get a job you pussies
If you skate Half Cabs like I do, the side will blow out way before the soles are even worn down at all, if you don’t glue them or whatever. It would be nice to be able to get a new pair once a week after they rip, but I am living on a Caribbean island right now where there are no skate shops, and international shipping is outrageously expensive, so I have to make what I have last as long as possible in between sporadic trips back to the States. I think it is much funnier to buy a new pair of shoes once a week because you don’t want to put a little shoe goo on a hole in a pair of otherwise perfectly skateable shoes. Waste not, want not.
