You’re welcome ! Underground is my favourite brand for creepers, the quality is just great. Submit some pictures of your new shoes, if you like. :D
You’re welcome ! Let me know when you got them and if you’re happy with them. :)
There aren’t really ‘knock-off’ creepers, imo. Because creepers aren’t bound to one single brand. I do recommend underground shoes for their high quality. There is also tuk (actually I think they quality got better since I last talked to someone with tuk creepers.) , demonia and bodyline (low quality but cheap) and I am sure there are even more brands I don’t know or websites that sell creepers without a brand name to them like they do at camden market. It depends on what is available to you. I remember when I was in London, I had the opportunity to pick from more than one brand and compare them, that was best ofcourse but not everybody got that privilige. Long story short, it depends on what is available to you but I recommend underground shoes. :)
It would be best ofcourse if you have the possibility to try them one first.. like if there is a store that has demonia creepers even though those are not the type you want, you could still try the sizes or if a friend got demonia creepers, you could try those, too. But I guess the above are not options available to you since you sure had those ideas already before me. So what I would suggest is yes, buy them one size larger or at least half a size. (I don’t know if demonia got half sizes, I know that it is possible with underground) The thing is: you can always were them with thick(?) socks. That’s something I would suggest anyways, I tend to wear my creepers (which are a bit too big because the smaller size was always too small) with one pair of normal and one pair of really thick socks so it is more comfortable. I don’t get blisters when I do it like this. The sole of creepers is really firm so the shoes tend to rub on your knuckles when you walk and wearing too thin socks can cause irritation on your skin and you either rub off some skin or get blisters. Long story short: yes, buy a size up if you’re not sure how they’ll fit. :)
You are welcome ! I - and the other followers too, for sure - are always there if you or anyone else got questions. :)
There you go. :) (I recommend underground, too, btw.)
I don’t know about demonia but I really really advice you not to buy tuk creepers. I’ve seen some that my friends bought and they broke pretty soon. The thing with creepers is that the sole is really firm and when you walk, the joint between the fabric/leather/whateveritactuallyis tends to break.. well not really the joint but a part of the sole that is not a direct part of the rubber tends to get off. You can get that fixed easily and cheap but it is annoying if it happens too often. That is one of the things that happen to low quality creepers besides rippen off the clasps where you tie it. Maybe one of my followers got advice for you that can give you more information about demonia creepers. :)
