Vulcanized soles are re-taking over the skate shoe industry

How do they compare to what's common now, are they way more durable or something, cause I don't really think they look that great.
 
they grip way better than any non vulc sole, its all about board feel. so far i think im the only one in the thread that skates so far, common some one back me up here jeez.
 
uh, yeah i dont really think theyre taking over, theres plenty of skaters who ride just fine with modern style shoes. but are they making a comeback? perhaps. but really, who fuckin' cares?
 
yay but u look at how many companies are coming out with vulk soles now, every company has them, and there all selling like crazy. I was talkin to the vox rep n he showed me there new line and there maby 85% vulk soles.
 
well i can only explain how good a type of skate shoe is to ppl that dont skate to a point.... im JUST saying the amount of vulk sole model shoes companies are comin out with have maby tripled in the last 2 years
 
i have a pair of shoes like that. i dont skate in them tho. i prefer the new style for skatin. (btw mine arent those converse ones)

fallen is big on vulk soles, im skatin the vox hewitt cuz i gettm free, there real sick and thwe break in time is barly anything
 
^ ?the fact that the first like 8 ppl that posted till then wer like whats vulc soles? and if u knoew the new vox lineup ud kno what i was talking about
 
i dunt really like audio or circa but i have seen some decent circas, es has the square one which i love (vulc) and the nike sb 6.0 series is allmost all vulc. so ur beginning to see where im coming from
 
ive found most of the vulc shoes ive skated are quite thin in the sole. sort of like the Vans boardfeel tech or whatever. dont like that, i prefer a thicker sole with just vulc caps
 
isnt most rubber vulcanized now? and i'm pretty sure a shoe doesnt have to have the converse style wrap aroudn teh outside to be vulcanized
 
Vulcanized rubber is natural rubber that has been cured and reticulated from the addition of sulfur and heat.
