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 don’t think I have a daily shoe. I wear shoes based on the occasion. For me, it’s just different levels of weight/ protection/ support. Baking soda in a sock helps dry them out. Adds a few years.
Hah, new insoles would probably cost me more than the shoes themselves did, which were $16.95
These are my daily junker shoes, as the usual ‘special occasion’ for me tends to be changing tires or replacing a starter or some other greasy shit…
I do have other nice shoes for other situations.
Not orthopedic insoles, the cheap ones that came with your shoes from China. They’re 10 bucks on alibaba for 3 pairs. I haven’t done that since the trade war, though.
