Or you poke or drill a couple holes in the soles so water can drain out.

I used to skate in a pair of 5.99 velcro shoes from Wal-Mart.

Best shoes ever, when I went out I was rocking the same shoes as everybody over the age of 65. Laughing

wakeriderof87, what are you talkin about if velcro and water dident mix half of the hyperlite bindings wouldnet work, i got the parks bindings and the option 2 strap is velcro and works just fine in the water.

I have a pair of DC Alias that I use. Brian Grubb wears them in underestimated I think, so maybe you can get an idea of what they are. But Im gonna go drill some holes in them.

i ride with regular shoes, they are fine, a little on the heavy side, but not to bad. They already had holes for ventilation near the arch of the foot.
