Etnies remains the choice of my favourite rider - me.
Edit: i would give those sticky sole 5 10's a go if ever i find someone who stocks them.

I'm generally sporting a soft pointy Chelsea boot these days.

Just ordered yet another pair of Merrel Chameleons. Ubercomfy waterproof and breathable. When not in work (Dr Martens shoes) or on the bike (various Shimano) I pretty much wear them all the time.

randomjeremy - what else are you supposed to wear for knocking about in...a pair of old brogues???

Not necessarily I mean if you want to fine, but some nice boots or shoes or something maybe? It's not for me to judge but IMHO trainers are strictly for the under 30s. Google "emo dad"

I wear special built up shoes, because both my legs are shorter than the other.

Work. Blundstones.
Dressed up. Underground Gene winklepicker chelsea boots.
Bumming around. Vans, DCs, Merrell Refuge Pro Ventilator, Merrell Chameleon Cargo Sport. Apparently I'm beyond dodgy.
Tech stuff. 5.10 Freeriders, Merrell Chameleon Mid Waterproof, Merrell Refuge Pro Ventilator, Merrell Chameleon Cargo Sport.Forget outdated age stereotypes. The right tool for the right job.

Flip flops. Can be a bit chilly in January.Posted 7 months ago # -
Mostly wearing these supra vaider high tops at the moment (see below), white lace up vans for when it's warm or with skinny chinos or if I have to be smart some exceptionally pointy brogues.

Heh.I'm 41, a short, fat, ugly-ish, ageing ex-goth. I don't do 'style' but I do take an inordinate and geeky interest in my footwear.
Guilty as charged.

Puma speedcat things bought in early 2008. Currently looking far from their best after getting a lot of kebab-juice on them last new year. Should probably replace them sometime...

Currently 35 & wearing these as my main shoes, but with blue & orange laces.

I bought some Salomon trail running shoes as a more versatile alternative to walking boots. So comfy (and inoffensive looking) I wear them whenever I can. They do a goretex version which I'm tempted to get for winter too.

Suede desert boots or DMs. Comfy ,cool to wear and stylish.Plus its about the only 'tribe' shoes you can safely wear over 40.
Can't ever wear man made materials . I can't see why people wear trainers. How much do your feet sweat in the summer?Posted 7 months ago # -

Actually I'm coveting a nice pair of Cheaneys at the moment - I really fancy a pair of these:
old para boots.........late 30's

Kangaroo skin diadora borg elites , No not really any old Adidas sambas or Keglers. I normally buy anything on offer but usually wreck them walking dogs or riding bikes.
