Well my tennis shoes are just about shot. I can see my toes through them. I've always worn skate shoes as they arent all flashy, more comfortable, and more durable than regular tennis shoes in my opinion. Anyway, I have been thinking, instead of getting another pair or tennis shoes and a pair of riding shoes, maybe it would be easier to just get riding shoes. I assume that since they are made to slide across the concrete at 40 mph+ would they be durable enough as daily walking around shoes?
I'm pretty rough on shoes, I usually only own three pair : daily shoes, dress shoes, work boots. I usually buy new shoes twice a year. If i purchased riding shoes, and used them for both riding annd day to day activites, do you think they would last any longer or would i be better off only using them for riding? these shoes are expensive and my budget wont allow me to be buying a couple pair of these things year vs a $55 pair of DC's.
I'm torn because I look at the shoes at Revzilla and Cycle Gear and they just look like shoes. I kind of feel like boots would be more durable and provide more protection in a crash. Is that true? If Boots are considerably better to wear, and the shoes may not last longer than a year, I will probably just get boots and tennis shoes.
Take into consideration, I live in michigan which mean i will be trucking through snow, mud, water, and Salt. should i be concerned with some expensive ass riding shoes getting beat to crap from the elements?
I appreciate your input guys. Thanks.
