Posted: Apr 07, 2005 4:24 pm Post subject: Trashed shoes? |
|
|
Well I bought these shoes probably a month ago. And now they are basically trashed from what it looks like. Do they make any really durable skate shoes? Also do they have something that like covers the laces so they don't get all f'ed up because mine ripped on like the second day, this is my third pair of shoe laces ha.
Any input would be great.
Also, my shoes are Emerica shoes, i don't know what model or anything, i just picked them up at my local skate shop.

Yah shoes are shoes get some with more padding in the kicking area like fr kick flips..Didi you put the laces through both the things on the bottem to laces? you should just put them through the first ones so the flap covers them Thoes shoes like very close to my Osirus.

Yeah I had the laces over the flaps the first few times which caused them to rip, but the still rip even on the other laces, like not just the bottom two

adio kenny andersons are extremely durable and the laces wont rip. they are comfy but the feel on flip tricks suck. id look into them. basically when you gain durability in shoes use lose board feel. its finding a good combination of both that you like. if you want durability tho go with andersons and i got mine for about 30.

The Headless Chicken, the kennys are awesome but mine have recently gotten very crapped out. there is a huge whole in the side and i could see the mesh which gave me an idea. i cut out the sides with just the mesh left and got me a pair of wakeskating shoes ahaha

shoe goo is your friend! I used to put some shoe goo on the sections of my laces that used to take a beating and that solved the torn shoe lace problem.

Emerica Ellingtons.
Sooooooo durable, a little more on the expensive side though
