Adidas Stan Smith?

Post by Rad »

I bought a pair of Stan Smith's the other night and so far they shred pretty well. The toe box is pretty good but the inside and outside surface is sort of puffy and deformed :( . I was also wondering if anyone else has these, I'd like some more feedback on the potentiel of them. Anyone have any idea how to get rid of the puffy deformity on the outside and inside? Maybe I should have just spent the extra 20 and ordered lavers online :cry: .

at least now you have a really similar shoe to base your sizing off of. If the stans aren't nice and snug, go for something a little smaller when you order your lavers. If I were you, I'd just keep the stans for cool looking shoes to wear around, because modified lavers can look not so great ;)
BRICK!

Crap, well I'm stuck with them now. I had 55$ left on my debit card and instead ordering the lavers I bought the stan smiths :cry: . I cut the toe box up so I can't return them either. Now I have about 18$. I told my friend I knew I was making a mistake when I bought these. I should have known there was more to a freestyle shoe than the toebox :P . I have an alternative though. These are what I wear on a day to day basis and they might be ok. I'm going to experiment with some shoes I have lying around the house.

no no no no no no no

There is a reason no one mods them.

Lavers can be modded w/out falling apart-they last forever

you'll just ruin the stan smiths
