Need Skate Shoes

Paulj · 4 Mar 2006 at 15:24

Hey everyone

I remember a thread a while back where some online shops where recommended for buying skate shoes from, but ive searched and cannot find it :confused:

So anyway my vans have fallen to peices and i cant go back to "normal shoes" because of the comfort that skate shoes provide, so im after some DC's or vans, can you lot recommend some websites?

thanks, Paul

EDIT: forgot to mention my feet are huge

size 12, thats why i hate going shopping in "RL" for shoes

Skip Vans/DC's, the quality on these shoes are pish.

I've been totally converted to Etnies for both style, comfort and quality

... try a skate shop?

vans suck for actually skating in if that what you're after. they fall apart way too easily.

Personally Id go for es, lakai or Ipath.

The reason im buying off the net is that skate shops hardly ever have the shoes i want in my size :mad:

I keep googling for these brands but never find any decent shops, links please people

lol @ windle and etnies are awful. so are vans. fall to bits.

go for DC's or Duffs, Top Quality.

My Vans are really poorly made

My Adio's on the other hand are a LOT better.

Loads of places sell them really, just get on google and have a search!

My DC's fell apart before my Vans and my Etnies have outlasted both.

I killed my vans, dcs and etnies. After that i gave up with skate shoes, now i'm trying converse but i'm pretty sure i'll kill those as well.

I think etnies are one of the best skate shoes, out lasted any other make i bought. i quite like my circa aswell.

Globe's 4tw. Especially the mullin sig ones. Any shoe rodney mullen endorses has GOT to be good!

PardonTheWait · 4 Mar 2006 at 17:54

Globes are my favourites too, Etnies close second. I'll echo the comments about Vans, they're pretty poor these days. I do like DCs too though, they're very comfy.

Ronty · 4 Mar 2006 at 17:55

after i shredded 2 pairs of dc's in a year i got some circas and they have lasted me much longer than i expected. good quality shoe.
