I got ive just expierenced the worst shoes of my life. Enites ARTO SAARI 's are the worst shoes ive had. Ive been skating pretty hard in them and i have bruised heels and lumps just to the side of the ball of my foot. I have only been skating 5-10 sets and they have killed my feet atm after skating all day i have big black lumps on my heels. How can they bring out a shoes like this :(
Any enough of me *****in, i need some new shoes any suggestions i mainly skate stair sets and rails?

If you can skate 5-10 sets I thought you'd already have previous experiences with skate shoes :confused:
Oh well...Fallens are really good...Comfy and very durable. C1rcas are good. ES I haven't tried but hear good things about them. I-paths last a long long time.

you should know what shoes you like by now.......es are good, if you dont want heel bruises try the DVS Kapsules, they are supposed to be good for heel impact control

no matter the shoes... skate a lot of sets bigger than 7, and keep bailing, you are going to bruise your heels.

Thank you! Bailing, for me, is the only way to bruise your heels badly. Come on dude, think about it. Arto skates the Artos, and he's skating much gnarlier stuff than you. Just stop bailin! If you really want to stop bruising your heels yet keep bailing, I would probably recommend you put some dr scholls or something in ur shoes or somethin to maybe lessen the impact a bit on ur feet.

I-Path, Emericas, fallen, and 88s are all good for heel impact and such. They are durable and comfy. I am hating on es now because i was skating my friends Accels and the ripped. He didnt care though because i skate switch and hes regular. But im not very impressesd with es. And shouldnt the artos work fine? They have like 6 inches of rubber on the bottom.

If you want a really good reliable skate shoe, go with Eric koston es's get the first model if you can find them. NEVER buy I-Path 1985's i have owned a pair and my foot came through the bottom when i came down on my board and numerus people i know have owned them and had the worst luck also.

Etnies are some of the worst shoes in my opinion but than again no one cares about poor old jeff...I love my es' shoes and will probably not buy anything else unless of course they go out of business or if the stores dont have them.
