These slip-ons are great for emo fashion but i had some plain black ones and skated in them only a few times as well as wearing them up town. Before I knew it, there was a hole in the right hand shoe. I'm goofy stance so when I ollie my right foot slides up the deck. I think the material just wasn't thick enough to withstand the friction from my griptape...
Actually it's a month or two later now and I realise the problem was probably caused by my foot being unusually wide, because I trie don some converse shoes and they simply don't fit across the width!
how good did you think they were?
