For some reason i could never skate too

well in conventional skate shoes

I bought a pair of Path cats and my shit

was off the hook. The funny thing is these

are more like boots than skate shoes

anybody else notice this.

 

Unfortunatly the rubber is mad soft and

you can only skate in them for so long

before they wear through.

 

You could always check EBAY

I had a pair that made all my white socks go blue.

I think I was about 14 at the time and my mom was

still doing my laundry, so she told me I had to go back

to wearing airwalks because they didnt wrek my socks.

your mom was pretty anal if she worried about you wrecking your socks.

 

 

"but mom, all the other kids have wrecked socks!"

 

"i don't care key, my son is going to have bright white socks even if it kills me!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

back in the early 90's alot of skaters used to rock these:

dunlop volleys

 

they were only about $20 from kmart, so fucking them up was no big deal. i beleive even a few aussie skaters managed to get sponsorship for free volleys from kmart. currently they're experiencing a revival here in mebourne. alot of punkers and surfers are sporting them again. the black on black style are more common these days

Theres a shop down the road that still stocks K1's i think.

I had three pairs of Es Creager's when I was younger, I loved that shoe. Im wearing a danny way dc pro model at the moment, but in need of some new shoes.

 

I liked the Marc Johnson's that emerica brought out.
