shoes(help me!)

[Chainlink]

ok the shoes i have were really good skate shoes and they are starting to wear down on the bottom. i'd say that in at most, 2weeks they will have a hole in the bottom. all my grip is gone! i give them about... a week until theres a hole through the bottom!

so i need your advice on some shoes that have lil caps or something over the lace holes so that i dont snap the laces, and a rubber toe cap thing. and i dont want to spend alot on my shoes ether...

hope you can help me! i would be so thankfull

hey chainlink!!!!!!

dude i know i do this alot but man get the adio bams they are soo strong, i am on my third pair i love em, they are comfy and atylish as well as being as hard as dry shit!!! (i crack myself up lol)

so if i was u i would get them!

i think they are like $80 so i dunno how expensive that is or just visit www.adiofootwear.com for them so u can look at em!! oki doki!

[Chainlink]

are those the bam pro v2?? if s then i think they might be what i need. maybe. i dont really like how most of the laces are covered but a few spots are open, i might end up snapping that part..... but i could prbably find a way to fix that... wood glue or something! lol

[Flip Boy]

man they dont ripp

they are like the best shoos ever!!
err yeah they are the bam pro v.2 i have the white and red(the reds much lighter):D

dude get on msn!lol

[AIRZ1]

Yeh get the bams. They're well strong, i had a pair and they lasted for ages. I had a pair of Heath Kircharts and they fell apart well easy, so i tried almost every shop for another pair of bams and nowhere had them. I ended up getting Koston3's and they're well nice!!!!!!!!!!!!:) :)

[Flip Boy]

yeah dave had them forever they are well nice shoos to sk8 in!!!:D

get shoe goo and put it all over the ollie area of your shoe. thats what i did to my yellow d-3s, but that wears off... so every two weeks or so you have to replace it bu it works pretty good

[Matty - Himself]

Ye, Blaze i got some shoe goo also and it performs pretty well, first u wash the bottom of your shoe (sole) and make show it super clean and it comes wit a peice of snadpaper to sand the surface which you are adding to shoe goo to, and then add the shoe goo and in 48 hours it is set to rubber (but it only lasts like a week until you have ta put some more on), so that sucks but you have enough in a tube for like 3 times of use, check it out on rollersnakes.co.uk it's £6,

but anyways shoes well... i own DC Factors and they really great shoes!!!, the only prob is the sole (like wit yours), but the top of the shoeinc. the ollie area is hardly wrecked which is cool (they costed £60) and also try some Adio Bam v2's like Flip Boy said (i here they good),

[Flip Boy]

or u could just get some bams and forget about the shoo goo lol!!


:D :cool: :D ;) :) :( :o

im never gona buy shoe goo... NEVER! one reason... i have stuff that's better! use wood glue. this shit will look horrible on some shoes cus it dries on like yellow(icky yellow) plastic. and it comes off when it gets wet but it works great. i always used it on the laces of my shoes that almost have a hole through them. the laces like absorbed it and then they hardened up and didnt war down as much. dont put alot of this on your shoes or it will ruin them so f*ckin bad that you wont believe it. just put a lil tiny bit on the part of shoe thats wearing, annd if it not enough then put a lil more on. and this doesnt take 2 days to try... more like 15 minutes or less.

this stuff is good but dont bath your shoe in it....

[Flip Boy]

yeah i tryed that its nice and see throught lol good on wite shoos!

[phoenix71]

.... YOU ARE SO RIGHT!
Im not a serious sk8er like some of u people here, but gosh, after working on my ollies for a while, I STARTED TO GET RIPS IN THE HEEL SIDE! I dont know how that happens, i dont slide with my heel.... circas are not very durable anywhere. Worst is on the inside of the shoe, especially in the back :mad:

[psycoskater]

try using scheme from es they are nice shoes

yeah it kinda was a big ollie, BUT i also Puff up my shoes. so it causes a great amount of pressure between the tongue and your foot. so, the tongue just went "Pop!" and came out. (there was only 4 strings holding the tongue 2 the shoe anyway...)

[sKaTiNpUnK]

yeah, sounds, dramatic? lol. my right shoe it's tounge is ripped at the top from all my ollies. i need some shoe goo! hey, where can you get that stuff from anyways?:)

[Flip Boy]

WTF

How the hell in all nation of opc repair units do u rip ur tongue on ya shoos, all i do it rip the olie guard i have never ripped the tongue do u olie with your feet straight or summin, if so i suggest turnig your foos and sliding on ze toe not the tongue INIT!!!:D

[sKaTiNpUnK]

lol don't ask, i'm not an expert on shoe goo, i've never used it in my whole life. so all it does is is protect your shoe?? i'm lost on all this....!:confused: i feel stupid now lol
