Hey y'alls,
I was wondering what is your favorite riding shoe.....I myself prefer Reebok Skate shoes or an old pair of running shoes ( even tho I don't run )....I've ridden with just about everything you can imagine...flip flops ( NOT recommended) ....running shoes...skate shoes...top siders....work boots.....casual shoes....even Cowboy Boots. ( in winter ).....hit me up y'all....I think this could be a cool thread.....

Thanks,
Salty.shft.

I use my chucks for swimming, I hate the rocky bottoms at all the swimming holes, so they usually end up on my feet for the ride to the swimming hole.

looks like Chucks are the shoe of choice, so far. too bad the new Chinese ones are so much worse than the old ones. they don't even stick to my skateboard. i dunno what they use for soles these days, but it sure ain't rubber, at least like none i've ever seen.

Steel toed hiking boots, but I live in em. Any further then the shop, (read garage, snork) Other then that it's a 12 yr old pair of slipper Moccasins. I have worn them on a test ride or 7 but really makes me nervous.

Just a side thought, good boots, helmet and jack hammer/ridding gloves add to the enjoyment for me. I started wearing the gloves after a crash to avoid road rash on the palms but really helps with numb hands from vibes.

Great question and thread Salty.

what ever shoes I have on is a good shoe to ride in, pair of nike air force ones,etnies,work shoes, a pair of converse shoes with dragons on them, nautica dress shoes, really any shoes that I wear are susceptible to be a riding shoe for the day

you know some chinese companies are now rent white people? realy. The will hire a white person, and then other companies pay the white people to stand around their lobby. they think it makes them seem like a fancy and thriving company!
