>Post your favorites
>Talk shit about others
>muh board feel vs muh support
>Nike is killing skateboarding
>Vans fall apart after a week
I've always liked the look of HUF's shoes but people say they're shit quality
>muh top cap
i guess they're supposed to defend against kickflip toe but they look pretty clowny
busentiz one of the more down-to-earth skaters i ve had the pleasure of meeting
These help remind me not to take fashion too seriously
i mean these were the fucking HEIGHT of skate fashion at one point
had these, fell apart in like 2 months
wold not recommend
apparently these are nice
>>11177911
holy shit I remember wanting those so bad (in a much worse colorway) as a kid
almost bought these HUF's but some anon from /asp/ told me they are shit
>muh board feel
NB team is nice but never seen anybody skate the shoes
>>11177897
Ok finally a thread to ask this.... Can somebody enlighten me on which vans old skools to get. Are the pros better? Do they last that much longer? How are the his compared to the lows? Will the hi's be too hot for summer? What about the 'lite' highs? Lastly i've heard complaints about the lack of suede sides on the old skools this season... is it really that bad?
>>11177932
they are shit i agree, but they look good for the week or two of skating you can get out of them
>>11177976
what if i suck? as in can barely fliptrick suck
>>11177936
i cant stand this shit
>>11177980
oh well then yeah go for for it! they will last pretty long, but they do blow out in the Ollie hole area the fastest, so you might need shoe goo if you Ollie a lot. But they look dope! i have two pairs so i say buy em!
>>11177899
had these, they are aboslute trash. top five worst shoes ive ever skated
>>11177903
toecaps are played out imo
>>11177918
i want to try these not gonna lie, i guess disregard what i say about toecaps? lol
>>11177967
ive skated them, they are really good, they look narrow but they are the complete opposite, so if u have wide feet get em
>>11177899
Yeah I have a white pair of those and the canvas ripped when I was sliding them on without untying the laces. Bullshit n never again. They look fucking sexy though.

>busenitz
Have these can confirm they are pretty good
I really liked the pair I had of pic related.
I found them to be very comfortable and appealing aesthetically.
>>11177967
I like them and they have become my main skating shoe; besides converse. My favorite are the Pj Strafords then the new ProCourts. The Brighton are good, but just not me. Quincys are nice but as for the Artos; I haven't tried those yet.

bump this question
I skate in these
Been skating in them for about 3 months now and all I have are some scuffs on the leather.
Why do more people not skate in these?
>>11179209
Pic related, had the shoes for about 3 years before I started skating in them
been wearing machesters for a while
yo
the last pair of 'skate shoes' i had were like 12 bucks from kmart and lasted for years
i couldnt find em anymore
so
i can get vans relatively cheap compared to other main brands
and im in australia so i dont really have that much choice
not only that, but i've got real fuckin wide feet
what're some decent skate shoes for fuckers with wide feet like me? cupsole and preferably vans/nike/adidas

Are DC shoes any good in terms of style?
>>11179418
>lakai
no stores anywhere nearby that sell them
and i dont buy online
>>11179425
DC seems to be stuck in the late 90s/early 2000's "big obnoxious shoe" mindset
they have some OK ones but most of them are loud and ugly
>>11177899
And for those who dont want them to skate??
Also whats your opinion about someone who wears a skate shoes like Fallen or Emerica but he doesnt skate?
>>11177897
vans get a lot of shit but im so used to chukka lows that its hard for me to skate in anything else
Skating these atm
>>11179805

>Also whats your opinion about someone who wears a skate shoes like Fallen or Emerica but he doesnt skate?
i coudln't care less
but i just question your motives ; are you wearing skate shoes to get the 'skater' look or because you can't find any other good shoes
lastly there are tons of people who are dicks and always jump on the "DO YUO EVEN SKATE BRO" train but ignore them
>>11177897
20y guy that wants to learn how to skate
are vans alright?
>>11180239
yes they're the go-to cheap shoe
aren't super long-lasting but if you're just starting out, it doesn't matter
>>11180239
>>11180251
any shoes will get fucked up if ur skating. the key is not to buy a really expensive shoe thats supposed to last forever, cause it wont. and dont buy a cheap shoe that will last a day or youll be spending a lot of $ on replacements. instead find something in the middle that is gonna look good when its beat up. i think vans old skools are the best, or sk8 his if you want the ankle protection. i prefer the classics, but the pro versions extra cost is definitely justifiable.
Just copped these puppers and I'm feeling pretty great about them.
Now as long as someone doesn't tell me they look awful and I'm not effay I'm going to stay happy with them, so watch how you reply to me, you hear?
>>11180412
are the hi's too hot for summer?
I have these. Pretty much indestructible
>>11179425
>>11179788
Not true, DC has a lot of thinner shoes
I dunno how people skate vans, quality has been garbage recently. Currently skating these, normally I think Huf is really gay, but these were cheap and didn't look retarded with a big rubber toe
>>11180424
Vans aren't even skate shoes anyone, only people I know who regularly share vans are sponsored by them. At this point you associate white girls wearing white classics with vans more than to do actual skating
>>11180509
I actually really like some of DC's newer shit, I skate Matt Miller's pro shoe and it's easily my favorite skate shoe right now
>>11177911
Pretty sure those were the shoes jenkem referred to as sharing the aesthetics of 'a cyberpunk potato'
>>11180439
Not really, Sk8-hi's have been my everyday shoe for the past year and a half, perfect all year round
>>11180807
Oh I don't skate at all I just thought this would be an appropriate thread
>>11177958
Built to last but the pair I bought last year had issues with the tongue staying in place, very annoying. They also take forever to break in.
>>11177911
Guy from DIME rocking them today

You're the worst

The flyers go on a deep sale sometimes, around 10 dollars if you look hard enough.
