vulcanization

[R.W.T.F]

can anyone give me the low down?(i know what it is, but is there a difference as compared to a non-vulcanized shoe)

[China Skate]

Vulcanized shoes are usually thinner, more grip, rip easier, less impact absorbtion, more control of the board, the good stuff. Some like them, some don't.

[R.W.T.F]

thanks bro, i've been thinking about trying some vulcanized shoes and wanted to tie up a few ?'s

[China Skate]

Anytime. I'd recommend you ask someone on RR about vulcanized shoes that skates them alot, like spenser.

[danielb]

Vulcanized shoes are all I skate. What brands are you leaning towards?

[Dookie416]

i hate vulcanized shoes. honestly, who gives a shit if you can feel your board better, i wouldn't want a shoe that would last me 1 month tops and kill your feet on stairs.

[HailToTheThief]

who gives a shit if you can feel your board better

A lot of people :)

[VanillaSkater]

How do you know if your shoes are vulcanized or not? I'm guessing Vans are vulcanized right?

[sk8rjohn7]

eS Square Ones are vulcanized :]

[R.W.T.F]

well i was thinkin about some reynolds 3's, fallen cheifs, osiris chinos or tnt2's
out of those choices would anyone be preferable? and Dookie, i think i get what your sayin. i tried my friends vans old skools and I wasnt to sure if I liked it. but i think Im gunna try a pair of my own

[China Skate]

I'd get the Cheifs.

[markalcalde]

[Dookie416]

Those are pretty good choices. I just recently started to prefer mid to hi top vulcanized shoes. I really liked my Emerica Francises (once I got some new insoles). They have mid-top chinos too I think. Just try stuff out.

I'm Gay. I've got TNTII's they're very good.

they are not vulcanized buddy, i googled them. and why are 26 years old on your myspace?

[spenser]

Old Skools aren't really Vulc. I've got TNTII's they're very good.
old schools are. i think youre thinking no skools.. no skools have vulcanized styling, but its not vulcanized. its really good too, though.

i also have tnt2s.. the brown/white ones. yes, theyre very good.

[R.W.T.F]

has anybody seen the new chris cole shoes? they are vulanized and seem like they would be good.i have the troopers now and love em.i think i would try them when they come out for the public

[R.W.T.F]

wow I called that. they just came out today, they are on ccs. my mom said i might be able to order them, but i need to wait for saturday. in the mean time I would like some opinions on them.

[Mindcrime]

I've never skated them but they look a little plain too me.

[periL]

If you want Vulcanized shoes Dekline makes some really comfortable ones.

I <3'd reynolds 3, Ive heard chiefs are nice, just try them on and see which one you like better

[Hov32]

I don't know if they are vulcanized or not but I'm wearing Vans Fairlines right now and they are the best shoes iv'e ever had. Sure, I've had to shoe goo the toes but they are really comfortable.

[Bakerbum211]

I have a pair of chiefs.

And WOAH! I love them.

[PeeWeeSkater]

i personally hate vulcanized shoes, some people like them. but i have a feeling youll be upset after u skate stairs or any big drops. my heels hurt so bad, i was having trouble walking...im never gonna get vulcanized shoes again. i had the chiefs. oh and ur thinking of the rippers (coles new shoe), they are even thinner than the chiefs (what i heard from cole's friends). DONT GET THEM. get another pair of troopers. theyre the best...in my opinion.

[FireFreek]

it depends what you like. if your one of those kids who think they need G2 stuff and a 2 inch thick sole or your feet will hurt, don't go with vulc shoes.

if your a kid who knows what matters in a skate shoe, try a vulc shoe.

The chiefs own. What are you talking about? I've done huge drops in them and i didnt feel ANYTHING.

[R.W.T.F]

well I ordered them (the rippers) a week ago from CCS but they are on backorder. they should ship on the sixtenth and be here in a few days
I do alot of sets and I dont think my feet will hurt much, ive done a 3 barefoot once, It wasnt to bad for a landing, but my feet hurt to ollie, but anyway, I think Im gunna love the Rippers

[PopwarPerson]

out of those shoes u listed above ive had reynolds 3's and i have chiefs now..my next pair is tnt 2's....ilove my chiefs..good padding for vulcanizedshoes.

[DVSkid94]

I usually only skate vulcanized but at the moment I am thinking if I should get the fallen trooper or not. I don't want to lose boardfeel and control.And the TNT2 are good.
