new shoes

[Joey White]

do you guys buy new shoes to wakeskate in

[Parky]

Joey White, no I ride some old DVS

it seems to me that shoes bought just for wakeskating usually work better since shoes tend to feel bigger in the water. my wakeskate shoes are at least a half size smaller than my regular skate shoes, and they're really too small when they're dry, but they're perfect on the water.

man, seriously , I have some adidas soccer turf shoes, they work awesome, I have skated with people with all kinds of other shoes and these stay much lighter , by far. they hold very little water at all. I picked up my buddy's 313's the other day and i was like dude these are freakin heavy, I told him to pick up mine and he was like that's it, i'm bustin out the adidas.

yeah but what does a heavy shoe mean can you honestly tell the difference from a light shoe to a heavier one. i mean i had byerly's and i got some es' rovers and they are way more comfortable, but they hold more water and i cant feel the difference of lightness when they are on.

My first pair of shoes were my old skate shoes, till they fell apart, then I went to my local skate shop, and got a pair of Saviars on clearance for $30 bucks, and they are perfect. I used to have 313's, now I just have one, but I won those, I wouldnt have bought them, I liked them though.

I ride an old pair of Saviers too, they're nice and thin and I haven't even felt the need to cut drainage vents in the sides, they just stay light even when soaked.

I use some DC Alias's that I had in my room that I didn't wear anymore, and they get heavy but I can't tell on the water...
