do any of you have shoe companies you just won'y buy from?

[formeitscrazylike]

i seem to be the only one of my friends that feels this way, they say if it looks good and is comfy they will wear it, but i never have, and most likely never will own a pair of adio, globe, circa, osiris, or DVS. i dunno what it is i just hate the company and their whole idea. i have never even considered ownng a pair of those shoes. i recognize there's really no genuine justification for it, i'm just immediately turned off by any and every shoe those companies put out. is this just me?

[CATZ]

i got janoskis lately, i didnt like the feel of em and was put off, which is the opposite of what everyone says, but its just me, ill prob never buy nikes again. just not my thing

[scorpion1001]

i've had a couple of pairs of adios and they werent bad. i'm going to probably buy joey brezinski's shoe at some point to try them

i had one pair of DVS zered lows, and i had to stop skating them because the FUCKING lace holes started TEARING OFF on the right shoe! i couldnt even tie the goddamn shoe anymore.  how the fuck does that happen?!!

I am just psyched on your name.  It's a fucking obscure Rodrigo TX quote from a video that came out nearly a decade ago.  That is fucking awesome.  My friends and I used to say that shit ALL the time.

Fallen, Osiris, Duffs, Dekline, Ipath, Vox, and the worst one... Supra

[Snake Stake]

Airspeed

Dude, you're WACK. You need to learn to appreciskate the SHER.

[Lordata]

probably mainly just Adidas or cons. I might try them someday, but probably not. and I'm kind of wishy-washy with nike. I have janoski's right now because I love them, but I have gone through phases of just not buying nike for the sake of buying skater owned like vox.
and I've never really been into adio, but I might buy one of their shoes if they ever make one that's not ugly.

Menikmati was so fucking awesome that is probably the only reason I would still consider buying

[aojiru]

globe - never have, never will
osiris - had a pair given to me, but kept it going and gave them to someone else
Element, Zoo York or any other board company making shoes

used to wear or might consider but not likely:
adio - probably not but they got Creager and Brezinsky so maybe
DC - used to wear them during the 1990s but after Howard, Carroll, Huf and the OGs left the designs seemed to get super lame
Duffs - were cool when Kareem was on but now...
Axion - shouldn't have come back
Supra
Converse
C1rca

[Hobochilli]

Come on, it?s just shoes, you wear them and skate them, who the fuck cares as long as they skate good.
I can understand if some people doesnt like shoes because they are not comfortable or doesnt skate good.
But i dont get the brand hate, as long as they pay their riders they are ok with me.
Stop being like little girls

[mcpeepants]

I won't buy shoes or any products from girl, chocolate, lakai etc. Long story short, I sent them this graphic I made for a class, next month they're new decks had a similar graphic just with different words. Emailed them asking about it and they would never reply.

that is shitty, but thats what you get for sending out a piece of art that you wanted in their control. Sucks they won't acknowledge you, but at least they did something with it even it was modifying your art. Which graphic was it?

That sucks, they could at least have send you some boards

[formeitscrazylike]

forgot about element/zoo york, i don't back the shoes or the boards, but habitat footwear seems a bit more legit. i'd get a pair if they looked/felt good and were the right price

[poopmonkey]

for some reason globe is just incredibly unappealing.

[The Donger]

Adio-Thinking of giving them another shot, no more puffy shoes, no more flying Tomato or Heart-o-grams.
Osiris-I would get the D3's, just as a total joke to make people laugh.
Element/Zoo York/Habitat-stick to board, not shoes....would't skate any of those brands either.
Vox-had a pair, heelbruises and sore feet....and they fell apart.
Vans-again...had (several) pairs, heelbruises and sore feet....and they fell apart.
DC-even Danny Way can't convince me to support Dyrdek.
Globe-had a few pair, slippery bottoms that wore out way fast.
DVS-mall/juggalo brand, plus Berra.
Supra/Kr3w-a little too "urban" for me.
Converse-ankle breakers.
Adidas-toe too pointy.
Lakai-poor quality.
Fallen-never tried them, but just don't like the cut of their jib.
Dekline-ankle breakers.

So what's left? Gravis, C1rca combat, Es, Etnies, Emerica and Huf.
Although I've said I would never skate Nike, I tried on some Dunk highs and they are sick. The zoom fp's look good too. The older I get the more cushion my feet need and I want something that lasts. So I think I'm going to make the Nike switch(sad face.)

[lamfordie]

I didnt like Lakai's for the longest times but since they came out with some good new shoes ill give them a try.
To be honest, I would prolly try any shoe company except those Wal-mart brand shoes.

[teprXL]

Fuck nike
