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.
Shred with Confidence: The Perfect Skateboarding Shoes Await
By prioritizing the features discussed in this guide, you can choose skateboarding shoes that perfectly match your riding style and skill level. Remember, the right shoes can significantly enhance your comfort, board control, and overall skateboarding experience. So, invest in a quality pair, shred with confidence, and land those tricks with style!

20 years ago I pretty much gave up skating at the age of 4. (broken hip) Yes, I still skated down the street to check out the surf but that was about it. So.. I always feel a little guilty buying skate shoes. (i started buying cheap running shoes) A month ago I skated a little bowl at one of the local skateparks and had a blast.So for my 60th birthday I figured I'm cool enough to start buying skate shoes again. On the practical side there aren't many shoes that will last longer than a pair of well made Skate Shoes.Etnies is one of the original skate brands, and still skater owned to this day.
I'm in love with these shoes. Haven't took them off since I bought them. Going to need a few more pairs for when these Wear out, which I do not expect soon at all. Since when does Ernie do a colab with Michelin tires??? Now 😍🤗 the grip on these things r amazing.
Great experience! It was just what I expected, they have just arrived and I have them on. I hope to know what will happen in a month and I upload another review.
These shoes are so comfortable. I mostly wear Vans but wanted something different. When I saw these Etnies in all pink I had to have them. I like them because they don’t have that super “puffy” stubby look and the pink is what sold me . Look really good on and match a lot of clothes. The pink is a nice tone. Not crazy pink. I’m 50 and rocking them!
Right shoe was tighter than the other. Very uncomfortable, actually painful. But i needed shoes ASAP. So i kept them hoping they will break in. After a couple days of wearing a bandaid on my pinky toe, they are starting to fit better. The bottom tread is super cool, and made by Michelin tires. Will see how they hold up. Will update later
Great skate shoe fit to size so my foot is a 9 I got a 9 and it fit perfect it's got strange flick for heelflip but amazing flick for kickflip
