Creepers

[kasmslo]

I was looking through my Elle Collections files this morning... coincidentally found these Creepers featured in the Nathan Jenden A/W 2007 collection. Thought I would share for styling ideas, etc.

See the full collection here. Creepers are used throughout.

Also found some Creepers featured in Vlada's Numéro Tokyo July/August 2009 edit.

Creepers are a perfect example of something that I have never wanted to wear, but I like seeing other people wear them.

They are very scene-specific, to my mind; it will be interesting to see if they can be "re-branded."

I think it's fairly possible, rick owens shoes are a tone down creeper, yohji does have several creeper soled footwear, he wears himself creeper monkey boots and suede Dace V d-rings from George Cox.

Last, I wear them myself.

Lol, I own those pink and leopard creepers! They are from T.U.K, I used to have the white ones but traded them with a friend for the black ones and I also own those other pink ones but in a lighter shade.

I have a black pair of Yohji Yamamoto/George Cox creepers that I bought off ebay for about $25. I wear them constantly -- they're not as platform'ed or showy as the majority of shoes in this thread, but they're incredibly versatile.

Eek, I don't think my photos showed up. Here's one that will probably work better:

They are probably for people who wants some extra height??

 

[AD080119]

are they comfortable to walk in? the soles are very wide and thick and textured dont they make you trip or something? ive never seen someone wearing them irl, im just curious

They are actually very comfortable and they feel like a "normal" shoe. Walking in them, I hardly notice the height change. I tend to trip over everything too and I've never tripped in mine, yet.. lol

Black creepers area adorable. I can't really deal with the overly obnoxious ones though, just as a personal choice.

They're really cute Jibrielle
I love my creepers, I've got black TUK ones with pink leopard print, usually wear them with jeans but I'm wondering if they'd look ok with a dress, any thoughts?

 

[kasmslo]

Anyone know a reputable place to buy Creepers online?

i don't think i will ever "get" this trend.
way too emo/goth for my tastes.

I've never worn creepers before, but ever since i saw them at the MaxMara Spring/Summer 2008 collection i actually slightly wanted to own a pair. I think they complimented the collection quite well.

I love those photos of Yohji, especially the second one

I like a thick sole that makes you feel anchored, but no, I do not like the "classic" creeper style.

I love the ones Jil Sander did for fall 08, and i quite like what Chloe Sevigny did with OC for fall 09. And then these...

these are divine...

does anybody know where i can order george cox shoes online in europe, except from the two uk sites mentioned at the official george cox website?

i adore the ones yohji yamamoto wears. the ones called 'pop boy' look fine as well, not creepers, though.
