New shoe for wakeskating?

I just saw an ad for this and am looking at the site now... look it over and see what you think. Any reasons to believe this wouldn't be good for skating or why it might be the best thing since sliced bread?

the sole would be way to think for wakeskating. you wouldnt be able to feel the board. also they are super expensive

not as expensive as the new TEVA shoes which are some of the most uncomfortable shoes iv ever worn. but they do hold no water and are super light. (got a pair for free to test)

Skate shoes need to have a flat sole. regardless of the misguided trend to wear running type shoes in skating, a flat sticky sole is your best bet for skating

Great points but what at the cable park that has rocks around the lake?

Toxis, a flat skate shoe can't handle some rocks?? its not a hike.. performance on your skate comes first.
