| Could you guys recommend any good skate shoes? Right now I have Vans Authentics I like em but I don't really know if they are good for skating. What shoes do you use when you skate and what would you recommend? |

| vans era pro's are the shit, the suede lasts forever, there flexible, good board feel, and you can usually pick them up for a good price. Pretty much any vans are good as long as they are suede. |

| I have seen a lot of really popular skate shoes in the past like Vans TNT, éS Accel, Nike SB Dunk, Lakai Manchester, Emerica Heretic. Most skate shoes are fine and you can just look the type of shoe you want - the material, if it's a bulky type or a slim type, type of sole, optional lace protection. I usually just pick suitable ones from sales regardless of brand/model although my favourite model of skate shoe is the éS Accel (which has now evolved into the Square Two model). |

| Emerica shoes are my personal favorite. The insole is soo good, that you can ollie 8+ sets and you won't get heel bruises whats-so-ever.The bottom doesn't wear out as quick as other shoes, making it better, longer. Lightweight to, so that's a bonus. I'm using a pair of Emerica Baker x Figgy shoes right now, my second pair of Emerica's. Best skate shoes EVER. And Emerica is a brand owned by skaters, so the money doesn't go to some rich business people when you buy a pair of shoes. The company is owned by skaters |

| I normally ride vans authentics and just shoe goo the shit out of them before i skate. But also, i recommend basically any Adidas shoes. They are super durable and comfy. |

| Freaking love my Lakai Belmont XLKs. Sole is wearing quicker than I'd like, but I foot break a lot, and use Mob, so that might explain it lol. |

| Adidas Seeleys. I get em at the Adidas outlet here for $45. They are super comfortable and can take a beating. Mine have not lost any grip since I bought them. For sure buying another pair. |

| Koston 1s, havent had a chance to try the 2s yet but you can usually pick up the 1s for a good price. They lasted me a good 3 months and they were easily the nicest shoes i've ever skated. So comfortable and just generally a great shoe to skate in. Just beware as they run a little small. |

you mean nike satire. they arent sb's by any means. the non sb nikes are what took over the 6.0's when they became discontinued. the only true nike sb's are the ones with the nike sb on the tag on the tongue |
