Barefoot or sandals for the most part...

I'm about as far from a skater as you can get but I have worn Skechers for as long as I can remember

I've got Fila. Can't quite shake the Nazi roots for Puma and Adidas (although that doesn't keep me off Fanta)...

I remember getting a pair of Lottos in high school that lasted me almost my entire stint there.. they were way cheaper than whatever the most prominent Adidas and Nike/Jordans cost.

It's interesting. I admire so many sneaker styles from afar.  But in my adult life, I haven't been able to make that jump into paying $80+ for a pair of sneakers, especially since I'm not a regular basketball player.  Heh.  And with all these customized jobs and limited editions coming out, I can't keep track even if I were of a mind to.

I know what you mean.  My initial reaction is to not like companies with racist/anti-Semitic/etc. roots, but I think I've finally come to a point where I judge the people who are there, not what they were.  But it can be hard.

Me too.

But are Reeboks out of rotation?
