No not seen that amount of wear.. and whoever played that most must surely have been a "Leftie"

Wow, I bought a pair of Swivo pedals in 1975 and they still show very little wear to this day. Of course, I used to play in rubber-soled Converse sneakers back in those days. This guy must have had soles made out of steel wool.

... and that is EXACTLY right! I was going to comment that I have been playing my ORIGINAL Swivo pedal for close to 15 years straight now, and it looks PERFECT. Reason? Rubber soles! Just happens to be what I have always preferred. That said, yeah... just WHAT were that guys soles made of??!! I want to add that my model Swivo has the roller bearings, thus... clean/lube from time to time, a new leather strap TWICE in 15 years... and two springs. That's it! It is the smoothest pedal I have ever played... and still is!

Tommy-i mainly played with leather soles on my shoes in those days when i used my swivo full time and that must have been the difference why mine wore down the same way this guys has.He must have also worn leather soles all the time when he played.Interesting to know that rubber soles and sneakers made all the difference in wear on these pedals as opposed to leather.What amazes me is how leather can and will slowly wear down metal over a long period of time and how many foot pedal strokes to do this(millions).I have two swivos and the other one shows no wear but the one i used on the road looks just like this one pictured here.I too love my swivos-best pedals ever IMHO.
