Hard to toss 'em when they still have tread.
In Response To: Happens to all rubber sole shoes ()
As everyone has stated, the uppers are still in good shape and the soles likely still look good. I don't wear my boat shoes off the boat, so they hardly wear... so the tread still looks good, but the rubber has hardened and the shoes lose their gripyness.
