Quick question: is everything on the Lacoste website available at Lacoste stores? I saw a pair of really cute plain white leather Lacoste flats in Wish magazine and I found them online at Lacoste but I think I will probably just buy them from the actual store...if they have them of course

^I'm not sure if EVERYTHING is, but most things are. Your best bet is to check it out in the store, and if not, maybe buy it online or something.

Hm, ok. I will definitely check the Lacoste store by my house when I get the chance. Thanks guys! Do you think an item like a plain white leather flat be more like a staple (as in it's available season to season) or it's just for this season??

_TNA_ · Posted: Thu Jun 05, 2008 3:18 pm Post subject:

^Hmm, prob just this season. Personally, I think it is a staple item, but stores like to think white flats are a springy/summer item.

Hey people.

I've got this green sling backpack (the sort that goes over one shoulder, and has the "pack" part on the back) and I must say, after 10 months of using it, I'm having incredible back pain. It's constantly hurting, and I can't even bend down anymore. I'm not as flexible either, and find it incredibly hard to touch my toes now.

My art teacher said my spine was probably out of alignment, and that my Converse and Keds were probably not helping. He suggested orthotics, but I'm not sure if my family has the money for those.

So.. does anyone know where I can get a decent-looking backpack with 2 straps (and maybe a waste belt) that'll help me out for next year? And what about comfy shoes with arch support?

Thanks guys.

^ Azuzephere: you can try the Jansport backpacks, they're pretty. Usually they have fun designs on them. Or, the Outdoor/MEC backpacks, I find in addition to comfort, they are also pretty nice. Myself, I own an Outdoor backpack. If you're more of the fashionista type, try the LeSportSac bags, they're gorge!

Also, with the shoes, I know my physiotherapist has a whole catalogue of nice shoes, like Pumas! You can ask local clinics to see their catalogue. And also, you can always get custom made foot slides for your foot and buy any type of shoe you want.

^^i have a jansport backpack, its like a houndstooth pattern and super cute, it was about 30, the support isn't great but it's pretty good, i also have a MEC backpack that has really nice cushioning for the back, and it was also around 30 which i think is a very good price for a nice, sturdy, comfotable backpack, though you need an account at MEC to buy their stuff

man. that was a really long run on sentence

Azuzephere: My first thought was MEC backpacks - all my friends have them - and they all say that they're reallllyyyy good, though that is probably expected cause they make awesome expedition packs (which I need to buy! Cause I'm doing the Juan de Fuca trail this summer, partaaay!!!) And they're pretty reasonably priced too. I've had a Jansport before, it's support was okay...right now I use a Dakine and it's awesome, the back padding is really good and the straps are strong so yeah I would highly suggest Dakine too. However Dakine is on the more expensive side, so it might be better to go with the MEC. And another plus for the Dakine is they have really cool prints...although the MEC ones look really cool too.

Thanks you guys!

I find the really simple Jansport bags have flimsy straps, so I'm looking into Dakine and MEC. One question, where do you get them?

And how do you guys feel about Roxy bags? Yay or nay?

^ For Dakine, I find they have the most selection at Sport Chek - check http://www.sportchek.ca for locations.

MEC bags are from Mountain Equipment Co-Op; they don't have tons of locations but you can also check that at http://www.mec.ca

I have nooo idea about Roxy bags though, sorry. I know Burton makes pretty good bags and since Roxy is in kind of the same vein as Burton perhaps their bags are good too? Only way to know for sure is to check one out for yourself! But I'm sure they would have really cool designed ones cause most Roxy stuff is really cute.

^^Roxy bags are super cute and great quality. The only bad thing is that they are pretty small, so you can't fit many books in them.

If you're in Vancouver. Perhaps check the lululemon outlet.
they sell te oqoqo line there and when I was last there, they had gauchos.
I can't remember if there's an oqoqo shop in vancouver, maybe downtown.

^ I think they used to have an oqoqo shop downtown but not anymore. There's one on West 4th by the Lululemon in Kits.

tropical_pink · Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2008 9:36 am Post subject:

Azurephere: I really like the roxy ones. You could also try roots and west 49.

SUGARR*: I got mine at lululemon, but i got them like last year so i dont know if they would still have them or not

@Azuzephere: IMO, the Roxy ones are a bit like the Jansport ones; the straps are quite flimsy. However they are very nice and like _TNA_ said, good quality so it depends which factor your prioritize!

@SUGARR*: Other than Lululemon, I'm pretty sure you can find them in Roots, or Wal Mart.

does anybody know where to buy those adidas or kappa track pants/"soccer" pants?
i know aritzia has adidas zip ups with country's names on the back
but do they also have pants with the matching colour?

thanks =)

Puddingcup. · Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2008 5:47 pm Post subject:

nope, they just have the jackets, and then their usual tna pants.

try sportchek or any other athetic apparel store
they'll probably have them, but I can't promise they'd have the matching suits.
well.. maybe for the euro cup..
