New shoes?

[Skatevid2]

ripped a nice whole in the toe of mine pretty fast.

anyone know a brand in mind with a nice toe that wont rip quick?
im definitly in need of them

[Jude12]

im rocking a pair of neon blue Perry Mid etnies right now.

I also heard Supra's are very good and strong for the soles. (skytops), or Lakai Manchesters.

adidas campus vulc

i have the high tops but they make them low too

[aggroman_]

The several pairs of Fallen's I've ridden in have stood up pretty well in the toe area. They arent vulcs though.

[Skatevid2]

thanks guys. ill take a look.
i do like fallens..

[amp93]

high heels always suit me

[ChvyVele]

I'm not gonna lie, I have a pair of DC Dyrdek's (I think...) and they've held up really well. I only started skating them cause they were on clearance and I needed shoes bad and I thought they would suck, but they're actually really good.

[Anjo606]

haha exactly. My friend skates with some eckos (why?) and had holes, LOTS, and duct taped them. I give props to him for even wearing them to school

I can remember when Duct- taped shoes were a sort of status symbol--meant you were a true skater. --That, and shoe-goo.

Either that or you can't afford shoes .

i have the lakai manchesters selects and they're one of the best shoes i've had. im about to order the recycled manchesters soon.

[Embers BLS]

i just picked up some circa AL 5.0's on clearance.... $20.
so far so good. about a month, no tears.
skating about every other day, at least a couple hours at a time.

i never spend more than $30 on shoes. lol

[Skatevid2]

im gonna have to check out those Lakai Manchesters. heard good things.


strong toe?

[ChvyVele]

Dude I just got some Lakai Manchesters today, skated for two hours with them so far and absolutely no rip or anything. Awesome shoe.

[Skatevid2]

great news. keep a status report for me would you?

[ERIKDOTCOM]

About the whole duct tape thing, my friend skates in Converse and buy the time he decided to get new shoes, the only part of the shoes that weren't duct taped were the soles and slight remnants of the sides of the shoes.

[Skatevid2]

they should sell $5 duct-tape shoes at target or something...

[ERIKDOTCOM]

Yeah, for real. I'd buy 'em.

[Tubilakken]

I also got a pair of Lakai manchester select.... haven't skated in them yet... but the walk like a champ i mean right out of the box... love them so fare

[Skatevid2]

the toe is ripped open pretty good right.
and its at the 'whatever' stage. so im skating with them, working on backside flips cuz i suck at em, and the WHOLE TOE, like the entire front flap, just opens up!

wth man?! hows that even happen? haha
duct tape time.
