They still have me thinking. I read up about the hurting of the heels and the fact that jeans mess them up.
Is all of this true? Can I escape the heel business by buying one size larger? And what about the jeans?

One size larger and it'll wear more.
Just break 'em in good and proper.
You can get round the jeans thing with some tape on the inside of the jeans.

aww man that sounds like a lot of work.
Just like expensive shoes, I wear expensive jeans.
How much do the shoes actually wear with jeans touching them?

Its progressive, as jeans bleed at different rates. For example My Sheema 2s by N**E are now gren all over the ankle but white suede pumas are just a bit blue at the top. So i reckon it varies from shoe to shoe and jean to jean.

hmm, well I have a pair of 35th shoes and the jeans don't seem to be doing anything to them. They're white, too. Maybe my jeans are soft? Maybe underworlds are more easily damage-able?
I wish I could see them before I buy them. But based on what I've read, it's one wicked model.

Usually stufdf only bleeds on suede when its raining.

Good to know.
And here I was thinking that any jean contact would invaribly ruin my poor future-to-be underworlds.

The Underworlds are easy to keep clean as long as you keep an eye on them.
I recommend giving them a wipe each night when you take them off with.
If you see some denim bleed then try to give them a wipe as soon as.

Yeah, I'm pretty anal about my shoes. I wipe them as soon as I see any blemishes.

If you don't wear raw denim then you should be ok

Mine are nicely denim stained at the back of the heel.
Weren't you worried about not being able to see the text? If so then the denim staining makes it that much easier to read!!!!!
-
bsharp7 - 15-10-06
hmm. Are the shoes worth getting then?
-
woody - 15-10-06
Worth getting? In what way?
I don't get it.
If you like them then buy them if you don't then don't.
Personally, I and most others, think Underworlds are one of the best not just out of the 35th range but one of the best colourways to come out in years.

Totally agree - they are by far my favorite pair of trainers i own, even ahead of my beloved (but trashed) super ape stars.
Mine are unfortunately denim stained
& they still rip my achilies to shreds (sorted with 2 pairs of totes & blister plasters) but it's all worth it - they rock like no other & to see peeps staring when they've obviously reflected or "lit up" is great!
Love 'em
