I recently got mine fixed at the cobbler. He had to splice the heel just because I had so much heel drag but it still looks good/adds a “worn in” look to your wardrobe that just kind of makes me respect people more when they repair their shoes/clothes

I have had drkshdw babel Ramone's since 2020 as my daily shoe and they only now have any kind of semi bad heel drag. Still plenty of life even if I do nothing. Analyzing your walking style helps, maybe doing some tweaks here and there to walk in Rick's with ease and without damaging them so quickly.

Greattt vid, don’t even have a Rick yet

Is it just me or did Rick intend to use the material for that matter? I feel like Rick had already thought of this and decided to go along with it to make the shoes look “better” the more it is worn. Maybe it’s a “wear is good” typa thing, like vintage 🤔

Wear is good on a product that lasts, this is going to far honestly. Rick 100% is aware of it since he uses a better sole on his older shoes like the dunks and I think vans and his current DRKSHDW shoes.

@@cameron2900x 50% of the "value" of a luxury clothing item is the brand identity. People don't buy ricks looking for ideal pragmatic clothing. Lots of luxury clothing material & manufacturing DOES increase the usability of garments, however you're never going to get "$800 more quality" in your Ramones or Dunks vs a different shoe.

Hey man. May i know what the size did you get for the heel taps? Thank you.

This is the exact reason I just can't wear any Rick shoe. I have to wear the full Rick fits with Yohji or Ann

i just got rick owens dark shdws on sale for $423 and the first thing i noticed after wearing them is that the quality of the shoe isnt so good and the back of both my feet have scraped the skin off the heel part and the bottom of the shoe is already kinda messed up like how you said the rubber is like an eraser.

can someone please send me a link for the white ones ?

where can I get the white taps?

it can be fixed just gotta find the right cob

You mean vibram*. The point is that for a shoe this expensive, they should use a material that is as strong and durable as a vibram sole. Going to a cobbler to get one installed is an additional cost, alters the shoe and depending on the cobbler can ruin the shoes if its not done correctly. Its not ideal and shouldn't need to be done for a shoe of this price range.
