Can anyone recommend some skate shoes with good heel protection because I'm just recovering from really bad heel bruise and I can't not skate so the next best thing is a good pair of shoes, thanks

Buy some cup soles if you get heel bruises

1. Lakai Manchester 2. Etnies Ryan Sheckler Pro Model #2 (if you can even find those anymore) 3. Any vans, all really good, especially halfcabs. 4. éS square one

Es. Es es es. get a pair that have system g2, its a special thing designed by STI (sole technology institute) that protects against heel bruises.. and its SOO good. The reason why I wont skate anything but Es! not all Es shoes have it, look around for what do. Also emerica also use it, so they're good too.
everyone has said other brands but afaik no other companies have anything close to the STI products like STI foam and system G2.

I wear Fallen but to be honest with you I've only gone skating like 3 times with them on. They seemed to be pretty good but I don't shred as hard as some of you guys so I probably have no idea.

Yeah. Shame about éS. I would recommend them for the System G2 if you can find any. I've had 3 pairs of éS Accels, my most owned shoe model.
Vans are always good.
This is true I still own my vans from my skating days and despite being thrashed at the toes from ollies and shit they still are super solid and are all in one piece.
Plus nothing beats the feeling of a shoe that is super worn in... <3
