These are my "go to" shoes.
I just ordered a pair of green suede Pumas, b*tches.

Yep.
I had a friend who wore those close toed types in the kitchen at the Sun Valley Ram restaurant. He insisted on closed toe leather ones due to kitchen hazards such as knives falling, pots and pans, hot oil or grease, etc. The toes on those things looked pretty hammered, and apparently did the job. He was, unsurprisingly, from somewhere near Eugene, can't quite remember where, in Oregon. Good skier, kayaker, and photographer too.These are my "go to" shoes.
My first pair were both the slip on open toed "Geezus" type. I have a pair with the rear ankle buckle now that I keep at the office for if I wear bike shoes on the way in. I wish they were slip on though. More convenient.

They are on my feet.
The problem is if you are on your knees, the shoes are upside down. Doesn't matter how much money you spend, nobody makes shoes that will last, with the wear on the top.

Nike Metcons or Reebok Nanos. They are Crossfit shoe, and they have a protective coating to prevent the tops of them from being destroyed during rope climbs. They should stand up to the floor.They are on my feet.

I pick up Metcons and Romolos from the employee store for a buddy every few months. If you want, I often get 30-40% off e-coupons for nike.com. Next time I can send one your way.

Awesome! I get 50% off at Reebok because I’m one of their certified crossfit and Olympic Weightlifting coaches, but I don’t get anything from Nike.
