Skateboarding shoes

To perform skate tricks like ollies or kick flips, a rider needs to scrape their foot against the deck’s grip tape–which gradually damages shoes. For this reason, skateboarding shoes are specially-designed with durable materials to withstand more abuse.

What makes skateboard shoes so unique?
• An air pocket in the heel
• Thick plastic/rubber lining protection on the heel and toe
• Flat soles
• Shoelace protectors

In the past 10 years, skateboard shoes have become increasingly popular for non-skaters. Many people not only find them fashionably hip, but they also like how durable the shoes are.
