As for right now I'm usin an old pair of asics running shoes. They are vented so they stay nice and light, terrible grip though.

Any shoe will do just fine.

I like Nikes SBs.

Reefs are good but they fall apart way to fast.

Old skate shoes rawk hard but they are heavier. some people like that though.

Slip on vans are pretty gnarly, but if u skate in them for a while u tend to get a rash thing and it burns.

Really any shoe with mesh or vents will work well.... try some nike SBs or 6.0s.

I use to were Geof Rowleys like 4 years ago when I use to skate. Those things were awesome for skating. You could really feel the board well. Im rocking a pair of Empire shoes. They are paintball company but they put out some skateshoes randomly. I like them but they are the only shoes I have used.

ZachTullier2, check out UGP wakeskate shoes. They are most comfortable shoe ever. So legit. Kinda heavy but the grip is sick and the shoes are sex on water

how well do the air mogans wake edition hold up? i rode barefoot today and it felt so much more comfortable than the heavy ass shoes i normally wear, made me think about getting some super light kicks Idea

i've heard alot of people complain about the soles in their mogan wakes. i've had no trouble with them slipping, super light, grippy. get some mogan wakes. Smash

skimboarder, don't get me wrong, i love them. i just put some super glue underneath to keep them from moving around.

ZachTullier2, whatever ones you have on your feet when you're riding. You're riding, that's all that matters.

i use non wake mogans and the sole never slips and they are the perfect weight to me

nike 6.0 has the slipperiest grip out of any shoe i've ridden, espicially the wake editions, they feel like they have plastic soles. i hear the gum soles shred, same with the mavrks

dvs' are super grippy, if you want a light really grippy shoe that you can feel the board out nicely with, the dvs triumph is for you

i used to ride them, now i ride a pair of ramondetta circas, grip nice, and are heavy, heavy shoes make my tricks feel cleaner, i dont know why.

The best shoes i've ridden in so far are Vans AV Sk8 Lows and ès Square Ones.

I like vans classics but there isnt much padding to protect your foot from the board.
