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 at the apartment, we have to use laundromats elsewhere. You throw shoes or boots in there, you’ll get charged with sabotage… ☹️

      Ahh damn that sucks. It makes it super easy for tennis shoes/sneakers.

        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.

            As long as I stick to flatland, I’m good. If I fail, I just either walk or roll out of it. It’s like an 80% fail, 20% land the tricks for me.

            The real trick is to practice without hurting yourself…
