put lots of layers of stickytape on the top of ure shoes and make sure they stay there and are quite firm.. it works well for me...

-_-

No, just no.

no wat? probably unlike u, people on this forum has to work for their money. buying shoes ontop of a skateboard is loads... for me... i dont wanna waste 100$ on skate shoes that just get holes in them after 4 days and then soon get holes in my socks.. so unless u have something reasonable to say, dont say anything...

what I used to do in the old days was: glue a piece of bicycle tyre on my shoe, not only was it solid, but it made me do huge ollies too:)

What kind of sticky tape are you using? Like, scotch tape or duct? If it's duct, then yeah, it works pretty well. Anything else would be pretty terrible though.

I'd recommend you use Shoe Goo, works allot better than any tape, and it's reasonably cheap. ($4 a tube)

o.o shoe goo? never heard of that here...

Your 13 and you work for your money?

Haha, You know hoe stupid you'd look with ducktape on the OUTSIDE of your shoes?

o.o shoe goo? never heard of that here...

Hmm, where do you live? They have it at most Walmart's, and probably some shoe stores and skate shops. That's where I've found it at least, not sure where else they would have it.

yes i am 13 and yes i work for my money, im independent and i feel guilty if i use someone elses money to buy stuff for myself... do u know how stupid it would look to buy a 100$ shoe and get holes in it then soon get holes in the socks?

im from australia, maybe ive never heard of it cause i dont go to hardware stores much...

I work for my money, thats the beauty of spending it on whatever I want. Weither it be drugs, or a new pair shoes every month. =)

no..i hate skating with tape on my shoes, or anything for that matter

I think it works pretty well, but Shoe Goo is way better, it doesn't change the feel of the shoe much.

haha i like that idea
i may just have to try it out:icon_wink

Eww. I hate shoo goo, and I hate tape. I just have to let nature take its tole with my shoes.

ok starberry makes skateshoes welll not ment for skaten but same shape and there 10 bucks for shoes

tape? hell no man, it looks so damn ugly.

I used duct tape once (a lot of it) but I had a hole after 1-2 seshs. I recommend shoe goo over duct tape. Shoe goo makes me able to skate for weeks, until the lower part at the finger has hole (beneath).

Well i lost my shoe gooe so i use duck tape a lot.

to b quite honest i never wanna look stupid but if its the only way to be able to skate with proper shoes i dont give a f**k..... my friend does it and he doesnt look stupid......

i gotta get some shoe goo....my globes are biting the dust

Shoe Goo, not Sticky tape... Shoe goo... ¬.¬

if you dont want your shoes to rip, dont skate in em. otherwise who the hell cares skate shoes are supposed ot get messed up

they are supposed too, but im just saying too people who cant afford shoes every week or two.

HAHAHAHAHA wow funny stuff I buy 3 or 4 pairs every 3 weeks and that SOMTIMES lasts me skating as much as I do but I have rich parents that really care about my skateboarding life so yeah on top of that 3 or 4 decks week somtimes 2 weeks and hit up atleats 10 new gaps each week traveling haha I got it made but yeah I think if you buy DC!!!! then you wont get wholes for a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long time dude!!! :) happy sk8n

they are supposed too, but im just saying too people who cant afford shoes every week or two.

you can skate in shoes that have holes, i know i sure as hell did on tons of shoes when i was learning kickflips and ****

u can but until the point when the hole front of ure shoes all ripped and stuff and then it rips ure socks then it starts ripping ure skin isnt a good feeling

If I were you I'd get black shoe goo, it looks cooler.

Your 13 and you work for your money?

Haha, You know hoe stupid you'd look with ducktape on the OUTSIDE of your shoes?
