Anybody else notice the problem of pebbles getting stuck in a real bad way in the threads of the soles? I feel like it's particularly bad in this shoe, to the point where I have to dig the pebbles out every single time I step on the board unless I want scratches on my griptape. Even walking 10 steps on sand for is enough for pebbles to get in the threads and they're not coming out easily. You have to use a key or whatever you happen to have handy.
It's like you'd have to carry your skateshoes to the spot and make sure not ever to step on anything but concrete.
Sorry about the rant but I'm going skating and I once again have to start the session with that bullshit, I just had to share this.
