Riding Shoes

I got a quick one for all of you riders out there. what do u wear for shoes while you ride. i love just regular sneakers, but lately they've all been gettin chewed up by the pavement when i ride. maybe its because of how i ride or they're just shitty shoes. any ideas

Re: Riding Shoes

I ride with shoes all the time. and I dont wear then out on my motorcycle...the only part that gets abused is the upper left show from shifting...thats it.

Only time I've worn boots is on track days...
