I have worn Adidas Originals for years now. They were pretty cheap for a couple of years but now they're back up to normal shoe price which is disappointing for my wallet. They just have that sleek fresh classy look especially when they're exceptionally clean.

I've stopped using them, but I went thru a few pairs of Nike Air Pegasus shoes over the years. I think I first had them in 1989 or so. The shoe keeps on changing, still being made, and looks nothing like the shoes I had back then, but I like the basic style that Nike started with.

Tretorns, although they've changed the quality. They are a lot flimsier than they used to be.

I wear Air Pegasus for walking/jogging. They are very comfortable. I didn't realize they had been around that long.

@whatsmypassword: Agreed. Been wearing All-Stars since the early 70s. It was my first purchase with my first paycheck ever while in Jr. High School.

It sucks that Nike moved the manufacturing overseas after they bought Converse, but I just can't give them up.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
