shoes!

Le Jalapeno · Guest

well my original idea was to wakeskate on foam and barefooted, but due to some technical difficultys i have decided to man up and get grip and shoes, lucky for me i shouldnt have to buy shoes because i found an old pair of skate shoes, they fit tight when i have no socks, they have a good durable build, and are actually quite stylish. they are black with white accents ali boulala signature shoe from osiris

the only problem i can see coming across is that they arent made for the water, do you guys think they will be alright still? even though they are gonna end up smelling like wet feet all the time

No they won't smell but you might want to drill holes where there's heavy amount of water. You have to try them once and then drill them.

they shouldnt be a problem

wakeskate shoes are overrated

Ya i agree with you Gnarly Dancer 42, wakeskate shoes aren't needed.

But regular skate shoes will work just fine.

you can find some wakeskate shoes real cheap. I got some dvs dresdens for 30$, and they are usually around 70$

dont even drill them. when your foot is inside of the shoe theres really not that much water that will need to drain out.

well my luck kicked in, and when i came home today my puppy chewed out some of the padding on the one shoe, still usable, but not nearly as comfortable

i rock my chucky t's at times. the hightops always stay tight and they dont even feel like you have shoes on. if im not wearing those i wear so old lakai shoes that i got for cheap. OR my walmart walking velcro specials
