Im just assuming this, but i think he likes all 3 pairs and is now letting ns choose it. Hes not asking for any shoe in general.

the Lacostes look a bit like chukkas, which come in so many colors and im pretty sure their cheaper. just putting that out there.

not for me... what are they called? I'll just check them out myself

and I realize these aren't like a lot of the kicks you kids wear on here... but I'm a lot older than most of you and so I'm looking for something a little more classy and a little less flashy

pretty much what I'm thinking too.  the skytops are sick but a little too flashy for what I'm going for.  and I like the third ones but not as much as the first two.

Get some nike SB mid tops, I bought mine used from a skateboarder and I also put them through a month or two of skateboarding myself and I still have them over a year later. Great feel and great quality. Take a look at some:
http://www.nike.com/nikeskateboarding/v3/#/shoes
Unfortunately they haven't been producing a lot of mid tops recently but they come out with new ones every month so just keep an eye open they usually have a least one new pair of mid tops every month.

i used to have some lacoste shoes, i found they wore out really quickly.

i also used to have supra skytops, they're super comfy, but were worn out in less than 2 months.
i'm on a pair of vaiders now, super comfy also, wear quick, but look good still.

before i bought my vaiders, i got a pair of purple suede osiris south bronx(mid cut), they fit qa half size small, but arfe just as comfy as supras, but last a long time, ive had them for 8 months now, and the only wear is on the inside lining from sliding them on and off.

Go with the Clae's, they make really nice shoes that won't ever go out of style, and they're made really well too. The Lacoste's are nice but may I suggest the Lacoste Cadmus also, they have similar style to Nike Dunks, but are made of nicer material and look really classy.

I could talk about shoes for days, but I think you can't go wrong with anything made by Clae.
