Do you wear running shoes often?

Pretty much all the time yeah.I usually buy running shoes that are completely black so they don't stand out with wild motifs and colors.

Running shoes are the most comfortable ones, that's why I prefer them.

The only time I don't wear them is if I'm going to an event like a wedding or I need to do some manual work in which case I wear some working boots to protect my toes.I even procrastinated on buying winter boots for the last three years ever since my last pair was finished.I just wear running shoes even in snowstorms and it's perfectly fine as long as I don't plan to walk a lot on said snow (which I never do).

I have had the same pair of New Balance running shoes for eight years. The only reason I put them on is to go to the gym or if I have to go out during a winter storm.

I wear leather flip-flops around the house and during the summer. I hate shoes. Otherwise, I wear dress shoes for work and during casual times in the winter.

The rink ..too often

Maybe a bunch of people wear them to computer, war gaming or chess club?

It's gotta depend on what else you're wearing them with, hopefully not a dress shirt and tie.

I do notice though when there's a queue overnight outside the store for the latest gotta have sneakers it looks like the same queue for the latest iPhone; not too much overt athletic prowess or potential on display.

I have several sets of running shoes. I have a pair for when I do sprint training, a pair for when I do hill training, a pair for trail running, and a few pairs for casual.

I don't really care much about how the shoes look that I train with, as long as they are comfortable and light. I am pretty particular about the ones I wear causally.

If I'm wearing shorts or warm up pants, I will wear a pair of running shoes, but with these shoes I always lace them so they don't need to be tied. They also have to have a certain look, which I can't describe, but I just know it when I see it.

I rarely wear running shoes with jeans. It's usually dress shoes or a pair of Tims, but it depends on if they are dress jeans or not.

My own steadfast rules are that I never wear running shoes with dress pants or a suit. I don't get that look, but to each their own.

When I go running, which isn't as often as it should be, I wear my navy Saucony Everuns. They protect my feet on hard surfaces.

I never wear shoes, ever. Never wash my feet either. What do you think natives did? They ran around with no shoes on either and didnt have showers!
