Is this scale measured in years, months, or hours?

Upvote for extra shoes 👍

Yard shoes?
I actually like that term, makes sense 👍
I call these my junker shoes, for general everyday use, as I hardly give a shit anymore, as I have other nicer shoes for more formal occasions.

I got holes in the toes, does that count?
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 5 hours ago:
Hah, new insoles would probably cost me more than the shoes themselves did, which were $16.95
These are my daily junker shoes, as the usual ‘special occasion’ for me tends to be changing tires or replacing a starter or some other greasy shit…
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 5 hours ago:
Meh, I prefer cheaper shoes to an extent, as I know I’ll eventually destroy them.
My main requirements are:
-
- Good comfortable fit
-
- Easy to put on and take off
-
- Well ventilated to evaporate sweat
-
- Bottom sole is preferably the yellow rubber anti-skid stuff good for potentially oil-slick surfaces

Vans? I dunno what brand these are, but they’re definitely not Vans.
The last pair of Vans I ever got was like 15 years ago, and I literally destroyed those in 3 days.
Never again, no more Vans for me. Whatever brand these are, they’ve lasted me more than a couple years, so I can’t complain much for only $17…

LMFAO! The big toe area is totally busted out…
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 6 hours ago:
I dunno exactly what brand they are, but for me the bottom is about the best part, everything above that is falling apart LOL!
Still comfortable though, so fuckit…

My feet are definitely not starving to death, I feed them pussy every day!

As long as I stick to flatland, I’m good. If I fail, I just either walk or roll out of it. It’s like an 80% fail, 20% land the tricks for me.
The real trick is to practice without hurting yourself…

Advice: Don’t try BMX stunts at home, unless you got balls of crazy.
For me, in a strange way, it helps me understand complex mathematics. The less I think of how I’m riding, the more I understand what I’m actually doing.

E6000?
You son of a bitch, you reminded me of my old project, my custom modded game controller!
I did lots of mods back in 2003, but the plastic is getting brittle these days ☹️
I really should at least try to fix the remaining parts and give it another game drive, even if it requires some duct tape…

Meh, nobody in their right mind would give me any sort of shoe warranty once they realize I ride brakeless BMX flatland…
This isn’t exactly the clip I was looking for, but what the fuck you expect a flatland rider to do with both wrists sprained?..
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 19 hours ago:
Awesome advice 👍
No dice for me though, washers just destroy my shoes like 5x faster than my own footwear and BMX riding.
Foot/shoe smell means nothing to me, I don’t smell my feet or shoes.
Look at the wear on my right shoe. I’m definitely due for new shoes, but these are my ‘dirty job’ shoes…
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 19 hours ago:
Not referring to the shoes I posted, but I’ve never found a pair of shoes that can be safely (or legally) thrown in a washing machine.
We don’t have our own washing or drying machines here, we have to use laundromats. You throw shoes or boots in there, you’ll get charged with sabotage… ☹️
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 19 hours ago:
Cool cool 👍
Any particular advice on shoes you might have?
I’m a BMX flatland rider, but I’ve found that Van’s skateboard shoes are bullshit and I wear those out within like 3 days.
Advice welcome…?
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 19 hours ago:
Well that toe done sailed…
At least I’m prepped with more new shoes.
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 19 hours ago:
Oh, so early?

You just reminded me that I actually have a pair of firefighter waterproof boots. Hope I never actually need to use them, but I have them…
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 21 hours ago:
Fair play, but coming from a fellow knucklehead…
Keep a couple of extra backup pairs of shoes brand new in the closet. Same with pants and shirts.
I definitely have nicer clothing put up for later, but when I know I don’t need nicer clothing, I’d rather use my junker shoes and clothes whenever I gotta do dirty jobs like mechanic work.
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 21 hours ago:
Wait, you wash your shoes?
I only do that when I stepped into a doggy landmine…

No no, you fell for my bait. You need not apologize, I’m just a dipshit that can’t remember when to stop eating mushrooms.
Have confidence in yourself, and don’t eat the freaky weird shrooms…

It takes an incel to know an incel.
Also, I hate people named Jeff, so kindly fuck off please…

This word salad makes no sense.
- Comment on I'm confused. Is this a kitten or a puppy? 1 week ago:
No kidding, you don’t say huh? That’s why I posted this as a shitpost.
I had my glasses off in the bathroom and my extremely blurry vision saw a kitten with the paper towel folded pattern side in like that.
