  We all wear shoes how come Maxxis doesn't Team up with a Shoe Manufacturer  and make shoes for us using our favorite tread patterns? Seems logical to me but I'm sure theres a reason they dont do it,  in some portions of the world old tires are repurposed to shoe soles but I'd definitely buy a set of Maxxis shoes if they existed.

 Just Saying

Not sure, you'd have to ask someone from TLD.

Vibram is used in bike shoes. Conti is present in trail and hiking shoes from Adidas, obviously not on MTB models. Michelin is a collaborator on some shimano and Northwave shoes. There is some overlap, but it might mostly be marketing...
