I second that. The only ones that fit me too.......the megas.
So they're maintenance free........is that possible? I've seen some shoes (unidentifiable brands) that were really quite curled up and faded at swap meets.
Not exactly. Mine get sweat-saturated. The toes stiffen and the tongues curl. That's why I do the bucket wash.

I went through a 14 hour road ride in the rain with mine. They were covered in mud, even though I was on a road bike. Hit them with a hose when I got home, and jammed old newspapers in them to let them dry out. And they came out like new, I was very surprised.

Believe it or not, Pampers seem to pull the moisture out much better than newspaper. But then....that's what it's supposed to do 🙂
