Talk:Athletic shoe

message: I'd politely suggest to anyone who happens to come along that instead of just reverting my recent addition, they either delete that whole section as it was or find a source for these drug dealing shoe throwers.  I noticed that that particular section has been in the history for far too long.
No offence to User:Master_of_Ninja who originally added it, he'd pretty much saved the article from being a stub 72.74.21.232 20:16, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have completed this merge. There may still be formatting issues. especially with the images. I also  think the section about "fair trade sneakers" should be removed, but I have left it in for now. Park3r 09:16, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The sneakers in the first picture aren't particularly athletic. They're more of a casual wear style. I suggest changing it --Energman 21:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Depends on what's meant by athletic.  Sneaker redirects here and describes a largely casual style of footwear which shares aesthetic qualities with athletic footwear.  The article could do with being split into sections describing the variants in footwear by activity (running shoes, basketball shoes, sneakers/casual wear, etc). --81.179.105.210 21:48, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Sneaker collecting#History has nothing to do with sneaker colleting, it is merely an unreferenced (although looking plausible) essay on sneaker history. Laudak (talk) 00:36, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Sneaker boots are listed as a type of athletic shoe. 
On the sneaker boot article, however, it says that they are useless except as a dress shoe.
It seems that the two are in direct contradiction. One must be true and the other not true: either they are a kind of athletic shoe, or they are no a type of athletic shoe. Any ideas as to which?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.40.193.20 (talk) 19:46, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The list of athletic shoe types is missing slip-on shoes.  While many are casual, several skater shoes include the slip-on type.  Slip-on should be one of the types.  --Bmoshier (talk) 19:10, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure about this, I've heard "tackies" or "takkies", and "tekkies" (Afrikaans equivalent?) but not "torkies". Only Google results I'm getting is for "Toy Fox Terrier Yorkies"! --Zilog Jones (talk) 01:19, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
