Worst shoes you ever skated?
« on: November 04, 2011, 06:39:43 PM »
I remember i used to have these black leather Globe Mojo's when i started skating. the leather was way too slippery and they felt super big, even for back then. Learned kickflips right before i got them and couldn't do them anymore afterwards. 2nd worst was TK stacks from supra. why the hell would you make a skate shoe with such a shallow groovepattern on the sole!? Anyway, what's the worst skateshoes you've ever had and why?

The lakai telfords, blew out in two weeks and the grip just sucked. Also the dcs munition ct, the heel stabilizer broke in half and would always slip out.

similar god-awful results with the hsu low.. definitely the worst shoes i've skated. i see the telfords getting a lot of hate on here, but the pair i had were decent enough..

Worst shoes:
1) Adio Kenny Anderson V2. The toe cap was super narrow. Would cause my toes to bleed when i'd skate them.
2) Supra TK Stacks. They felt like I was just wearing socks. Couldn't skate in them, just chill in them now.

I skated pair of nike 6.0 mavrks and they fell apart in like 5 days maybe they good for bmx but definitely not for skateboard. I would never buy any 6.0 shoe anymore.

Emerica Mobb. The stitching on the sides came apart after skating it after only 4 days and the sole sucked. Shallow grooves plus a fake ass cup sole that felt like a vulcanized.

I wasnt a big fan of the reynolds cruisers. they fitted weird and felt weird to skate in. They were durable though.

Some pair of osiris circa the storm era. They had a solid rubber bit at the front of the toes - but the rest of the upper was soft. Every time i landed the rubber bit would snag perfectly between my big toe and toenail and wrench the toenail off a little more. I was poor, they were new, i tried everything i could to stop it happening but the agony continued until they pretty quickly got binned. Ive had badly designed shoes, shoes that blew out quickly (ipaths on both counts) but no other shoe has caused pain akin to chinese torture methods so they win. On the flip side ive had shoes that have been almost too good - gotten so bored of them (its always the plain ones) yet they soldiered on and i couldnt justify binning them..

I had one pair of black vans AV's then I got another in blue a while after.  I hated the second pair.  I think it was because they were blue. I've been sticking to black shoes to skate in since then.

osiris smoliks and more recently nike salazar cup soles.

both shoes equal to this but without the flexible grip and feel of toes.

Fallen Stings - looked like clown shoes on me and the grip was fuckin horrible


Circa CX111 - Boardfeel was so bad I took out the insoles and it did nothing, now they're my outdoor shoes (have the black/red/white colorway). Also the flexibility is bad, they still have broken in.
