I’m getting tired of destroying my right shoe,
I skate arround 5km a day everyday and my best pick so far was Decatlon shoes, they are worth 15 bucks which is pretty cheap,
they last me only a couple of month though and then I fin myself walking like a dahu (local folklore beast)
will buying more expensive and dedicated skate shoes buy me some more skatting time or should I keep with the expendable ones ?
Dahu pic for attention: they live on mountain sides and you hunt them by getting behind them and yell at them so they try to turn back and fall down the slope
I’m curious to hear your feedback when you get them, that looks a bit silly ^^’ I’m going to and back from work in skate so I can’t have it looks too weird
Highly recommend freebrake or urethane burners soles. You just glue them onto the soles of whatever shoes you have for superior grip and to get extra life out of your shoes
I will also say that cheap shoes don’t last long at all. I used to run through a new pair every couple of months when I bought shoes at WalMart many many years ago, but ever since I went with name brand shoes I’ve only had to replace them every couple of years. Yes it’s more expensive up front, but they’re also much more comfortable and last way longer.
I’m still skating on the same pair of Vans I got 4 years ago. They’re well worn, but still usable, and they only cost me $40 which isn’t a whole lot more.
Wait do you not have any flat soles for skating? Like I occasionally ride in other stuff (I used to a lot more when I was using the board as mostly a utility thing) but flat shoes are so much better for control for most folks
ahah I don’t,
I tryed skatting with all what I usualy wear from rangers to open sandals
(those ones were actually fine but much to expensive to destroy them every two months)
I finally settled for some Decatlon’s light “hiking shoes” and I find them pretty comfy
