Sneaker-Fi (or Shoe-Fi)

The shoe I'm currently trying to get through (I always use [not thrash] my "gear" to death, or at least try my best to), and right now I'm having a hard time with these, especially because of that Vibram outsole... The North Face -- Hedgehog

These are for moving, basically, but nowadays all I'm doing is walking, so that's why they're still unhurt.
 
In other casual/display or "stationary" situations I use, swear by, and collect these skateshoes by Osiris (yes, more plastic..):
 (a 2003 thing)
 
 

 
And their big brothers, though a lot less "swearing by" and collecting of these
 (2001, you guessed it)


 
They're really big in your feet :/, but I like the details:

 
They were really popular at the time, though expensive and not so good for skateboarding.
 
 
I'm surprised to see so much Nikes, in Canada we barely got them.

When do you wear them?

 
Oh like I said I would love to but I don't, and probably never will, own them, lol.

Nope.  Those are on-road racing boots.

 
Hum you're right actually.
 
Kind of like those:

 
But for faster bikes! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_boot
 
So that if your foot falls off it doesn't get sanded to the bone by the tarmac.
 
Motocross boots seems very similar and hard to tell apart though...

I use to ride crotch rockets many moons ago and loved my Sidi Vertebra boots.
 
Anyhow, here's my thread contribution.  My knees, shins, and calves hurt like hell after the first 3 mile run. 
 
I thought about the five-toe shoes, but I have wide feet and it looked like I was wearing scuba flippers; and yes, they are damn ugly and look very strange on human feet.
