When I bought my directly from John at Dump Rd, he had at hand both "old school" and "new school " soles. new schools were for the modern wider skate shoes. and old school were more narrow mean for vans slip ons, converse chucks, and your sk8 hi's.

Just be sure to ask.

Good deal.

I have one on my braking show now. They break nice, and so far seem like they'll last for a while. It's like having a new shoe.

I was just thinking how I hoped somebody would do this so I would not have to cut up a tire. Where can you order these?

Contact me for the soles at rogersbenner@aol.com I can answer other questions as well if needed. Sorry if you haven't been answered from the site contact info.
Let me know shoe size/type and quantity of soles and then I can send you an invoice through Google. This material is good for speedboarding, but for luge I use actual retread material. I have some of that material if you need it. Contact me for pics and prices on the 1/2'' retread. Most luge guys tend to wear their heels first and this 1/4" material wears too rapidly for luge application, because braking isn't applied as flat and even as it is in speedboarding.
If you are in the local area and need a sole, I can glue it up at no extra cost. Just see me at a local spot on the weekend. If the weather is decent, these 1/4" soles bond up and can be used in as little as 30 minutes.

That is a way good deal. I will probably end up buying some soon. I have been thinking. Maybe it would be possible to get velcro like people use for sliding gloves with the factory grade glue and put it on some shoes and on these so that when they wear out you can just swap them eh?

Blackmore · 10-13-2007, 12:13 AM

Has anyone seen the Nike tennis shoes with replacable soles, they fit over the shoe kinda, i thought that that would be an awsome idea for longboarding

omgodukildkenny · 10-13-2007, 07:10 AM

fineout · 10-15-2007, 01:23 PM

I rode with some Florida lugers who said this was the way to go.. Industrial strength velcro sticks to near anything, and with a contact patch as big as a shoe I'm sure it'll hold just fine.
