Shoe/Trainer Question from an Idiot

Adamsbodie

Hello Peeps looking for some advise looking for some shoes that I can use on the old bike.
Problem is pedals have them little metal stud thingys & there ripping all my trainers soles to bits.
So presume im looking for trainers with reinforced soles that I can also use for walking about in?
So where do I get them, how much am I looking at and what brands do you recommend?

Cheers in adavnce

5.10's when you wear the soles out just get them resoled with the same stuff. Insanely grippy, but with pinned pedals you're always going to chew your footwear a bit.

Any cheap skate shoes from T K Maxx or similar will be fine.

DG, Etnies, Globe, Quiksilver, Vans can be got there for much cheapness (about £20)

Only spend a lot on 5-10s if you intend downhilling in them.

I got a cracking pair of quicksilver trainers from TK Maxx for about £15...The have quite a thick sturdy sole, so havn't quite been ripped to bits (although the uppers are in a bit of a state now!!)

I can beat all of them! £8.50 Kappas from TK Maxx yeah.

Got a brilliant sole for sticking to pedals, kind of tiny cylinders in rows which the pins go between, and so cheap I don't care that they started off bling white and are now grot brown.

5.10s are generally recommended by anyone who has a pair, but they aren't cheap at ~£65. Plus they look a bit "special" to be wearing when off the bike. El-cheapo vans / airwalks or something from a sports store are a good bet.
