The official shoe of longboarding...

I would like to bring to attention that I believe the CROC should be named the official shoe of longboarding...

- They are comfy

- They cushion your feet from vibrations better than normal sneakers

- They provides great grip

- They are quick and easy to slip into

- They are extremly cheap

- They sure are stylish too!

Who agrees?

...........umm no.

The official shoe of longbaording would be something more along the lines of any of the waffle sole vans like the chukka lows or something.

I remember seeing an actual longboarding shoe in a Vancouver longboarding magazine, here but I don't know if Landyachtz actually followed through

my mom used to never where shoes but eventually he will catch something like planters worts which really sucks

running barefoot really does feel great but with shoe technology these days it can almost feel like you are not wearing any shoes if you want

nooooooo
Shoes are the tip of the iceberg, friends. We don't want to end up where shortboarding is today.

The soul was sucked out of the thirty inch doublekick as soon as they started the "niche marketing" crap. Oh, these are the shoes you wear to skate, these are the jeans for streetstyle, these are the best nipple pasties for your whore skater girlfriend, etc. Everyone got into brands, and let them divide the sport. And then pros and sponsorships jumped into the mix and jumbled everything up even more.


Fuck that, I'll cruise barefoot, in whatever I feel like wearing. I don't need you to "officiate" my boardwear. Particularly if you want me to wear crocs, the shoe only acceptable to wear if you're dead

My buddy Wade at http://scarea.net/ printed a run of shirts that said "I've been shredding since before you were wearing your sister's jeans"

Forgot to mention, the reason for these is the very very thick and dense soles. And the durable swede takes a lot of effort to tear, they pretty much don't fall apart like other shoes which aren't fit for longboarding
