Never buy Dr. Scholl's sneakers. They're friggin' terrible. I once bought a pair, and they almost immediately had a hole in them and generally wore out, so I bought another, which wore out even faster. Then I bought a Nike pair (Oregon, represent!) and they're in day-one condition two years down the road. One time, (and only one time) I tried starting my Husky with the Dr. Scholl's, which caused useless hard plastic bit on the sole to slip off the starter, which attacked my calf like a redneck to a beer can. I swore to never even approach a bike without wearing boots. Then, another time, we unloaded the bikes and immediately took off, so I forgot I was riding with the Nikes. Two hours later, I realized that shifting was way easier than usual, and that's when I realized I wasn't wearing my boots. Was it safe? Oh, no. But that's only because it would be bad in a crash, in terms of being able to stay on and control the bike, I believe the Nikes were slightly superior. The Scholl's would've been suicide.
That's as close as I can get on this one, I don't go through many "products."
