How fast do you go through shoes?

DirtyCracker · Guest

it seems like im buying a new pair of shoes a month easily. i ride alot 4-5 times a week minimum. and im always moving my feet around adujusting positioning and the bottoms of my shoes lose all their grip on the balls and heels in no time.

i usally ride byerly 2s.

what are you guys doing about this? seems by the time i get a new shoe worn in it loses all the grip on the bottom.

i usually just use my old skate shoes, there like old fallen shoes. theve lasted a long time, i jus tgot new ones because they started to mildew. i dont really go through shoes that fast because i dont really notice the difference in grip like other doi suppose.

This is a good question. Let's see...I ride about 5 times per year, and have been doing so for only about two years....so I'd say:

I've NEVER gone through a pair of shoes yet. But it is my sincere dream to do so one day.

my ambush dresdends have lasted quite a while, they've lost their grip on the sole but its not that noticable on tricks. if u wanna stop this, the obvious solution is to ride a foam top but thats purely up to u... u jus cant beat the feelin of grip tape tho...

I feel ya cracker. The DVS wear faster than the reefs, everywhere. Although the DVS are more comfy. I hate it when the grip is all gone. I never wear them except on the water. Oh well, that's life. At least you're dropping duckets on something cool.

i dont know i can feel such a difference when shoes wear. first day out with new shoes feels like my feet just stick to that board
