Who here just wear their shoes carefree?

[tmcgrady1]

First of all, y'all need to stop bashing wearable shoe trees.  For me, they're amazing.  Take out your insoles and you barely feel them.  They REALLY help.

But anyway, no, I do not wear my kicks carefree.  I don't walk like a duck thanks to wearable shoe trees, but I am careful of where I walk and who's around me.  I also stuff each shoe with at least 2 plastic bags and clean them at least a little after every wear.

I know how much these damn things are worth.  They should be treated as such.  We also all know that our kicks can be sold for at least 60% of what we paid for them if they're in decent condition.

All of my shoes get worn and put back in the box afterwards.
I don't clean them unless its necessary.

So represent if you rock all your shoes, don't clean them after every wear, don't stuff them with socks, don't change your walk. Just wear and enjoy them.

This is exactly what I do. If you keep a good, clean rotation you wont have to worry about cleanin' 'em. Many times I buy one to rock and one to stock but the ones I rock get the Polo boots treatment. I will NOT go around the grass unless I know it is too wet or muddy. I also do even think about the creases, I will not hesitate to squat down in some brand new shoes, I am not scared of creasing . . . and who still stuffs their shoes any?

I never understood how anyone could change their walk? And I will wear any sneaker not suede in the rain anytime. Only thing I will do is wipe it down with baby wipes before it goes in the box if it got dirty. And the guys cleaning the bottoms you guy's are sick. And if its something I am that worried about thats why I have doubles and triples DS.

Yeah, I do the duck walk. I just don't like creases.

I only clean if necessary, all my shoes have been worn at least once (except true blues 2011)

I know the value, so I take care of them.

^^THIS^^
I buy a pair of shoes.
Get them home
Throw away shoe trees
Throw away the box
Keep them all in the same wardrobe
Wear them all regularly,
and only clean when they need it (like after a night out drinking or a music festival etc)

The moment I picked up my pair of CDP black/cement IIIs, I wore the heck out of them.




They look like they're actually from '88.

I dont wear mine to places with alot of traffic, meaning crowded areas such as clubs, bars, etc...where they can easily be stepped on or some can accidentally spill something on 'em.
