Random question regarding foot wear!

Sooo I get into this with my buddies often and as men we are going to do what we do. So with that ... How many of you guys when you ride to work you have on your nice business shoes on the bike instead of wearing your boots or what ever the heck you wear for some type of protection. Yeah I wear my boots but hell i wear leather in 100+ too.....
I

am just saying ...

use to keep a separate set of nice shoes at work but after a couple of months, got old since my ride to work was only about 7 minutes.

I keep a nice set of shoes in the office as well. Sadly one morning walking to work saw a fella on a duc with his very nice business shoes destroyed due to a small incident. I am sure he cared less at that point but all I could see was his mangled dress shoes and the wounded duc.

Bike equals boots. There isn't a single reason you could justify wearing inferior protection on your bike. I was hit by a driver that ran a red light on my blind side back in November. I was working at the time making a run to the bank. Even with my dainese boots the SUV crushed 3 of my toes, lacerated the boot and into my foot, and 4 months later I still have nerve pain. I can only imagine had I been wearing dress shoes.

Boots. Always.

If I have to wear different shoes when I get somewhere (gym), ill bring a backpack.

Lowside in regular shoes and you could lose a foot, literally. Ive seen too many pictures and heard too many stories of someones foot being ripped to shreds and almost torn off.

In a bad crash I had back in 2009 (racing), my foot was bent in ways it wasn't designed to and my ankle was torn to ..... It took several hours of surgery and lots of hardware to get it back right (followed by weeks in a cast and lots of physical therapy).

If the same thing happened on the street and I would have been in regular shoes, I likely would have lost my foot.

Don't risk it. Seriously. Whatever inconvenience you may have to deal with is not worth going the rest of your life without being able to walk.
