Oh man, soaps are so fun. Everyone says they are gay but they will shut their face when they see some pro soaper float off a 40 stair double kink rail. Fun is gaurenteed with the purchase of these.

i hate soaps. they're just gay looking shoes that are really heavy because they have a grinding plate on the bottom. No they dont help you grind on skis.

im a fruit booter, and i have soap shoes.
they actually made grinding on skis more comfortable for me. just getting used to sliding across a jib.
theyre pretty fun. not that expensive.
www.outaline.com has them for pretty cheap ($60CDN i think)

i have some soaps i think they are too small now though i got them right when they came out, they were fun for awhile, they might help u with the sliding aspect of rails but not the balancing part so much, i mean they are just shoes not long planks

Seriously, soaps are the worst thing ever introduced to the alternative sport world. Yes, it takes talent to go down a 40 stair rail, but seriously, all your doing it walking around and jumping off sh*t. It doesn't look smooth at all and you can't do any big gaps or anything because YOU'RE RUNNING.

everyone just pissed because they suck at it and have to call it gay. I mean does it really matter that much? Why wouldn't you want a shoe with someting extra? Huh? It's not like a little piece of plastic is really going to way you down.

soap shoes don't improve your grinding skills on skis. aggro skates will.

go get yourself a USD or Razors skate and grind on.

of course it would. it practices your balance. you use the same stance.

i love freestyle walking.......

You know something that would really make me applaud? A guy gets stuck in quicksand, then sinks, then suddenly comes shooting out, riding on water skis. How do they do that?

some think that soaps are gay because all you are doing is walking, To me that is the coolest part, you dont have to lug around your skateboard or you skates, you can just be walking, see a rail and stick it.

Freestyla_01, I got to admit man, you do have balls while it is comprendable that
you would admit such a homosexual trait, at your own expense, it is never the
less a sure sign that you are insecure. Perhaps you should let your testicles
fully extend and try something admirable other than a JLB.

a while back we had some freezing rain that coated everything and me and some friends could slide rails and benchs and shit just in normal shoes which was pretty fun. it is DEFINITELY not a sport but theres nothin wrong with doin it for fun.

p.s. does anyone know where to pick up a pair of soaps in the Toronto area?

The thing about soaps is that its the easiest thing ever and it looks stupid. It's mildly fun, but rollerblading and even skateboarding is just way better.

Also, its really way different from grinding on skis because you actually have a groove and if you don't land on the plastic, you don't move.

ya i have been a skateboarder since i was like 5, when soaps came out, i thought they were more queer than a 2 dollar bill. One day me and a friend were walking downtown and saw a kid freestyle walking or whatever, i started to laugh, then the kid hooked on a 15 stair rail and at the end of the rail, he threw a backflip off and landed on the concrete, then he just walked away. I still think it's gay and not a sport, but, that was impressive and if you're bored im sure they could be fun.
