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.
