

[isdenn]

it very much depends on what the club is and how many girls you have with you. bring enough hot girls in and/or buy enough bottles and you can wear a grey sweatsuit and jesus sandals out to clubs if you want.

personally my guidelines are 1/ looks decent (doesn't have to be some amazing shit, no one cares about/is looking at your shoes inside the club...and see the golden rule re: girls above); 2/ they have to be comfortable; 3/ i dont care if i get home and they're a different color (or colors) from having shit spilled on them.

[xcoldricex]

dunks whaaaaaaaaat

[shagnscoob]

I think the best idea so far was swears.

Will the clubs that make you wear "shoes" allow leather sneakers for example leather slip ons or leather jack purcells? Otherwise I'd be at a loss too. Swears or Leather sneaks all the way =/

Generally I probably wouldnt be going to clubs like that anyhow.

[Guest Montreal]

Suprisingly enough, I often wear my Vans and get away with it.

same here. although i would like to get a pair of sperry topsiders to get my grown man on. if i could afford visvim i would buy some.

[alm8319]

the best feeling was when i stopped worrying about what i was wearing when i went out at night. anywhere you need to get dressed up for isnt worth going to.

[notesee]

What kinda Vans? I'm not one to go to places where I can't get in if I can't wear sneakers, but I'm still curious.

Do not buy any of the shoes posted on the last page. Not the Kenneth Coles, especially, but also don't waste $600 on those tacky Costume Nationals or even $200 on whatever those ones the guy got at Barneys were.

First off, avoid square-toed shoes. Just do it. While I'm sure there are some decent ones out there (maybe, there are far 10 billion others that are just hideous and from the Kenneth Cole's you linked I doubt you'll be able to tell the difference.

Secondly, something that can take abuse should probably just be something cheap more than anything else.

Here's the cheapest, cleanest looking ones I could find in about 5 minutes:

My humble suggestion.

IMO the quality on Bostonians leather is crap. better to get some allen edmonds off ebay if you're looking for that simple classy shoe.

[Servo2000]

I agree. If you're willing to work for it, get some Edmond's off of eBay (this is how I get a majority of my "dressier" shoes), I only suggested Zappos as that's where your original shoes came from. The trick is to get them cheap enough, again, that it won't really "matter" so much if they get more or less trashed.

[Arethusa]

I think you just came up for the first legitimate use of Bostonians ever that did not involve a bonfire.

[djrajio]

Nobody cares about your shoes in the club. Like the above posters, bring hot girls or be seen with hot women. I rock alfredo bannisters because they are cheap, stylish, and if they get scratched or scuffed, I couldn't care less...don't wear fancy shit to a club. You'll just get sweaty, hot, or have some drunk girl spill her cosmo on it...plus you'll smell like cigs and alcohol the next morning.

Whenever I get this smell on mw raw denim it smells like shit for two days or so, and then it actually smells sort of nice, for some reason. Like this bizarre cinnamony-smoky sort of smell. Could just be me.

Another interesting thing to do is to go to a bonfire where people are burning pine. My jeans smelled awesome for like a week. People did start to suspect that I may not have been washing my clothes, however...

really? but was that firey smokey smell that noticeable? I cant stand the way i smell after a night next to the bonfire. i cant stand that smell. I do like pine smell though. Maybe it smells different on denim.

As far as what to wear at a club the people here in San Diego pretty much all look and dress exactly the same at the clubs. Spikey messy gel'ed hair, the long sleave button up shirt with some vertical lines and maybe a design on it, maybe a sport jacket (half the time) some true religion or sevens jeans (majority of the time its true religion). and some super funky shoes from the future.

This is about 70% of the males at the clubs. Was out last night and it looked like that just like every other night.
