About Skateboarding Shoes
Shred with Confidence: The Ultimate Guide to Skateboarding Shoes
Skateboarding is a sport that demands both style and function. Skateboarding shoes are more than just footwear; they're an extension of your board, allowing you to shred with confidence and control. With a vast array of styles and features available, choosing the perfect pair of skateboarding shoes can feel overwhelming. Fear not, aspiring shredders! This ultimate guide will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the world of skateboarding shoes, ensuring you find the perfect pair to match your riding style and keep you comfortable conquering those tricks.
Built to Last: Durability is Key for Skateboarding Shoes
Skateboarding involves wear and tear on your shoes. Here's what to prioritize for long-lasting performance:
- Sturdy Materials: Look for shoes made from high-quality materials like suede or canvas, known for their durability and resistance to abrasion.
- Double Stitching: Reinforced stitching, especially around the toe box and seams, adds extra strength and extends the lifespan of your shoes.
- Vulcanized Construction: This construction method bonds the sole directly to the upper, creating a flexible and board-feel sensitive shoe ideal for skateboarding.
Grip It and Rip It: Traction Matters in Skateboarding Shoes
Maintaining control on your board is crucial. Here's what to consider for optimal traction:
- Sole Pattern: A herringbone tread pattern is a popular choice for skateboarding shoes, offering excellent grip on various surfaces.
- Sticky Rubber: The quality of the rubber compound in the sole plays a significant role. Look for shoes with sticky rubber for maximum grip on your board.
Ankle Support: Finding the Balance Between Comfort and Protection
Ankle support is a personal preference in skateboarding shoes. Here's a breakdown of the options:
- High-Top Shoes: These shoes offer maximum ankle support, ideal for beginners or those who prioritize stability during landings and tricks.
- Low-Top Shoes: These shoes provide a more lightweight and comfortable feel, preferred by experienced skaters who value flexibility for board control.
- Mid-Top Shoes: These offer a compromise between ankle support and flexibility, suitable for skaters who want a balance of both.
Comfort Counts: Shredding Shouldn't Hurt Your Feet
Comfort is essential for long skate sessions. Here's what to consider for a comfortable fit:
- Proper Sizing: Ill-fitting shoes can lead to blisters and fatigue. Get professionally sized for skateboarding shoes, considering factors like width and arch support.
- Breathable Materials: Your feet will get hot during a skate session. Choose shoes made from breathable materials like mesh panels to keep your feet cool and dry.
- Break-in Period: Give your new skateboarding shoes some time to adjust to your feet. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in before hitting the skatepark.

User Reviews
I ordered the Green and White shoe only because it was the less expensive one and the price was what I could afford. At first I was unsure about these shoes because I haven't had much luck with slip on shoes in the past because they are always to narrow on my foot, in the toe box area, and squeeze my foot making it very uncomfortable. Even after breaking in slip-on shoes for awhile it really never changed the comfort. I needed something to replace my flip flips/sliders and I decided on these to try out slip-on shoes once more. These really turned out to be a great shoe and surprised me. I wear a 11.5 in shoes and that's what i ordered in these based on amazons fitting suggestion. In my experience slip-ons usually run narrow and long so I usually have to wear a size smaller to prevent slippage of the heel otherwise the shoe is too big. The toe box on these is not so narrow that it squeezes your foot but its not something I would say that is as wide as a regular basketball shoe, walking/running shoe, or cross trainer. Its not narrow like Sperry's or other slip on shoes that are similar to this. This shoes fits my foot great not only in the toe box area but also the width seems to be a great fit. Since I order my normal size there is a little room in the heel area but it doesn't cause any rubbing of the heel from slippage that I'v notice from the times I've wore them. I'm sure wearing socks with these will fill that void but they are comfortable without socks as well. I have wore these without socks on short outings and walked around shopping for a couples hours and I don't have any complaints. The shoes seems to have great traction which is important to me, and are very light on my feet. These slip-ons don't have that fake rubber that makes you feel your feet will slip if you step the wrong way. I don't have a wide foot but my feet aren't exactly narrow either and these shoes are very comfortable. It is a little difficult to just slip my feet into them like I would sliders, but I think after breaking them in it may become easier to slip on with a little bit of wiggling force. I wear them when I'm too lazy to put on regular shoes, which maybe become more often because I really enjoy wearing these. I didn't think I would like the color I selected but after wearing them I've really grown to like them and the color isn't bad looking. I don't wear Etnies but i will wear these a lot, and I would buy these again. I would like to buy more in the other colors but amazon's prices on these is a little steep for me unless you catch a good deal on them like I did these.
I'm a DC skate shoe person, but by mistake I ordered these. I was going to send them back but I tried them on. I was amazed they fit comfortable with our with out socks. They last longer and look good. I still like DC's but I have a another choice today
Not the most comfortable right out of the box, but they are starting to break in nicely. I paid 13 bucks for these and that's a fantastic deal. The look good for sure, but I think they are a tad narrow. Still easily worth 13 dollars.
Nice cushioned soles. A little small.
Too small, hard to put on and the shoes makes a paper crinkling sound when you wear them.
looks good but cuts into back of heel
Perfect pair of shoes for casual outings. Fit as expected, decent arch support, & cushioned enough to be a daily walker.I’d buy another pair, no question.
Not for wide feet.
