im realy close to buying these shoes the pair i use now are skate boarding shoes and weigh SO much when they are wet, from the review i saw it sounded like the guy liked them. Does anyone who has worn these or know someone with them have anything bad to say? im sold on the grip and lightweight design im just not sure if anyone heard anything bad about their durabilty or anything else

caprice sun, i think their just a regular skate shoe and buywake is marketing at a wakeskate shoe. no where does it saying anything about wakeskate specific.

DirtyCracker, i think you might be right but they look like they will work well as a wakeskate shoe

evogear.com calls them wakeskate shoes but that might just be them promoting like that or something

read the reviews on the zappo site, everyone said bad for skating, most likely skateboarding, but most wakeskate shoes don't hold up to the rigors of skateboarding, they're designed to be light and work well in the water, they last for wakeskating because most people still aren't flipping or sliding their foot as much in wakeskating yet.

Ever since what Globe pulled off at the Fiji Pro, I will no longer support any of their products.

I have these shoes and so far i really like them. they are really light and drain pretty fast. They have been skated a decent amount and are still holding up really good. i think i paid 50 or 60 at my local shop for them. overall i like them alot.
