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?

    Not referring to the shoes I posted, but I’ve never found a pair of shoes that can be safely (or legally) thrown in a washing machine.

    We don’t have our own washing or drying machines here, we have to use laundromats. You throw shoes or boots in there, you’ll get charged with sabotage… ☹️

        Meh, nobody in their right mind would give me any sort of shoe warranty once they realize I ride brakeless BMX flatland…

        This isn’t exactly the clip I was looking for, but what the fuck you expect a flatland rider to do with both wrists sprained?..

          I’m pretty sure I would eat shit if I tried to learn any BMX stuff. Hope you enjoy it even though you mangled yourself lol.

            Advice: Don’t try BMX stunts at home, unless you got balls of crazy.

            For me, in a strange way, it helps me understand complex mathematics. The less I think of how I’m riding, the more I understand what I’m actually doing.
