your shoes: how long have they lasted

Brett Leadley · Posted: Oct 18, 2005 2:53 pm Post subject: your shoes: how long have they lasted

I'm on my third pair of shoes since mid-april. I've worn out the soles on all three pairs. I know shoe companys need repeat business but come on make me something that will last more then a couple months. Sam Ratto if you read this could you please send me a new pair? Very Happy

Thanks (size 11)

I have a pimp pair of GRAY Byerly's that I have had for right at one year. Ridden in about 80 times. I hang them up when I am done riding, and they still look like they will last another year.

i have 2 byerlys and a pair of milans.

my first set of byerlys i bought over a year ago. i wore them every day to school for 6 months(through snow and walkin a 4 mile roundtrip to school).

then this past february i bought a pair of white byerlys. other than stains theyre in mint condition.I stopped wearing those in september when i bought milans.

only thing i dont like about the milans is they take a long time to dry and on the back theyve got like green stuff from my sweat i guess, but it smells real bad(ive even washed them).

But ive been wearin my first pair of byerlys for school, skating, and now theyre my shoes for gym class. I now use my white ones to skate in.

lmao a mouse chewed a hole on the top of one of my milans where my ankle is lol so it looks al weird Smash

ive had a piar of buywake/ambush dresdens since may and the sole very worn out. its really slippery. i think i need to stop so much pressure on my front foot because thats the only one thats wearing out. besides the sole i love my dresdens. they are very comfortable and dry really quick on my window sill, because of the special foam

integrity640 that green stuff is mildew. I bought a pair of black Milans earlier this summer. After about 10 days of riding I noticed the same smell even though I let them dry after every time out. Hit them with some Lysol. The Milans are sick for riding and look cool, but I'm thinking my Byerly's are tougher. The Byerlys definitely dry quicker, and they have never reeked.

i used an old pair of axions w/ holes drilled through it and they completely tore down the heel so now i have an old pair of dvs's w/ holes in it and they have lasted for about a month Crazy Eyes

i used to ride byerlys but i tore right through them. now i ride adios and i love the feel of a heavier padded skate shoe. theyve also lasted me a couple months.

Reebok classics, ive had had the dvs wakekskate shoes but they didnt last very long. my reeboks have lasted me almost 3 years now though and i ride with them all the time. They dont look to good anymore but there still going strong.

ihave the dresdens and the mesh tears real easy all over. that's to be expected though. there real cumfy, and the soles are nice an thin for great board feel. im goin to try the new byerlys next, or maybe those pricy nike e-ques. Smile

if you are looking for shoes that will last, look into the kampus shoes. they have a lot of different styles, colors, and they are better than any other wakeskate shoe that i have tried out.
