thing2jordan Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Are far as socks go, those are freaking sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112Oracle Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I gots them! And the shoelaces. Such a weird fan, I know.... Before school started, I took the liberty of buying white Converse, which Geddy wore for the tour. I wear Rush socks, have the Converse on, and interchange the laces. Makes it so much more personal for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielmclark Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 No need for socks! http://a.yfrog.com/img40/1699/dbqa.jpg Vibram Five Fingers. They're more comfortable than they look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're more comfortable than they look like. I sure as hell hope so, because - no offense, really - that is some seriously fugly footwear. Well, good. Now I don't feel like a doof for ordering Rush socks. (I love socks. I live in socks. They only time I am un-socked is in the shower). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmclark Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 The picture I took doesn't do it justice really - they're not nearly that bright in the yellow. More of an understated greenish-yellow between the toes. If you're not looking, they don't jump out at you. I don't run in them, but only because I don't generally run But I know people that do run in them and they think they're great for it. I'm going to get a pair in solid black next, and I guarantee, wearing them out at night, nobody will notice 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 of the 7 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I wanted the socks (and lots of other stuff) but I did too much damage with shirts. They'll have to go on the holiday list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

librarian Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 are those low calf or ankle socks? I just love when they indent around around my leg after a high salt intake day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love when they indent around around my leg after a high salt intake day. Looks like they come about 1/3 of the way up the calf. Exactly where I want them when I am wearing pants (as opposed to shorts and sneakers - then I like the shorty socks). I hate sitting down and having a gap between the top of my socks and the hem of my pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 No socks but I did order the shoelaces. I walk with them every day... while I listen to Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCM Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 They are cute, in an odd and goofy kind of way.. since I work at a bank and hopefully (after the next round of interviews) will be working at a law firm, I would wear them with my business suits.

The thong sort of annoys me. "Oh, well, it seems the band DOES have female fans. What sort of marketing can we use to target them?" Most of us would be much happier with a wider selection of shirts tailored for women. They don't need to be pink, or have special girly designs.

danielmclark Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 It's amazing the hatred that a simple pair of footwear can bring out in someone. Insulting the wearer - me - saying (even jokingly, though I don't know if you are) that you'd punch someone in the mouth for wearing them... for fk's sake, they're just a pair of goddamn shoes. How's the view from your high horse? Can you see well enough from up there you pretentious ass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
