South African Nutria 'Tekkie' Low Top Sneakers

One shoe was dated 1977, one 1978. Cool history. The shoes were made slightly different and the canvas where the laces meet is so asymmetrical it's not funny. Very odd inconsistencies. Right shoe fit tighter than left due to them. The materials quality is awesome and they're extremely stealthy. My volume when walking through the woods is reduced approx 30% compared to PF Flyers for some odd reason. I think the tread does the trick. Not most comfortable but what do you expect for a cheap mass produced surplus shoe? They're basically Novesta Star Dribbles on a budget. Goes well with a Gorka jacket. Overall pretty nice. It's like having a CZ75. Old, but still sexy, and maybe not most practical but I can't resist and what's not to like?

They light and comfy. For being made in 1977 they in very good shape. Now to stop my dog from chewing em up.........

Made in 1973. Uncomfortable at first, but breaking in as a I wear them. A lot more character than modern shoes. Don't know how long they'll last as I imagine the adhesives and materials have degraded over time, but they seem like they were stored well. Nonetheless, for the price, I'm very happy and plan to wear them till they wear out.

One thing's for sure, I like them a lot better than anything I can find in the store.
