these shoes are made for standing around and doing virtually nothing in

hipsters don't care about what they wear on their feet. as long as they can have their morning cup of coffee and write a poem and perhaps create some music that's not going to be mainstream for another four years.

nonhipsters care very much about what they wear on their feet. and usually end up wearing some urban outfitters rehash of a shoe that was solely (pun intended) worn to be functional, not fashionable, about 25 years ago -- older than the actual wearer. like keds. and vans. and anything you'd find here.

now i'm not saying that these shoes are particularly bad. or unfashionable. or even not functional. because they are. and they can be.

shoes don't make the man. or the hipster, as the case may be. just like prada doesn't always mean pretty (case in point), weird, beat up, and narrow doesn't mean hipster. it just doesn't. no matter how much you wish it to be true.
