Anyone know of any good shoes for skating in that soles don't fall apart like DC,Globe,etc.

I've had a per of c1rca's Lopez for a good year now and they haven't died on me just yet so i'm in the go to for a new shoe. I do quite a bit of skating and i wear hightops because i have bindings on my board so it stops the plastic/alloy to stop digging into my ankle.

skate nike sb dunks if you want em to last. skate vulcanized lakai selects if you want good board feel. i skate lakais and vans but lakai soles last longer.

means hes never had a shoe that the soles gripped his deck better, and that he can get a good feel for the position of his feet on the board

I want to try janoskis haha, but I can't rationalize paying $75 for a shoe that will rip after a day. I stopped skating so much street and I've been trying bowls, tranny, etc. so maybe these would be fine.

i skated quite a bit this fall and they held up pretty well. especially skating tranny when you arent constantly flicking flip tricks they should hold up fine.
