View Full Version : shoes
I have gone through 2 pairs of shoes in the like 6 weeks i have been biking again. The bottom just gets ripped off. I had p-rods that i got for like $10 and like some lakai's i got for free. I was thinking about getting some loteks or orchids or something. Any reccomendations?

fallens, circas, 6.0s, vans...
Well. I ordered the Lotek Coastals for $50 shipped to my house off dan's comp in white. I was looking at the lotek website and there is a way to like paint them sort-of and i am going to make them purple. :)

bare foot *****
When i was at the Natomas skatepark a couple days ago. Crap i don't know the name of the trick. You sort-of air out of the bowl you go 90 degree's you jam your foot in then you bunny hop back in. He did that with no shoes on in the biggest bowl. It was crazy.

I've worn Vans for years. Elements and DVS hold up well. Avoid air walks if you can.

If they were Michael Jordan's signatures, they'd still be ugly. Well, uglier than most of his signatures anyhow. It's either Half-cabs or copier.

Not a huge fan of the whips.
I bought them and rode with them for a while but they just didn't feel right to me, so I swapped my mate for his adios.
No gnrrocker. I could of got them in a different color. I just wanted something to do and to say yeah i did that. It was fun and costed like $3.

I had a pair of uncomfortable-stiff-boat feeling DVS's that had a stash pocket like last year.
Street rider

the last pair of DVS i had were really slimmed down. i liked em. and my last circas were the 205's, so they were big and fat. and my etnies had shock absorbing gel, but they fell apart. and my Duffs were pretty nice. but i like my ipaths the most out of all the shoes ive had in the last two years.

i had the gambler VU. those were pretty comfy. and they held up pretty well to riding. i got em like 4 mths and all thats really worn down is the heel and the ball of the foot. other than that, theyre pretty decent still.
