shoes will always get screwed up. i love chucks, but sometimes it's nice to switch it up with something that has some padding. besides, just because you're always on your bike doesn't mean you can't wear nice stuff that's kinda pricey (if you enjoy wearing it). i mean i cater what i wear to being conducive to not being uncomfortable on my bike, but i wouldn't not wear a nice pair of shoes that i like wearing just cause they'd get beat up with straps/clips.

but as my roomie pointed out, men generally tend to be rougher on their shoes than the ladies. and wear them out much faster
