Yes I know that there is already a poll for Highs, Mids, and Lows. But thats just in general.

What shoes are best when street skating? This has nothing to do with looks, comfort, etc. All it has to do with is how good they are for street skating only.

Need helps with this before I go out and buy my SBs today.

I like these (http://www.nike.com/nikeskateboarding/v3/#/shoes/view/13353) dunks. They look comfortable and good colors too :)

if you get the dunks, your just gunna shred through them right away. they have like no protection at all. the only nike shoe that i say is worth the 100 bucks are the tres. they are like impossible to rip. otherwise, most of them are garbage protection wise.

If you're going to buy Nikes, get Zoom Tré's they're near indestructible (apart from the sole) Without a doubt they're the most durable shoe in skating.

They're mid tops BTW.

tres or Zoom tres? =/

Zoom Tres, Tres are Zoom Tres. Nike sbs are the best. And truck size doesn't matter. The size is more around if you skate loose or tight.

My shop sells them for 50% off.

What's the difference between Tres and Zoom Tres? Also how well do they skate compared to dunks?

Get Nike Sb dunk Mids or Highs

But if you want the ultimate mid, go with Vans Half-Cab.

They are the same thing some people just call them tres because its faster to say/type.

Yeah I really like the color of these (http://www.nike.com/nikeskateboarding/v3/#/shoes/view/13289) tres. And then add some rasta striped shoelaces, and damn, they are sick as hell.

Douches.... There is no best shoe. Not for street, not for transition skating... Its personal preference and that varies lots from person to person. Even the wear n' tear varies to each person.

These threads are wastes of time. For the original poster and the people who reply. Maybe you should be looking to see what some others prefer... No equipment is the best.

i think the best are the more confortable for each skater

Exactly, but that doesn't mean its going to be the same for each person. Every person I know prefers a different shoe and swears by it.

Actually this can be applied to other things, like boards wheels trucks, bearings...

I prefer
Foundation boards
Fallen shoes
Royal Trucks
and I'm not sure about bearings yet
I use blank wheels and I haven't had many brands yet... Blanks seem to slide the nicest so far.

Highs/Mids for ankle support.

But tre's were going to be my last shoe, but the nike store didn't have any in so I got some team editions.

hokus pokus

funny, 90% of the other shoes mentioned are nike rip offs.
but everyone has their opinions
i like mids or highs, but thats me.
all i can tell you is, buy and try different shoes out for yourself
