i use to skate shelltoes way back in the day.
-
I don't know what name they go under, but for a few years I skated in a Nike cut that looked a helluva lot like todays current SB Dunk lows. I have some Asics that are a little scuffed up from my broke days, too.
-
I tried skating some af1s and they were horrible, such a thick sole
-
reebok classics
-
For years I've been buying regular dunks on ebay for $20.
-
damn, was gonna make this topic last night.
Obviously dunks, dunk highs aren't bad either.
Some real good ones are vandals and vandal highs..

Some Nike running shoes about 10 years ago. They gripped really well but the meshy stuff ripped really fast.

Vans slip ons and these old style Reeboks.

I used to skate in Timberlands back in like....1995 or so...but shelltoes were always good....oh shit.....if we are talking about 1989 though....British Knights.

Black Shell Toe High Tops with White Stripes. The kind Drake Jones use to wear. The make you do perfect tre flips cause when you look down at your feet you feel like you're drake (ninites drake that is)
-
adidas campus
-
nike cortez, but not the ones that are out today, these had small square soft rubber cleats on the sole
canvas tretorns were the best gripping shoe ever but only lasted four days

Reebok classic - the ones they turned into there skate shoes, that's like 15 years ago, they cost £20 lasted a 2 weeks, looked sick, had protection in them when all you could get was Strombolies and Dukes
Then Air Force 1's and various other Nikes that were in sales.
They all end up the same - ripped and in the bin
-
gazelles and shelltoes as far as the minds eye can see.

I have these right now, they got soft fast, but I loved the way they loook.
My first skate shoes were the converse with one star, and a small stripe, with a 35 degree angle on it, the ones Marcus Mcbride wore in trilogy..anyone know the name, coudlnt find them.

You seriously skated these? I understand the other ones, that sole looks like it would work, but these look completley unskateable

These are my favorite shoe to skate in. too bad they rip so easily
-
I used to skate some K-swiss. Other than that, I had some Adidas hiking/cross trainers that looked horrible for skating, but we're actually one of my favorite pairs of shoes to skate.
-
Damn skating in Jordan IV, i skated in jordan IV before it lasted good but the sole ran out quick
-
ive skated gazelles, shelltoes, stan smiths and campus'. blazers, AF1, air max's and dunks. ive even skated ALIFE RTFT kicks a couple times, shoes are shoes.

shelltoes have been my favorite non-skateshoe so far

I like this thread...
I always wanted to try some one stars but i can never really find them....I can't really fit into adidas because I'd wear a 12 and a half and they dont make it
I had some puma suedes but they gave me terrible blisters
I like to skate in vans mostly but I've been thinking about trying to get some non sktae shoes...
has any body skated those mid top converse 'weapons'?
on an unrelated shoe note though, I think vans should make one of those new versions (like that no-school,or avera) of the skate high with a puffier tounge...
-
aisics top seven were good except for the lack of foot padding

cant beat these and the old school leather ones, jack purcell's will beat the shit out of your feet but once you get use to it, they grip the best, i used to order these from converse, it was always a bitch to get them but damn! they are good.

I guess Chuck's and Vans slip-ons aren't really "skate" shoes and I've skated in those plenty. (though I prefer the "sk8-hi"). Once upon an ancient time I used to wear those wino shoes from kmart and skated in them, such as in this fresno ark pic from early 80s: (shortish shorts, duct tape toe caps, stinkbug boneless... not a good look...)

not a laker fan by any means but i snatched a pair of purple/gold weapons at a thrift store for 5 dollars. unused

i once popped a pretty nice ollie in uggz boots
-
Around 94 or 95 when all the skate companies where going really "tech" with their designs, I started skating in these canvas vulcanized nikes with a funny gingham lining. I have no idea what they where called, but I saw an old lady wearing a pair on the bus the other day, so they must be good.

also these RBK workouts, the DGK shoes were beefed up, but i like the non skate shoe better

Suede Chuck Taylors. Original Jordans (always in bargain bins because nobody liked them at first).
I had those Lakers Weapons too. Board feel was a bitch, though.

Hell yeah. I was gonna post these. Skated them around when I started skating. I want another pair.

Shit I ordered those from California SkateExpress in '91 then shoe-goo'd them after wearing holes through the canvas in 3 days—my first pair of "skate" shoes.
This summer I skated some shits that were kinda like this:
(http://www.kitbag.com/product_images/large/2-3478.jpg)
They were dope, mad padding, but I wore them really loose with the strap open.
-
didn't they already do this thread?(http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l227/kd_5/green-1.jpg)
-
When I was kid I had a pair of British knights and a pair of converse Weapons and I thought they both were great.
Really puffy, but in 89 they were sick.
Chuck taylors are my all-time favorite non skate shoes.
-
everytime i go to the states i make sure to go to wal-mart and pick up these 2 dollar shoes that look like eras. they skate great but last a day at most.

I saw 3 people with chuck taylors on. :-\

I worked at Eastbay for a summer and they gave all employees 40% off of their cost on K-Swiss, so I was burning through them at $15 or less a pair. I was laughing so hard when I found out that Lutzka is actually trying to skate in them professionally.
-
I couldn't find a fucking pic, but when I was little, I skated in these champions, they were orange, silver, and navy blue, and had what looked like tiny suction cups on the bottom. I can't remember the name of the shoe though, so any help finding a pic would be appreciated

These skated great, Dr J's. They were pretty popular among skaters back in the 90's. They look a lot like Kenny's new shoe - jugding by pictures of the KA-One the Dr J's look better.
(http://sneakers.pair.com/l/pl-l-69.jpg)
These were great too. Adidas Norton. Paulo Diaz skated them a lot. They still make these, but someone told me they're a little different now. Anyone know if that's correct?

Nortons were the first Adidas skate shoe that were released in the mid 90's.
Nike GTS in the mid 90's... those were awesome! This is what they generally looked like but the swoosh was different.

had to skate these today because my regular shoes finally blew out. the sole has the same pattern/grip as any other nikeSB vulc. decent boardfeel & they skate aiiight. almost too much boardfeel for me cuz my feet were slightly aching just havin a mellow sesh at the park, but thats prolly just from me wearing a cupsole w/ 2 insoles all the time.

i've probably skated 10 pairs of chuck taylor fakes from the local department store. just shoegoo em and throw in a vans pro sole and you're good to go. hella cheap and skates good.

nike force 180's. i think they have the "flight" 180s that are hightops as well. as far as regular shoes go they were pretty dope. i was happy to see that they had skateability as well. the strap doesnt get in the way if you actually have em strapped, especially since theyre higher up on the shoe. i got em for like, $35 at some nike outlet in atlanta.

Skated a pair of og dunks when they used to sell them at zumiez. I wonder if that was a mistake on their behalf because SB's were on the market they just didn't sell them. I don't know.

Pull up killing it in some team jordans while the kids at the skatepark are struggling in some exclusive busenitz colorways.

Adidas Shelltoes and Phantoms. In the 90s, a lot of guys rocked Pumas, AF1s, Sambas, Stan Smiths, etc. A few guys I knew even wore Nike and Adidas cross-trainers with a bunch of foam cushioning in the soles.

Aren't we forgetting something.... these are super sick for skating. Pretty sure a bunch of dudes were rocking these in Trilogy...

Killer thread. I hate skate shoes, have always worn shelltoes. They fit my feet perfect. Those Fila f-13s are great too.
I recently came across some Nike Air Trainer 1s in a little shoe shop, bought them for $30. Those are my next skate shoes for sure.

in the 90s i skated pumas,sambas and gazelles,it was great back then bc you could get them at foot locker for like $15-$20 dollars

i was playing a lot of basketball when i was 12-15 years old, until everyone in the team was at least one head bigger than me. anyway, i remember skating a pair of and1s made out of synthetic that skated pretty good. a lot of skateshoes were looking like basketball shoes back then anyway (es koston2, ...3)so i was not thinking it could be wrong.
skated an old pair of stan smiths to pieces when i was too broke to get real skateshoes. money problems were probably the main reasons for me when i picked a non skateshoe for skating. i skated some fila suede sneakers(decent), chuck taylors(not so pleasant for your feet imo), dr js(great and my favorite shape for a skate shoe), some dunks that i also got for really cheap(okay) and some indoor-soccer shoes i once bought for sports class. those were probably the best, i don't remember the brand, but they were probably adidas.
-
All about those Adi Superstars.
-
Skated a pair of the red gazelle skates that busnitz promoted when addidas first became a skate brand, couldn't find another pair after so I skated two pairs of gazelle 2 "training shoes." I imagine they skated almost exactly how the addidas "skate" model skates.
Grip wore out fast but the boardfeel and original grip was seriously perfect for skating.

really loved the adidas proshells. lasted literally forever.
The Campus with the cupsole were also nice and of course Puma Suedes.
Honorable mention: indoor football shoes. Pretty much liked them when it was pretty hard to find slim skateshoes in the early 2000's.

Always been a fan of skating in non skate shoes for whatever reason, my favourite have been these. Probably the best shoe i've ever skated in (this exact colourway). Think the material is nubuk and the sides are breathable but didnt just tear apart. Called the daily SE or something, found them in sports direct for ?20.

Saw a typical tennis dad at the skatepark the other day wearing these and to my suprise he ripped it up, was doing smooth k grinds

Probably the weirdest shoes I ever skated in were a pair of brogues. Came home from school one day and was locked out with no key so got a session on outside my house and straight fucked them up

I skate converse on and off for the fact that they fuck up the soles of your feet and dont last long. But damn they are good shoes to skate in, extremely cheap too. I want someone to skate in a pair of Superga's if anyones heard of them. There an italian sneaker company but would be so good to skate in, very grippy. They seem to make only smaller sizes... May actually be a womens shoe, fuck it.

There is 1000s of shoes out there that are not meant for skateboarding but probably skate 100x better than any shoe stamped with the class of
"Skateboard shoe" on it. Jordan's of course would be amazing, depending on which one but if i don't recall the 1 was the most popular shoe back in the day.
-
has anyone ever skated in the converse pro leathers? the ones that are pretty much a cupsole blazer? i want some soo bad
-
Aren't we forgetting something.... these are super sick for skating. Pretty sure a bunch of dudes were rocking these in Trilogy...
Im wearing a pair of sambas right now and i cant skate them. maybe just crusing around, ollieing curbs, maybe some no complys, but anything else i think they suck. they're really small shoes and the soles are really hard and dont grip as well as you would think. but i got them for free from a friend without the intent of skating in them.
I bought a pair of adidas campus' from marshals once for like $20 and those were great. same thing as the skate campus, but a cupsole. and less than half the price, which is great when youre broke.

Supergas have a weird sole to skate in. Only cruised around in mine...
These might be my favorite shoes ever for skating:

I feel like a little kid wearing "skate shoes" these days. I fuck with some of the stuff in the Adidas skate line but other than that I don't really go for any of the skate brands....killing the skate industry....whatever. I have a few pairs of Gravis stashed away from when those crazy deals were happening, though.
-
Sambas, all day!
-
Stuff i used to skate in:
- adidas superstars, i had these in all kind of colorways. Probably my favorite non skateshoe that is skated in...
- adidas campus, during the early 90's our local skateshop even carried these. I really liked them and still skate them today.
- adidas gazelle, great boardfeel and they old up quite well. always threw some gel soles in there.
- air max 1: in our area it was very common to skate in these. In the nineties these were laying in the bargain bins. And since all skateshoes were getti g reall tech with airbubbles and stuff, air max 1's werent that weird to skate in. All leather ones were crucial though... The ones with tons of mesh wouldnt even last a day...
- nike cortez. Tons of kids skated these here. Definitely in the "fuck skatebrands, we wear nothing but polo gear" days...
- clarks walllabees
-

Yeah sambas are good, amazing board feel. Went through a short samba skate phase a few years ago but they get beat up way too fast and the sole wasn't very grippy.

Ironically one of the best shoes I have ever skated, the Nike Auto Force 180. A hybrid between blazers and the air forces

Saying that you feel like a little kid if you wear "skate shoes" is kind of a strange statement to make if you're someone who likes skateboarding and is comfortable with that.
I don't really see anything juvenile about wearing skate shoes.

Like, what about "some of the stuff from the Adidas line" is any more grown up looking/feeling than other shoe companies? Those Superga's or whatever certainly don't look like more of a grown up shoe than any skate shoe...
-
MIght have abd, but best non-skate shoes you've skated in? Nike, pre skateboard acceptance.
-
OG blazers and Jordan IVs

Used to get these for under $60 many years ago before they got popular again lasted forever. The leather though was different almost like material.
I don't see how anyone could skate air forces. The sole is so thick and stiff.

Discriminating adults just look at them and say: "my, that's a handsome pair of classic, understated sneakers" rather than: "who makes those monstrosities?!"

can you elaborate more on these? how well do they grip, last, ect. I am debating on buying a pair of these. they look really good. thanks!

why not just get some vans lol!!
-
why not just get some vans lol!!
::)reasons not to get vans:
-they wear out in a week
-while breaking them in/skating them i get a layer of rubber on my grip tape
-they do not grip as well as they used to
-the material stretches out almost 2 sizes bigger(era pro)
-the heel part of the shoe rips in half. had this happen on multiple pairs of era pros and chukka lows
if those top siders are a better alternative then i am willing to try them. the grip seems like it will be better since they are designed to grip on wet surfaces. if you have any experience skating them please let me know how they skated, if not do not waste my time. peace

I grew up playing soccer, so naturally the first shoes I ever skated were indoor soccer shoes. I remember cruising in some Lottos and Sambas before I even knew there was such thing as an ollie. They're basically the same shoe, hardly any grip, but really good board feel.

Also, because I was young enough to be still be influenced by Nelly when he dropped 'Air Force Ones', I gave those a skate shot once the crispiness wore off. Felt like skating in shoes of concrete. Props to anyone who can rip in those, and mega props to Kyle James for killing it in the butter suede Tim's.

Haven't skated in these yet, and they weren't made for skateboarding, but I am buying them to skate in...
Adidas Court Flex

I just got the spezial and they rub the shit out of my right heal. Was this a problem for you?

were Simple considered a skate brand? I use to get hand me downs from my older sister who use to skateboard.
they were awesome. it would be cool to see Simple come back in a more revitalized manner.

Pretty sure gonz rode for them in 1994... So yes:-)
Loved those shoes

Loved these fuckers, Remember them lasting a good while too.

Had the red leather FC's back in 2005/6 And absolutely loved them, I know Gino had that Pearl white colourway but these were not designed for skating in mind (the ones I had were before the SB version), the mesh at the side was the first bit to get a hole in them then after that the toe gets fucked up, but while they lasted they were quality for low impact ripping!

These work boots that i have to wear for school. great control for any flip that spins a minimum of 180 degrees. straight regular flips are a no-no unless you wanna get credit carded

I have supergas I wear to work , they have a gum sole similar to a clarks shoe that is really grippy, funny I just skated to buy beer in them Friday and was thinking they are way more solid then vans, no support but the sole is well made. I also wear clarks dessert boots to work and sometime skate to the shop in them, again the gum sole is great.
-
No lie i skated some sperry's for a day haha. Those things were sick on the low. But id have to go with adidas sambas, those shoes are so damn good.
-
Anyone ever try out those Polo shoes that Pops always wears? Actually look decent for low impact skating and I want to give them a try.
PS: Does anyone know the exact name of them?

I started skating a pair of Nike Kill Shots recently
I got them a good few years ago and when I put them on recently
they felt like a really tight more sturdy pair of the Koston 1s for skating

Opinion on skating cortez?
I remember I skated them and they skated good. But you have to glue them or they won’t last more than a few days I think.
My only worries are if there’s a higher risk for injuries in them. What do you think?
-
Last year I skated a regular pair of Chuck lows and they were honestly so good. Hurt my feet, had to tear out the insoles, and felt on the bottom made them really slippery, but after I changed the insoles and rubbed the fur off it started to get decent. Flick was on point

Honestly regular chucks are my favorite skate shoes. I just put shoe goo along the sidewall and they’re perfect. Switched to blazer mids cause I need the padding to keep my old person ankles from folding but if my shit wasn’t destroyed I would skate thrifted chucks exclusively. Never tried the ctas pros they look like they fit kinda funny
-
My issue is that the CTAs pro low are always sold out at all the shops I go to. Pretty tough to find in my area and don't really wanna order online. Cons seems so focused on the Mids right now...
