Skate Shoes Suck

[NotedDerk]

I always go for the 'big' puffy type skate shoes, like dvs has, just 'cause I feel they'll last longer. Look a lot better as well.
They all seem to develop the same wear and tear though, it's mainly your approach to how they become destroyed.
I usually get a small hole on the bottom where my big toe is from adjusting my feet too much on my board.

For example,




Seriously can't stand shoes that look like this, from any brand...yuck

If your shoes wear out in the heel area inside the shoe, I warmly recommend these Swedish delicacies. The inside of the shoe including the heel is made by pig skin; it won't wear out.

Skate shoes in general are a fucking lottery. Griptape does mean damage to any shoe, yet I still can't help to think that shoe companies could make super durable shoes if they wanted, but won't because worn out shoes = new shoes = profit. Maybe I'm just pessimistic.

I have three pairs of Lakai Manchester selects (blue, red, black)
and I love them for walking around in

I haven't skated in the longest, I remember that they rip easy but they're still really good for skating in

Vans Authentics. They're so light, flexible and thin. It feels like theres almost nothing between me and the board, especially since i always skate in them without socks.
They dont last long at all, but i really like the feel.

Maybe Adio isn't a company anymore but their shoes are still around
I got 2 pairs for pretty cheap at the local shoe store.. I wouldn't recommend them personally.
I don't think I'll be going any bigger in shoe size, I like them to be snug with tight shoelaces.
Starting to just think a thin shoe that grips, is a thin shoe that rips..
My Personal Preference, Skinny shoes are pretty comfy when I ride but they never last.
Now that I think about it I believe my Fallen Troopers lasted longest.
I've never skated in DVS Shoes.
Nike SB's are old man, are they still making new shoes?
I always thought Nike SB Shoes looked sick. They Look Pretty damn Flashy most of them, but durable look to em too.

I got these free from EA so I wouldn't enter anymore contests. I would of never bought them but I'm sold on quarter tops or whatever they're called. I love these shoes and they hold up great




Just got theese for being in my buddies wedding. They are super fat fresh but they will never touch grip tape

The es accel had my favorite toe on a skate shoe, but now I've been skating in Nike sb's. I have to say they are the most comfortable shoes I've skated in, although most of their toes run invite narrow than I like, but they last quite well and I really like the blazes Vulcan sole. It feels thick but you can feel your board. Recently I've been skating some es square ones Ive had for a while and put an Nike insole in them, best combo ever.

What the fuck are you even talking about? I just copped a pair last week.



By the way this photo I took got like 10,000 notes on Tumblr out of nowhere. Fun fact haha

Buying a shoe with a Nike symbol on the side of it seems to go against everything skating came from.

It's not a propper shoe thread unless this



Pawn has sweet shoes
