Skate Shoes

[Annabelle.]

Hey guys, I've been skating for a while and my shoes get destroyed so easily and them majority of my socks have holes in them. I often use ShooGoo, but that wears down super quickly and buying a new pair isn't cheap. People I know have recommended a number of companies, but I can't find anything in my size (both length-wise and width-wise because I have a pretty narrow foot). Though I doubt it would exist, is there any grip tape that won't tear up my shoes so quickly? If you want to know, I use Jessup Grip Tape and Almost Grip Tape (which is awful).

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

first off, I would put this in non-ski grabber, but for shoes, I notice that the higher the price for my skate shoes, the longer they last by a huge margin. I dropped $9 on some new Fallen skate shoes that normally cost $80 and they are the most durable skate shoes I have ever used. Then on the other hand I dropped 30 on some vans that were destroyed in a few months.

In the long run, just pay up a bit and you will be happy

I was going to, but I also thought that skate shoes could also count as gear. Sorry about that.

My adidas busenitz have held up a ton, also my lakai guy is a good shoe that has definitely held up.

I have Vans Chima pro's. I love them because they are comfy and pretty durable too.

Get some slip ons, not as tight, but solid board control.

griptape is sandpaper, either have it or not, if your just cruising it might be fine to not have grip tape

Fallen has always been super durable for me, I destroy shoes and got a ton of life out of my last pair.

My busenitz fit great but have been wearing about average
