Which do you guys prefer low or mid? I am looking at the Nike Air Morgans Wake shoes. I have found them in both mid and low and im not sure which to get.

I never got mids cause i think they look silly.. but as we speak my ankle is bleeding from my grip tape so I wish I had mids for tonights set..

i like the byerly 3 mid's. the nike mid's seem like high tops or something a rapper would wear.

I just broke in a new pair of Nike 6.0 Mavrk Mid 2 Wake and they are soooo good.

I like mids, help keep your ankles from getting bit by the grip tape.

i dont see the point in making a "wake" shoe and then stuffing it full of padding... Rolling Eyes

worst shoe for wakeskating= ugp. it's a great idea having the inner once piece, but it's uber thick and holds water. some folks enjoy a heavier/padded shoe. i personally like byerlys better than my nike wake shoes(the orange ones). the braatas are awesome feel and everything but sometimes hurt the tops of my feet. i'd say get some byerly 3's many of which are on sale at buywake.com or just find a middle ground skate shoe you like.

G.K.D., not to argue, but id say the examples you gave are different from a shoe.

my wakeskate shoes have no padding. They're still super comfy and they don't hold water so my feet feel light as a feather Very Happy

For the Nike Air Morgans Wake shoes, I am more preferred to mid high shoe. It is more passion, and if you are after on the comfort than a low shoe might be for you.
