So far I am not having much luck at finding any wakeskate shoe in a size 14. I currently just wear some sketchers, but they tend to get a little heavy.
any suggestions?

I found some nice DVS in size 14 but they are pretty expensive.

Vampyre, have you tried to fit them into a size 13? I'm size 13 and dont have a problem finding wakeskate shoes online. If not, froogle.com for online stores who sell the shoe you want to find. or as a last resort, buy some lightweight skate shoes and modify them for wakeskating. (tear out excess tounge material, drill holes into the sole.. etc.)

Well, actually, I may customize my sketchers by drilling holes in the soles. I already ditched the inner soles.
I had been thinking about drilling holes in various parts, but was afraid that the suede material might just end of fraying.
I will give it a shot, nothing really to lose!

Thanks guys.

I wear a size 14 reg shoe, but wear a 13 Reef Byerly to wakeskate in. I don't have any problems with the smaller size.

OOOOOOOOOOOk..
Thanks Cary K., for bringing this back to reality.
Yeah, I thought about that, wearing no socks, the shoe might be a smaller size.
Thanks again (except for the brat who escaped daycare)

i wear a size 13 in reefs and a size 12 in regular, so if you're a 14 in regular you should be able to fit in a 13 in byerlys

nichSloan, what Taylor said doesn't, but what Cary K.said does. I wear a size 11 shoe, but i can fit into a size 10 shoe for wakeskating comfortably, i think when the shoe is in the water, it gets a little stretchier, cuz that deffinitly happes with my shoes.

Vampyre, try contacting buywake.com. there just a bunch of cool people out of a warehouse in atlanta(?) and skate in the store park when they arent working (what ive heard-reliable source?). im almost positive all of those shoes made by dvs and reef are all made in size 14, just not distributed as broad. so if you dont mind a little wait i bet buywake could probably get a bigger size for you..
and if you didnt see the post up at the top. someone already posted a link for size 14's from buywake. but little expensive as already mentioned.

Chuck Taylor All Stars low cut. Personally I wear my Blue suede one's from the 70s. You could probably get any color. Worth a try ??? Cool Mr T
