shoe shopping

[Redline123]

hello ppl. i am wondering. is etnies a good bmx shoe? i am planning to get some new grippier ones.
:rolleyes:
the reason im doing this is bcause my shoes now arent very grippy and im learnin to bunnyhop

[premiumbmx2005]

im pretty sure theres already a thread for this. (i like vans for riding)

I had the etnies callicut and the sides literally ripped off from riding. I would recomend for grip probouly vans. I had a pair of old-schools that had great grip.But Etnies are geared more for stlyle then performance in my opinoin that is.

dont get new shoes just so you can bunny hop.....your ones right now are good for now...wait till your feet come through the sole.

as far as i know any sort of decent skate shoe works well. just make sure to get ones that are stitched around the outside instead of having the sole just glued on.

inopia shoes have been good for me. thay havent ripped any, the sole hasnt separated from the shoe or anything else. grippy too

Dc Shoes Work Great.

im just gonna get some nice etnies if they wear out ill get normal departement shoes or vans

[bmx handyman]

Emerica tilts. well priced. the favourite shoe of many skateboarders, and my favourite too. hold up well for skateboarding and skaters are really hard on thier shoes. should be good for bmx, they were for me.

ok i got a red etnies callicut and pretty much every piece is sewn on. should last for awhile :D .

I guess that they don't have Nortenos or Bloods in Sheboygan.

Ok, well its not a shoe for bmx, but, I got some Globe CT-IV(4 for u bone heads) and they grip like none freakin other!

I have vans, they work pretty well for riding... I have the 'dunbar' ones, they were like 50 bucks or so.

[mude]

you and the rest of the bmx population :) not that its a bad thing...really good shoes

etnies wise.....reubens (tereann...sp?) defetnly held up through street riding and a LOT of digging in the mud for dirt

I wear any thing wen I bmx, Ive worn some old FUBU high top, some old nikey air force ones, all types of lugs and basketball shoes. Basketball shoes work just fine for grip, but after I got my first pair of vans ill never go back to any thing else. Check the Vans Alfonso, and Vans Ranks. My personal faverets. I once even used some Air Jordans, until I aired into a parked car one day. It wasnt pretty...for me or the car... :p

I got the etnies rooftop 3's a couple days ago. Im not sure how long they will last but so far I like them.
