What the fuck does it matter?

Trail shoes aren't meant to be used on firm ground... I mean...you obviously can. Just like you can walk on cleats on concrete too...
 

Daughter and he hubby just hit the road. She'll miss many of her friends here after two years, but there's social media for that.

I remember when they moved in to their basement apartment. Couple upstairs. Guy was working on his PhD in Mechanical Engineering, said he had about "6 months" left. He's still nowhere near graduating, yet.
 
Oh. Jeez. Hopefully I don't slip and slide all over when walking on concrete. . .
No. Quite the opposite. Trail shoes have extra traction, which will grab concrete more. It will wear down the shoe much faster.

Like I said, it doesn't really matter, it's just potato stuff.

cleats don't grab concrete, bud
 
Which part would you like help with?

For help...


Not only that, but you can wear out the lugs quicker if you do too much road running. It will decrease the overall life expectancy of your shoes and reduce grip efficiency on the trails.

When NOT to Use Trail Running Shoes​


Try to avoid trail running shoes when running on manmade surfaces, like concrete or asphalt. The abrasive pavement can wear down the rubber lugs on the shoe's outsole, which can compromise your grip when you switch back to off-roading.
There are times when you should not wear trail shoes. Try to avoid wearing them on tracks (where they may damage the surface) or on hard surfaces like asphalt. The stiff sole of the trail shoe can cause mid-foot discomfort.

I think we are confused by your cleats comment

and the potato thing

no one is confused about wearing trail shoes on concrete.

The part that's completely false?

they do when you remember to apply a fresh coating of cement glue on them prior to each use. really helps to prevent damage and extend their life.

Would you like a fourth link? This is pretty common knowledge, I can probably give you a 100 links if you want.

You gotta avoid sidewalks and your driveway while driving/walking/running to the trails?

Keep linking articles stating that having less surface contact improves CoF
