i ride kswiss the ones that look like classic adidas they are amazing and cheap and they last i put 2 soles in them so they feel like elyts the sole that came whith it and a pair of soles from my rebok reflexs . the shoe has to be broken in at the top of the toes to do foot jams tho

I ride Converse skate shoes and they are the best shoes I have ridden as far as padding and such. Nike 6.0's, Janoskis, and Adio's have all done well for me as well.

I love Vans, but they just don't last long.

DVS went bankrupt :(

And you guys talking Janoski's are sheep. They are the worst shoes to ride in.

Best shoes i've ever had are Nike SB OMAR SALAVAR's

OMG PUDWILL FOR SB

but ive only had them for 2 weeks, but so far janoskis are my favorite shoes ever, next comes sb dunk mids. just get sbs.

salazars suck. you either go with the blazers, the janoskis, or the dunks. 6.0 is a wannabe sb. prods aren't good, no matter how much air max they have. whoever talks shit on janoskis obviously ride ski and rip up the insides from the brake.

Nope.
They suck, unless your scooter never leaves your feet.
And you're lucky, my shoes last a month like clockwork.

my last janoskis wore through the sole on the ball of my pushing foot after a year of riding. they're good.

im not impressed with the new bullshit nike zoom ones though. the original SB were good.

My janoskis have lasted me a couple months with almost no wear on the bottom and I bomb hills and stuff a lot

My experience with vans and etnies, Thinking about some lakais or nike

Vans: Feel nice, look nice, sole lasts but the sides rip
Etnies: Feel alright, looks good, hard to rip, sole wears

double post but i disagree. i had accels a while ago and the bottom literally fell off in a month..

That's crazy, considering Es Accels were pretty much the most perfect shoe ever made. All black accels were the go to shoe back in the day, and still are for people that can find them. So comfortable, triple stitched and none of that vulcanized bullshit. For under 45 bucks you can't go wrong with OG accels.

Yerp. Best shoes I've ever had. Too bad they're done now =(
Still can't believe that Es went under. Why couldn't it have been Etnies?

Salazars arent 6.0 pal. They are SB..... Obviously you don't know your shoes...

But Janoskis to me last as long as a pair of Vans Authentics. I also do not ride ski.
