Wakeskating/Skateboarding Shoes

Jama · Guest

I realize this is the reverse order of most people, but I've wakeboarder and snowboarded for about two years, just dropped wakeboarding for wakeskating Marchish, and now I want to start skateboarding. In an attempt to kill two birds with one stone, I would like to get a pair a shoes I can skate and wakeskate in without having to worry about them tearing up too soon.....Do you think the Adio Quests will do the job, maybe the Kenny Andersons?

Jama, I have the DVS mesh Milans... I don’t think they would hold up to well if I were to skate with them as well as wakeskate with them... but I love DVS with all my heart so I have many different pairs (skateboard specific, wakeskate specific... etc) But from what I hear the Adio Quests are sweet... they look tougher then my Milans... I know shane has a pair and likes em (he posted pics of his and some shizzle) as well as vance recommends them in other topics... so I think those might be your best beat... like I said I have never ridden with them, but from the way they look and what other peeps have said I think those would be a good solution.

dude, just buy 2 pairs of cheap skate shoes.
no shoe will dry soon enough to go wakeskating and skating in the same day or even within a few days. u can search online skate shops and find sales for like 25-40 bucks and i believe the quests are around 70 so to me that would be logical.

Dont buy a pair of wakeskating shoes on their ability to dry quickly..their just gonna get wet anyway...go 4 durability..I had the dressen's and they tore apart after 1 day of learning vflips

my milans dry in a day out in the hot sun...ive heard people have had problems with durability from the milans but mine have been holding up great...ive been trying kf's for a week and theres hardly any damage...

phibus footwear, designed to be put in your dryier to quick dry your shoes and go skate, really well built shoes that can take a beating, and they have Matt Sacchitiello on the team and he kills it

jama i'm a skateboarder that got into wakeskating. if you've never skateboarded before be prepared to dedicate a lot of time to it if you really want to get good. a lot of my friends saw me skateboarding and decided to take it up, after a month they wondered why they couldn't even ollie. so if you're going to get into it and get good prepare to practice every single day.

Reef Byerlys are nearly indestructable and dry pretty fast...but not fast enough to go skateboarding/wakeskating in one day. I'd just buy two cheap pairs of skate shoes.
