ok i am getting new shoes and i am wondering if addidas sambas are as good as any other skate shoe like nike sb or 6.0s for long boarding if there is a good shoe in particular tell me

help apprecieated

Walk down to Big5 or your local sporing good sports and buy some cheap 19.99 running shoes like filla or new balance on sale...seem like a horrible idea but i bought a pair for 20 bucks and the soles like..never wear down. and if they do it seriously takes forever..thats if your looking to spend cheap

[SpeedDemon8]

Vans old eras FTW!!

Totally!!!! Vans are the way to go...i've got 5 pairs. my DD 66's lasted me an entire year untill I footbraked for a hella long distance. Other than that the Chucka lows are a good shoe. They have extreme grip on the board and look nice with anything. Can't go wrong with the Canvas vans either. They're perfect for any situation.

the best ive found are loteks, theyre bmx shoes in nature but they have lots of durable rubber on em, perfect for us boarders a tad bit expensive, but an amazing investment i promise you

I do that for my shoes. my new balances never wear down, although they suck to play basketball in. I also bought some cheap shaqs from pay less shoes the actual soles didn't last long but after attaching a new sole i found the new sole rubber lasts very long.

I stand by my DVS Original Intents and my Fallens. Both are fantastic. Spent a weekend walking around Seattle, and not a single problem. Not to mention lots of boarding =]

a very good, knowledgeable friend recommended these and we're both wearing our own pairs now:

do you think the dvs's would work well with someone with a wide, non arched foot? cuz i was looking at them but wasnt sure cuz they have a big arch

Ummmm. Idk. I don't have wide feet, and I don't think I have very big arches. Sorry I couldn't be of any assistance.

longboarding specific shoes?! why are they not on my feet right now?!

anyways i wouldnt recommend circas.i had some circa hightops a while ago and the soles got completely torn up by footbraking.too bad i learned to slide after they started making holes in my socks id also like to know whether nike 6.0s are any good,keeping in mind that i brake alot commuting around the city.

Iv been riding in my nike 6.0s for about a year, I dont usually foot break unless im being extremly carful on an unknown hill, I usually drag my entire foot flat on the ground and a friend uses his toe, friends shoes go out in like a week, mine have been perfectly fine and i havnt had any problems with my soles.

comfort and ankle support wise, how are vans half cabs?

yes, soles suck, but I seriously can't wear those chunky skate shoes.

[SpokaneGravity]

Bump!

It depends on the day for me. If I'm going for a short session I'll grab my Converse. If I plan to go all day and cruise the park I'll wear my Ipath Cats (black hemp). The Ipaths are sweet, nice ankle support and you can't beat hemp.

pumas man pumas
drift cats or speed cats
once broken in they are amazing flexible grippy light
you can wrap your toes over the edge of your board, feels like nothings there...except the board of course!!
my shoe of choice

[kom617]

I'm thinking about getting some cheap airspeed sherwoods from wal-mart

I love the fit of my halfcabs but they break apart

[GatedFlatz]

I like Circa's my hightops were the **** but unfortunatley after a year of use they died in California from my downhill shopping cart run. I have another pair now and I still love em, comfy and easy to feel the board on. They are a tad expensive but worth it.

[Dustee]

i wear authentic vans they are uncomfortable at first and hurt doing ghost rides but besides that after you break them in its smooth riding all day

That's what I wear, well that and toms... the only problem I have with em' is when they get cold they are stiffer then a muthafkr. and they rip real easily. but for 20 bucks I can't complain

[spinner400ex]

Nike dunk 6.0 with the zig zag bottom are great. There is deap grooves to give you extremely long life and Ive taken them to the Adrenilina skate marathon and snow skating and there is still no sign of wear. plus the canvis top ones are perfect for not getting warm and keeping your feet dry. Best skate shoe and soul ive ever seen, used or heard of.

[K-SHIZZ]

dude, I just got some vans, low top that I absolutely love. the tread is a good vulcanized rubber and is slightly indented, sort of like concave for the shoe so it makes the edges of the shoe stiff and grippy which is amazing for slides/standys/drifts
