I need some new skate shoes be cause my old ones are trashed. I’ve gotten Vans, Dc, nss, and they pretty much fall apart after 3-4 weeks of use(which really sucks because I shelled out way too much money for name brand shit that wasn’t any better than the $5 crap I got). Anybody know of any cheap shoes that will last me longer than a month?

Well you must be doing something wrong, cause I used to skate all over the place with my old pair of Vans, and they’re still good.
And when I didnt have a car, I skated to work. Plus, I was a busboy, and most of the people I worked with were lazy mother-fuckers, so I was always having to skate back and cover for them.

Get Vans. comfortable and last forever. Etnies are bull-shit. The are comfortable i will give them that. but they suck. They have no functional purpose. They fall apart and don’t last very long. My shoes last me a 3-4 years before i get new ones and my etnies only lasted 6 months. Defianetly get Vans.

I used to wear skate shoes, but i also find they break too often, i switched to basketball shoes
and i didnt even pay retail on it (179.99), i got it on clearance from where I work for 69.99 + 50% off
so it totaled out to 39.99
I find basketball shoes make a better get away from cops
your shoes dont go flying off

I have a friend that wears moccasins. He would always get yelled at in gym class.

i went through like a pair a month, because they had no soles, and the leather always wore out.
i still have a pair that have a dime sized hole in the bottom though.

Buy Macbeths. I swear to god, probably some of the most comfortable shoes you will wear, and they last you good too. I’ve had the same pair for almost 3 years now, and they still haven’t let me down.
