Reef Byerly as everyday shoe?

How do these shoes hold up for everyday use? I was thinking of getting them to wear. Then when summer comes around I could switch them to use for wakeskating, if I ever buy or decide to make one.

they will start cracking at the spotwhere they bend alot, really not designed for everyday use

i have the byerlys and they are awesome as an everyday shoe. i even skate with them and they hold up pretty good. the bad thing about the shoes is that the arent that great with grip decks for wakeskating.

wakeboardguy45, how are they not good with grip wakeskates, but they are good for skateboarding? Does it have something to do with the grip getting wet?

i use my byerlys when riding on grip and foam and they work great on both. i have used them around a few time when i'm not riding and they felt fine.

yeah if theres a puddle anywhere and you even get close to it you get wet, thats the only problem ive really had, but theyre comfortable wit no socks and you dont really get blisters.
