    Show us your new shoes

    Got a new pair of Kicks post them here. I wear shorts a lot and needed a new pair of casual shoes to wear with them. Ipicked up these Rockports for an insane 80% off retail. They are super comfy too!

    Nice looking shoes, are they considered boat shoes? I am no shoe afficianado lol. My most recent purchase are a pair of Ecco's for work. They are not terribly old, but they are proving to hold up MUCH better than some other brands I have.

    I don't think they are boat shoes, dont boat shoes have that cabling around the heel?

    Summer Winter and the bits in between if I am not actually at work or dressed to go out on a Fri or Sat night all I wear is these.
    I probably get through 2 pair of these a year but haven't bought any new proper shoes in 3 yrs.

    Have you tried Flojos nice thick padding on the sole that stands up to daily wear for several months before getting compressed

    Glad you asked, MM - not only do I have that "stuff", I wear it too. I am definitely in the ATGATT-camp*

    I have had two involuntarily offs in nearly 37 years of riding and I walked away both times. Especially the first time, it would have been a very different story had I not been wearing my riding-gear - I was left with holes in my nearly new leathers and the helmet had to be replaced.

    To most it's obvious that mc-leathers have (quite) a bit of protection in them and the leathers in the above picture are indeed stuffed with hard body armor. Less obvious is the protection provided by my all-weather gear / suit - I used to commute on my motorcycle when I still lived in The Netherlands and I have logged more miles in the rain than in dry conditions. I digress; my all-weather suit is made out of kevlar reinforced GoreTex and its abrasive resistance is even superior to leather. And features knee-, hip-, elbow-, shoulder-, back- and lung-/chest-protection.
