Default New Balance? Nike? How Often?

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.

NB when I'm doing the carpenter thing...otherwise, it's deck shoes or flip flops...

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.
