I was wondering what you wear on your feet to keep the grip from ripping your feet. i'm new to this sport and am wondering if there's some special shoes or something you wear. or is it just skate shoes[/b]

wear whatever you want, i wear skate shoes, but you can buy wakeskate shoes, (eg: reef, kampus, bling's) that are meant for wakeskating. They float and drain water easily, use what works best for you

and you can also use the byerlys as regular shoes so its not like your paying 70 bucks or however much it is for shoes for just wakeskating

you cant wear byerlys in wet weather tho cuz of the drain holes

<<---my solution

I use my light weight lawn cuttin shoes for my wakeskatin shoes. got holes for drain'n

if you got some old lightweight running shoes...aint no reason to go out and buy some expensive @ss shoes. unless ya wants to.

That's right hypo,
I wear cheap supermarket skate shoes. I got them for about $30. They look nice and work great since I drilled holes in the soles. I keep my bucks for shoes that I wear when I'm not on/in the water...

Ive been riding the Kampus shoes.And they are pretty tight.I think they are suppose to cost,59.I had the prototypes and they were sick but the finish product should be even more better.
