About to glue mine on tonight.

One of the best investments you can make in the longboarding hobby..

Word. They make shoes last forever and save you SO much money. Went from buying a new shoe everytime I killed its sole to buying a new sole everytime I kill a sole. But perhaps I just brake too much....

[assumeivan]

Seriously dude..you footbrake through your new shoe you buy at a store..once you feel like it's nearing death you get one of these and the lifetime of your shoe goes from 2 months to 6 months..

Damn silent footbraking too..

I'm excited to get these if they're still available, definitely need to add somethin to my braking sole

Archaeo-bumping....

Just got some soles. They look and smell terrific. What's the latest wisdom on the best adhesive to use?

[lollygag]

The only way.. DAP or 3M contact cement.. painted on with a brush fairly thin.. let completly tack.. almost dry.. touch em on and go get em strait they wont move again. grind or razor off they edges. best results.. wear a new shoe down a bit brakeing.. then i grind the sole perfectly flat through the tread.. bout 1/8 or more. then your shoes are closer to even and as you wear the soles off and they wear 3 times as fast as the shoe sole.. but stop you faster youll have the perfectly flat shoe sole to grind flat again and reglue.

I take the time to put em on all my skate shoes when theyre brand new.. you dont wanna get that hole in the middle or burn through the sole first so i can wear em all the time and be ready to shred on the kids..

[assumeivan]

Contact cement is probably the best.

Put CC on both the footbrake sole and your sole, align it, put footbrake sole on. Let it dry completely.

show goo works well for me

i would do it when they are new, broken in is hard to get a flat bottom full contact

[Archy]

I bought them to rescue a few hole-in-the-sole shoes that died before their time, but it sounds like I should also slap them on the newish, pre-destroyed pair I just got. Thanks!

[lollygag]

i wasted all that

[blackkross]

Hey looks like nice stuff!

Could you contact me on info@blackkross.fr with some distrubutor prices?
