These are my daily walkers, BMX riders, rainy day shoes, and mechanic work shoes. Left shoe not pictured, but I’m sure you get the idea…

Yes I do have a few much nicer pairs of shoes for nice or important occasions, but I’d rather fully wear out one pair of shoes at a time.

So, what’s your worn out shoes looking like?

    I stopped wearing disposable shoes several years ago. So when they start to where out, I bring them to my cobbler to get repaired.

      Cool cool 👍

      Any particular advice on shoes you might have?

      I’m a BMX flatland rider, but I’ve found that Van’s skateboard shoes are bullshit and I wear those out within like 3 days.

      Advice welcome…?

        That is because Vans are trash, they aren’t skateboard shoes they are fashion shoes that are marketed as skateboard shoes.

        If you buy some proper shoes designed for skating they should last a bit better. I presume if you are riding brakeless then you mostly have issues with the soles, like I do braking when skating.

        I have had good luck with Osiris, Es and Globe in the last few years but at the end of the day applying such aggressive friction you are always gonna burn through shoes fast than you would by just walking.

        My average is around a year before I start braking with skin.
