Buy skate shoes
There’s a wide range of skate shoes and trainers available on the market. This type of footwear differs from trainers in thatthey have special soles to practice skateboarding and that they are made from special materials that are different from the ones used in conventional footwear.
Also, skate shoes are much more flexible to improve the grip when you’re on a skateboard for instance, and they have shock-absorbing properties for when you land or do a flip or any other stunt.
What shoes to use for skateboarding
As we already mentioned, one of the main differentiating characteristics of skateboarding shoes is their sole. Basically, we can divide them into 2 groups based on the following:
- Vulcanised skate shoes, where the sole and other shoe parts are glued to the shoe by a narrow rubber strip on the side, which provides good cushioning and flexibility at the same time.
- Models with injected rubber soles, where the sides of the skate shoe and the actual sole are part of a single piece. They provide more cushioning than vulcanised skate shoes while also facilitating your stability on the skateboard.
Another thing to take into account when buying one model or another is, for instance, whether the tongue is padded or not, a feature that provides greater comfort when skateboarding. Also, the seams used for their manufacture and the reinforcements that come with certain skate shoes, especially around the toe cap.
One last feature that you should take into account, although this comes down to personal taste, is the height of the shoe. The market offers models that come below the ankle, ankle height and skater shoes that rise above the ankle, like a boot or high-top.
In short, if you want to buy affordable skate shoes that are top-quality and with plenty of features, you’ve found the perfect place for them.
