How often do you all wear athletic shoes? Outside of the gym I never put them on.
What say you? |

I wear athletic/running shoes everyday. I stand on a warehouse floor for at least 1/4 of my day, and those seem to be the only ones that I can still stand at the end of the day in. Been thinking of my next pair being more of a cross training style shoe with a bit more ankle support...

Once spring rolls around I'll be wearing my NB around the house and on weekends ( except for mowing or on the motorcycle, that requires boots ). since I work in amachine shop, boots are wore daiily.

I wear my New Balance walking shoes as often as I can. My feet hurt in just about anything else.

I did not move to Florida to wear socks.

Well, since I'm at a gym every day, I wear them atleast once every day. Other than that, I wear boots. In the summer tho I will wear shoes a good bit.

Outside of work, I wear only athletic shoes. I have four or five pairs of Nike and ASICS.

I wear NB a lot these days because they come in wide sizes for people over 40. I do try to wear something else when I travel outside of North America, because white athletic shoes are a sure way to stand out as a foreigner.

100% of the time, I am in my Nike running shoes or my hard court tennis shoes( Nike also ). I have a really bad knee and I must have support for the impact, if not my tendons swell and then it's incredibly painful to walk or even move my knees

Practically all I wear...just bought a new set of Puma's to replace some worn out Nike's. Saucony is my fave though.
Wear Red Wing steel toes when working in one of our facilities. |

As for how often... Boots are generally good for about 10 or 12 years.

Asics almost every day at work - great for running around am 800K warehouse all day. Out of work it's bare feet or flip flops in the summer, Merrills in the winter. I miss wearing heels but my legs and feet cramp horribly at night after wearing heels.
