The Herman cup sole was my favourite shoe to skate in. Looks wise, I’d say Vans Era’s have timeless style, but I would never skate them again. Just not a good match for my foot shape.

dc Rick Howard.. the 2nd one I think .. they were Lo cut
Kck’s I liked the black/gum

Accels
Koston 3 (you can hate me now)
Lunar Gato
and the Busenitzs probably far and away my favorite of all time, can't think of a single other shoe I know for a fact I won't have any issues doing any of my tricks with, skate great out of the box, last long as fuck (superglued up at least), and always look nice

no one wants to read a paper about fucking skateboarding (shoes especially) .. research something relatable to your fucking teacher that they actually want to read fuck

We’re industrial design students and we’re designing a shoe, not writing a paper about it. I thought it was clear from my OP.
But thank you for the suggestion.

early 2000's accels, the modern ones feel like fake chinese bootleg versions of the pair I have from 2004.

My favorite skate shoes are ones I remember skating in high school before I had knee surgery, which changed skating in a few different ways for me.

Remember skating a couple pairs of Accels because I loved that shoe, and dug the Es Koston 1 a lot. There was a Circa shoe Appleyard skated all the time before his pro shoe, that was a lot of fun to skate. I also remember liking the Appleyard Circa shoe as well.

Overall, the Accels were probably my favorite from back in the day.
Currently the CTAS pro is probably my favorite to skate in. About to start skating some one stars soon, but they are nearly past being broken in from using them at work.

My favorite sole is the g6 cup. Every shoe I've had with that is great.

I love the feel of the marana mid. Emerica hsu 2 mid is fantastic. The globe mahalo appleyards felt great but the sole wore out real quick. NB 913 are really nice too, the most 'tech' shoe I've ever had.

For thinner shoes, marana vulc mid is best. For thicker shoes, I'd say Reynolds g6.

I'd imagine you'd probably like the Bruins if you like the new FCs, maybe even the new Gatos but I haven't been able to give em a shot to size them up yet.

JimGeko · « **Reply #46 on:** April 06, 2019, 06:10:27 AM »

I recently had a good deal on some State Salem lows. Skated them twice and the felt real boggy and flexible in the sole. I realise now that I'm liking a stiffer soul. Currently skating some HUF Cromer 1 and they feel better when it comes to stiffness but im not really feeling the zero padding anywhere. I'm considering going for some cup-soles next. Can anyone recommend some nice cup-soles?

roba · « **Reply #47 on:** April 06, 2019, 06:19:24 AM »

my top 3 skate shoes:
half cab pros
matchcourts
one star pros

i'm skating the state salems rn and they seem aight but we will see. i had the mercers before and they skated well but the stitching on the toe was a little too low and it ripped quickly.

Almost certain there’s already been a thread like that, but the academic year is coming to an end and me and my friends are making a skate shoe for our thesis project. We want to know what are slap’s favorite shoes, what kind of technology people like and what looks the best on the eyes of the public. Also, if there’s anybody who has any info on how and where to sample a shoe and how much it would cost, we would really appreciate it. Anyways, go off, slap, every post is appreciated here.

Sampling a shoe is a long and difficult process. Y'all won't have enough time to outsource it, assuming your final reviews are in May. When I was in ID school I made a shoe, sewed it myself and board-lasted it (old form of shoe construction) and glued it to a sole that I designed, modeled in Solidworks, and 3d printed. Wasn't a functional shoe, but was a looksie prototype at least!

I also did ID and made a skate shoe for my thesis. Very unlikely you will get a sample made in time. Best bet is to buy a last on ebay (there are a bunch right now for air jordan 1s, about $100 a set I think) watch whatever vids on youtube you can find about sewing shoes together, and as stated above, model your tooling in solidworks or whatever software you are comfortable with that can be converted into a 3d print. If you want to get crazy you can make a mold with your 3d print and actually pour some rubber like compound into it for a more realistic finish. Hopefully you have someone in you program who knows anything about shoes.. Anytime I had a question about something I always got an " I don't know anything about skateboarding or shoes, so I cant really help you." Needless to say I did not do so hot. I also did not design my tooling in a 3d modeling software because I didn't know how, and I was too much of a sh*t head to learn, so I made my sole from clay. It didn't look great.

Old Dekline shoes like the Villian, and Sixer
Osiris Duffel cupsole was actually great.
Supra Skytop 3 skated good
Nike Koston 3 hyperfeels
Nike SB Dunks
Nike SB Blazer (I enjoyed the XT mids, and have a pair of the Donovan’s)
I actually love my pair of Adidas 3ST 001

Any good high/mid top cupsoles out there? I’m not really up to speed on shoes these days.

CONS ONE STAR CC WITH THE MOTHER FUCKING LUNARLON INSOLE
[close]

i loved that shoe with the lunarlon. it looked/felt/skated incredible.

i skated 3-4 pairs of these sb's back when they were around and liked them a lot.

had two pairs of these dunks and they were awesome.

at least 5 pairs of these.

this shoe was really sick, skated a few pairs, but probably too thin for me now. rowley spv with nice waxed laces.

when i first became obsessed with andrew reynolds, i would have killed for this shoe in this colorway, but by the time i could afford my own shoes they'd moved onto the 2's.

I'd kill to find a pair of those spvs always looked so good

off subject question, is grip really a deciding factor in buying shoes? I have never once thought about the sole of a shoe or what the grip pattern looks like, but I see people on here and in real life stressing it. I remember when the HUF classic came out everyone was scared of the sole.

I also skate mob maybe that makes a difference.
