That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

These are my daily walkers, BMX riders, rainy day shoes, and mechanic work shoes. Left shoe not pictured, but I'm sure you get the idea..
Yes I do have a few much nicer pairs of shoes for nice or important occasions, but I'd rather fully wear out one pair of shoes at a time.
So, what's your worn out shoes looking like?
I stopped wearing disposable shoes several years ago. So when they start to where out, I bring them to my cobbler to get repaired.
Cool cool ๐
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..?
That is because Vans are trash, they aren't skateboard shoes they are fashion shoes that are marketed as skateboard shoes.
If you buy some proper shoes designed for skating they should last a bit better. I presume if you are riding brakeless then you mostly have issues with the soles, like I do braking when skating.
I have had good luck with Osiris, Es and Globe in the last few years but at the end of the day applying such aggressive friction you are always gonna burn through shoes fast than you would by just walking.
My average is around a year before I start braking with skin.
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...
