Which Shoe To Buy

[fulltiltskater]

I have no clue which shoes are the best. (price, durability, style, overall) Can you help me?:confused:

i hear duffs are good and dont cost too much...osiris shoes always maintain high quality standards along with dc's but dont get vans as the are poorly made and dont last long...there is a new vans range, i dont know if they are any good but the older models arent good atall

Never get Airwalks, they use to be the standard of skateboard shoes but they were bought over by Nike and Hawk quit riding for them.

I've got a pair of Globes Chet Thomas but they're very expensive and the soles are really mushy and aren't lasting long at all.

I'm currently trying a pair of Emerica's, they seem fairly decent so far.

Just go get a pair that's on sale, last years or whatever. Don't ever go pay full price for them because you're getting ripped off like mad :mad:

Soon skaters will have to be wearing rubber boots because I don't know about you guys but I can't afford $150 shoes every 2 months.

That's what I do. At my local shop, they often have unpopular colors and stuff like that for $60. I got a pair of Kostons, and the Globe RmS3's for that much. Actually, they both look awesome- I think they were just trying to sell them off. Regularly, the Koston's cost $96, and the Mullen's are $89. They probly have to make room for new stuff. Also, try shopping in the spring. That's usually when all the new stuff comes out, so you can get older stuff cheap.

I just got the new Emerica Heretic. I'm pretty impressed with it so far and it's only around $50. Of course these are the only pair of skateshoes I've owned so I wouldn't know too much.

I just got the Osiris Heltas and they ROCK......Get these. They are cheap also.
