I don't get all the Circa hate. I liked every pair I've owned.

I think a lot of people here hate every shoe that doesn't have a swoosh or stripes on it.

Circa makes some of the best shoes out there, they last, they are comfy and i get them dirt cheap

That was a definite generalization, but head on over to the "post the shoes you're wearing" thread and see how many different shoes are actually posted. It's usually the same few companies and a lot of the same models.

Only DC's I would buy are the Tonik's, those ones that look like the Manchesters and the JK8's.
Circa
Globe
DVS
Ipath
Fallen
Etnies
Dekline

I usually wear Nike's and Adidas, but Lakai would be added to the mix since the Manchester's coming back.

DC
Supra

Are the only brands that really disgust me, with DC it's partly their customers (jocks who don't skate), and with Supra most of their shoes look so ridiculous that I cant even take them seriously.

But the list of shoe brands I simply don't care enough about to ever buy would be a lot longer.

Nike, they have enough money, they don't need mine.

miguelsk8 · « **Reply #69 on:** December 01, 2010, 02:12:16 PM »

I don't like:

Vans - becoming to popular here in portugal, they look always the same, they are expensive and not durable...
DC - expensive and ugly...
habitat - i like the shoes but they should have other name because they limited the shoe team to their skateboard am team...
world industries - the most ugly ones...
element\zoo york - dont have quality...

this brands have some shoes that i can worn but in overall i don't like their shoes.

jildo · « **Reply #70 on:** December 01, 2010, 05:52:05 PM »

to anyone that answered VOX, i'm sorry, you're mistaken.

but, yeah, mainly FALLEN.

i feel like they are one of the few shoe brands that have yet to produce a shoe that i've even remotely liked.

A.J.K. · « **Reply #71 on:** December 01, 2010, 06:05:45 PM »

Osiris-Obvious
Globe-Don't really care for their "image" or whatever you want to call it.
Supra-Same as globe, they're ugly as fuck, and i had a pair of the thunders lows once because they were the cheapest, and they didn't have my size in anything else and there by far the worst shoes i've ever skated.
zoo york, world, airspeed-Obvious

Where does someone go about getting one of these?
The shirt. Well, or the mask.

i hold no grudges or allegiance to any company

i think most nikes are ugly though

InternetDaddy · « **Reply #75 on:** February 01, 2011, 10:27:36 PM »

Pretty much just DC, but to be fair I had the smith 1.5's back in my puffier shoe phase and liked those. As for all the Osiris hate, I fucking loved Boulala's shoe. It may have been ugly as fuck, and the boardfeel was terrible, but I learned most of my tricks in those bastards and they will forever have a place in my heart.

Fallen. It's not that I don't like the team, it's just the people that wear them that I don't care for. The kids with like skin tight yellow pants. Gages in their ears. Drink Monster energy. Listen to hardcore screamo. And bike at the library while asking to bum cigarettes off you.

sweet typecasting bro.

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's weird, I sent Lakai an envelope with a graphic on it for some stickers. A month later they said they were gonna use it for a shirt, sent me 2 shirts and 2 pairs of shoes. Never got those stickers though...

fowlerclone · « **Reply #79 on:** February 02, 2011, 03:14:35 PM »

I'll try just about any shoe if it looks good, simple as that.
I was trying to avoid Cons just because, until I tried a pair on.
But I still think addidas' is the worst. Ugly ass shoes, weird fit (for me) but I really just fucking hate the three stripes.

That's kinda crazy. I remember posting a shitty striped graphic I spraypainted on here.. two months later, the same pattern, same colors even.. is one of Mike Carroll's new decks. I never emailed about it, but in retrospect that's pretty fucking lame of them.

Chris · « **Reply #83 on:** February 06, 2011, 08:03:34 AM »

DC...I hate the Court Graffik shoe and everyone has them.

I remember when I was 14 (11 years ago) and people would rip on me for wearing DC's and not Etnies which was popular at the time, now Everyone wears them. They also drink Monster, old english D's on the back car window,love Tapout. Gotta love the Midwest.

I won't wear Nike either.

thepman · « **Reply #84 on:** February 06, 2011, 10:31:55 AM »

i have never seen a pair of circa's in real life

element,zoo york,nss,air speed.. although i don't think i've seen any of these brands at many shops.

cheep · « **Reply #87 on:** February 08, 2011, 10:24:08 AM »

Shit... I havent bought shoes from a skate brand in a long time...its either nike or vans. Id actually be more likely to skate in shoes that were not made for skating than buy shit from sole tech, lakai, dvs, or any of those others.

Spike Hawke · « **Reply #88 on:** February 08, 2011, 10:29:54 AM »

nike or k-swiss. pretty much anything else goes as long as its a cup sole. cant skate with vulcanised soles, its all in the mind

Froston · « **Reply #89 on:** February 08, 2011, 10:43:18 PM »

I will not allow myself to by nikes anymore.
