What are your fav wakeskate shoes? Which do you think are the best? What are you actually riding in for shoes and do you like them? Right now I'm riding in some cheap walmart shoes an I drilled holes in them, they work I guess, look'n to try sumthin new tho.

Do the Wakeskate spedific shoes really make a difference? Cause right now im using some old Adio Kenny Andersons , and they seem to work well, they dont hold water to much , and they are really comfortable. But my Boardshop has byerly's on sale for like 35 bucks, and i was wondering if it was worth it spending the money.

If your skate shoes work, then just go with that (that's what I use). Also, the cassette team wears dvs' and the milans aren't wakeskate specific (supposedly they might make the dresdens with mesh for wakeskating but I dont think that's definite). Anyway, 35.00 is cheap, so you might want those for a back up once your adio's get stinky and wear out. But wakeskate specific shoes arent' totally necessary.

I just wear my old joggers, and they do the job well. I can't ollie or anything yet though, if that makes a difference.

electricsnow, My shoes are already pretty stinky lol, i mostly ride in the Delta (if you know what is), its basically a big thing of green water where dead body's Shocked

, and submerged cars are found often. Laughing

I actually found 2 half submerged cars last weekend, we were using them for sliders Mr. Green

Yeah, I know what the delta is. I had no idea it was filled with such debris, although it's cool that the cars are working out for you Smile

I've only ridden in one stinky lake and it's filled with weird weeds. Actually, this river I used to ride in has an after-stink. I had ridden in it and I was still wearing my shorts and I had gotten out of my car to go to the grocery store, and when I came back it smelled like cow poo, so there must be some poo run-off in that river....
