What shoes to buy

[Butterz]

Okay, so my last few pairs of shoes have been janoskis and they have been good but I want to try something new and have no clue what to get as my current shoes have almost had it. I want something with a bit more protection as well.

I am going to say you should try some HUFS, specifically the Sutters or the Classics. They are on the thinner side and have great board feel. They are durable for the most part. The grip is comparable to Vans, showing some early signs of wear but remain sticky and supportive.

Reynolds Cruisers. You wont look back.

Nike SB Gatos

i disagree on the sutters. they don't hold up very well. you can get much better for that price

the MJ in particular looks really good and skates well from what I've heard. The Alvarez is also a great durable shoe

Thickker than Janoskis but still skateable.. Get these gems, great grip and uncanny style

Yeah the Vincents are some of my favorites. The Griffin is great too.
