I upgraded from a bicycle to a motorcycle at the end of last season so it was wet weather so I was obviously not going to wear sneakers while riding.
As I'll finally be able to ride in nice weather for the first time soon, I'm wondering if you can ride a motorcycle with sneakers without ruining them?
The work boots I wore to ride got far dirtier in under 2 months riding than they had in 1.5 years of normal wear but that's because it was wet/raining much of the time.
In hot dry weather, can you wear sneakers on a motorcycle without ruining them? I'm mostly concerned with shifting with the right foot as you need to push the shifter up which could wear out the toe area.
I just thought of looking at the sneakers I wore at motorcycle school (it was still hot summer weather while I took the course) and they don't seem affected.
