Only 4 models fit the bill: This old body likes to rotate my shit

GT Blazers x3
Blazer mids/lows x2
Dunks  x2
NB 440 x2

100% truth is there are to many shoes that i would still like to try or have tried. One that is absolutely stuck in my head for another buy is NB 255s though, i enjoyed the shit out of my first pair a couple of year back and the 440s has been so good to me.

I-Path Grasshoppers: 4-5 pairs in black leather, 2-3 pairs of dark blue leather, one pair of rasta colored suede and a pair of light brown suede ones.

That’s all I wore for almost 4 years.

Also:

6 pairs of Reynolds 3’s. They didn’t last long but skated like a dream. I miss this shoe.

Probably more but these are the first two that come to mind.


I wish the Grasshopper still existed.

New Balance 440
Stan smiths
Superstars
Busenitz pro
Suciu 2
Adiease

I used to work at an Adidas store so buying shoes with a 50% discount was a big factor in these.

had 3 or 4 pairs of the Reynolds 2, probably all time favorite skate shoe. That point in time i was also trying to get a pair of ES Koston 3s but never had my size at the shop. Crazy when you still see mint pairs of the K3 floating around on insta for crazy dolla amounts.....

Etnies Maranas, I've had 3 pairs. I had 4 different pairs of eS Accel silhouettes over the years. My favorite were the 15th anniversary editions and the Accel 3G Hi's.

I know I had a few pairs of the eS Muska shoe as a kid.

Right now I'm on my second pair of Osiris Relics - Great shoes.

Half cabs. Most frustrating and inconsistent skate shoe of all time.

Adidas Gonz Pro slip ons. Favorite skate shoe of all time for fit and feel.

I rarely like any shoe enough not to want to try something different next time.

accels back when i was young.

had two pairs of emerica templetons i think.

half cabs a few times.

old skools every now and then when i can find them cheap.

i skated two pairs of dc pures.

pretty much get a pair or two of blazers every year so far, two times gt lows. had two pairs of dunks, but only grs.

went through 3 pairs of g-codes and two leos(the first campus vulc like ones).

i have bought a few pairs of slip-ons, eras and authentics as well, but never intent to skate them, but inevitably do at some point, to the detriment of my feet.

actually had two pairs of koston nikes if you count the air max tooling version as the same shoe, which it basically is.

actually been skating mostly blazers for years now until i got the new tiagos and i think i will buy more tiagos in the future, excellent shoe. also i kind of don't want to fuck with nike anymore. spent enough money on the swoosh, even though i'm not really a fan. blazers are just great and dunks are very comfy. a lot of times i purchased a blazer like shoe of some other company and was disappointed. nowadays i don't even want to skate vulcs anymore though.

Half-Cabs - Been a consistently great shoe for me

Sk8-his - Don't wear those anymore, too thin and flimsy

Adidas Busenitz - Had one pair that was great, the pair I have now sucks

DC Kalis OG - Had a pair years back. Currently have a pair of the Butter Goods reissue that I really want to skate

Nike SB Gino FC in silver/white/grey/gum - These were great the first time around, but I recently bought an older pair and the heel's coming off. This is after I took them to a cobbler to make sure the the sole was glued to the shoe. Probably a lost cause now

Edit - Forgot to mention the Adidas Silas SLR and the Supra Elevate. Oddly enough the SLR wasn't as good the second time around, and the Elevates I bought have this weird heel that's sticking out at the back.

That's about it, I switch my shoes up all the time which probably does more bad than good.

old skool pros, like everyone else, since they mold to my feet well and the laces go down to the toe box.

only thing missing is ventilation, but the cure for sweaty feet is wool socks believe it or not.

Bunch of Dunk Mids when they were available
4 Pairs of Blazers
8-9 pairs of the PRod 7, possibly more. skated that shoe almost exclusively for 2 years straight
4 pairs New Balance 533 V2
4 pairs of eS Accel Slim Mid (only because they're dumb cheap on sale and one of the few midtop options out there)

Will probably end up skating more pairs of the Tyshawn and NB 1010 & 913's

I bought the 'Stand Up, Speak Up' FC's in both colorways, black and white back in 2004 or '5. I customized them and sold them. That's the only time I've bought more than one pair of the same shoe at the same time

Throughout the Years:
Fallen Rippers - 2
First skate shoes ever, loved them, but need to try other things. Looking at the new ones to try but got to many back up and shit I need to burn through.

Supra Vaiders - 3
Highschool Days, Fun shoe to skate but never realized that I was buying a half size too big for me.

New Balance 533 - 3
Bought the first two pairs for dirt cheap, skated through 1 but then my feet started giving out so gave away one and kept the 3rd as chillers. V2 was much better and should've bought more. 

New Balance 598 - 2
Bought around the same time as the 533's, Pretty sure these are what did my feet in, too narrow and half size up was too big, and end up giving away both pairs.

New Balance 288 - 2
First pair bought half size too big, tried skating them and foot just kept slipping around. Did burn through them though. Got a second pair and made the mistake of getting that weird New Balance leather upper thing they had. Hated that upper, but powered through and burned them out. Loved the look of them though and curious about the 288S.

New Balance 420 - 2
First pair skated through a half size too big, so gave it away when they stretched out too much, second pair bought the right size, but use them as chillers or back up skate shoes. Honestly loved how these skated once I swapped insoles. Might start skating these again as I've been wearing them more often these days.

New Balance 913 - 3
A bit Narrow but if these shoes aren't great. Laced them up in ways to accommodate my my wide feet and first pair lasted 6 months. Have the other 2 as standbys as I know they're great, but I'm a tester at heart so wanted to try out other stuff while knowing these are there if I ever need them. 
 
Etnies Jameson HT - 2 (3?)
Probably the best high top I've ever skated, and probably the best shoe I skated when getting back to skating. Another shoe that's Durable af, and the sole burned through before the upper did. Bought them when they were being phased out for the cheap and have the other two chilling as back ups or might give them to family that also starting to skate again. Change the insole asap.

Emerica Wino Slip - 2
Bought them for the cheap and liked how they skate with Fps and It was a minute since I skated slips. Burned through one pair and use the other pair pretty much as one of my dailys. 

CONS CTS - 3
Bought first pair and loved them back in the high school days. Bought 2nd pair when I just got back into skating but burned through the canvas super quick, and wasn't feeling the insole. 3rd pair I skate from time to time but wanted to try other things. Use them as chillers.


Been fighting the urge to pick up new shit as I already have hella shoes that I need to burn through, evidence by what I posted up top. Haven't been skating much so it's taking even longer to get through shit.

I feel like people are just replying to this thread with their own lists of shoes rather than actually participating in any sort of discourse...

Vans era, authentics, and slip ons. The China model.

Habitat shoes were good.

The hufs that looked like old schools.

The dan Drehobel vox pro model.  I think the second one?

Through the decades.
As a kid, Mom bought multiple pairs of those VSW with the rubber toe. They were from TJ Maxx, so cheaper than the skate shop.
BPSW era, I had at least 10 pairs of Puma Clydes. Every color.
Couple pairs each Airwalk One and Jim.
Etnies Sal 23
Dukes (did they make more than one shoe? the Jeremy Wray one)
ES Koston 1
KCKs
Does multiple free pairs count? I worked in the industry from '99 to '03. And maintained those contacts afterwards. For a good 2 or 3 years I skated nothing but 88 Markovich shoes.
Then I had a friend who worked for Black Box. So I'd get discounted Fallens. There was this one JT shoe that I loved. I think it was called the Rival. Couple years straight in that.
Shortly after began my Reynolds infatuation. That lasted 5 or 6 years. First his Emerica Low model. Then the G6. Maybe 10 to 15 pairs of each. This just recently ended.
I really like having a go to shoe. Once I find something that works, I stick with it. It's one less thing to think about then.
I've been experimenting lately. Trying to find that next go to. And I'm pretty sure I found it. The Etnies Joslin. So far I'm just on my first pair. But I will be getting more.

Wow. Never seen those before. Definitely what es should be doing instead of the bullshit they’re on now.



They should also make these babies

For me, it's exciting to think about what I was into over all the time I've been skating. I definitely get swept up by hype, so for a shoe to actually fit the bill is pretty rad. Having said that, there are a couple of times where I have been fooled twice.

P.s. my name is not bill, it's Craig. I missed where the crailtap Craig shit came from, so all that feels like a personal affront.
