Ehh, thanks but I have not used skate shoes yet.
Im just killing my old Air Force Ones and some Reeboks I have :(
I have no money for shoes

Yeah.. It's true. This time you got a point. ;)

The prize does not decide whether the shoe is "good" or "bad".
I personally like the cheap ones. (Vans & Etnies)

No ones forcing anyone to buy expensive skate shoes.

same here, bro. have some max-air Nikes that will be flat bottom's once I've used them enough. They've worked pretty well for me so far. I'll wait until I CANNOT use them to buy shoes.

My first skate shoes were skechers back in 99' on my rocket power skateboard ftw!!1!

i used no surrenders when i first started - they ripped hella quick.

after walking all day im my expensive lakais i come back and put on my elements and hey feel like slippers. they have molded around my feet witch the lakais wont ever do.
and the sole is super comfy, and i get more board feel.

i never will again just because of this, i should have gone for the dvs they looked better anyway.

yeah man, just cause somethings expensive, doesn't mean its good or better than a cheaper thing.

that excludes walmart to pro model boards.
