Why do all you people drag your toes?

Believe me, the other crap is worthless. Won't slow down wear by as much as a minute.

I thought that you rubberized your soles, like an NBA player?

Those that do it, do it for the cool metal scraping sound.

That picture is terrible. What color are those? Black? Dark brown? Oxblood?

I like them either way. Nice, classic design. The last is slightly more elongated than I'd choose for myself, but within the acceptable range for sure.

Voxy, I'm surprised by this....thought toe taps were for small-timers? Surely you simply discard the shoe once the toe's have worn out.

I voted for "Topy it at local hippie vegan shoe repair shop " at the very least you can score some good weed.

Some drag their knuckles.

The brads don't preserve my toes at all --- definitely need taps if you are getting excessive wear on the toe.

This is a very popular style. I'm surprised you can't find them. They make them for Kenneth Coles, too.

Saves wear on the knuckles.

Nice shoes, Matt.

äh, they are painted... ...but not black this is how an unpainted soul looks alike, from the toe to the middle, in this case.
