whifferdills: lyricwritesprose: doctorwho: The New Companion is coming! Check back here tomorrow aka Saturday akaApril 23rd for all the news and details Okay, now I can get ridiculously analytical about shoes. Those are athletic shoes with a bit of a high top. In fact, unless my flawless google skills fail me, these are “Vans sk8 high-top trainers” in “gossamer green.” Here’s a link. The green color is the fourth choice over. Now, the US pricing on these shoes is pretty cheap, as shoes go, but not the absolute get-the-nothing-you-pay-for cheapest. So these are the sort of shoes you might buy if you’re watching your budget, but also want something with ankle support and decent soles. If these are the companion’s regular shoes, I bet she spends some time on her feet. If they’re her sports shoes, they’re not specifically for jogging; ever runner I’ve ever known wants a low top. They’re a very specific color. That shoe, as you can tell from the link, offers white, gray, and black, all of which are generic shoe-ish colors that go with most things, but this woman specifically picked pastel green. So, they were picked for looks as well as practicality. In terms of characterization, I’d say that pastels generally indicate lightheartedness. That’s all I can pull out of my ass skillfully deduce at the moment. Anyone else? they’re Vans sk8 highs, i mean they’re more on the fashion end now than most skate shoes but they still have that counter-cultural cache. it’s a comfy enough pair of kicks but they offer marginally more support than a pair of Chucks - canvas body, thin flat sole. even as a skate shoe, like, there are plenty of brands more concerned with function. you buy Vans because you want a pair of Vans. because Vans are rad. tl;dr soft grunge skateboarding companion confirmed -- source link
