ok ppl...
my globes are nearly at the end of their life, so im wondering what are the best riding shoes u guys have ever owned/seen/used ....
ps, i know they have the trials specific/elf shoes (no offence harley) but im not too keen on them... im looking for something that i can wear as casuals when im not on the bike...

I just go into target/kmart and buy the cheapest pair of imitation skate shoes I can find...20-30 dollars should do you well...I used to run globes/airwalks and there's no real difference in trials performance or durability...so why spend the money? expensive shoes are really just a farce, especially if you are just going to rip them up on VP pedals...

unless your parents are paying for your shoes, don't bother spending more than $50...there's no difference...and target smells nice

they are made out of cheese, or that neoprene stuff, and they are really flimsy but grip real well to the pedals so you have maximum control over the bike and minimum dignity (the monty ones are rainbow coloured)
