Back to the basics

There are a few kinds of base shoe designs that can be used to skate in according to what style a person would skate.

The most important part of a shoe for any skateboarder is the sole.
Every skate shoe has a flat sole with a pattern with the most area of contact to prevent or reduce the chances of slipping off the surface of the board.

The next is the body of the shoe and what material it is made out of.
Skateboarders are very choosy about what style of shoe they wear because their shoes are direct representations of their personalities and styles.

The styles of shoes that can be skated in are a few going from the bulky, old style padded sneakers to the modern low profile shoes to basketball dunk styles to full ankle covering high tops.


Every one of these styles can be played around with and can be customized to not only represent a person's style but to provide the maximum amount of protection to the skateboarder and also maximum mobility.
