I love VANS
ask the kids at the skate shops. I’m sure they will love to sell you a pair of shoes. They run up to like 60 dollars and stuff
vans
and they look good too
cool you skateboard too? i skate sometimes.
n e ways the bet shoes r like VANS…. i kno some more but i dont remember it sorry! but vans are cool…
I could name a million, there are Circa’s, DVS, Vans, Globe, Supra, Nike SB, Element, Adio, DC, Lakai etc.
Check out skate shop web sites to find a pair he would like based on colour and style. There are tons of different kinds out there.
VANS!!!!
SLIP-ONs
or LACE-UPS
Fallen shoes and DC shoes work really well.
Vans, Vans, and Vans.
They have some really cute ones for girls, too, Mom!
yae finnaly a question i can relate to
DC* one of my fav skate brands of apparel
Etnies
emerica
Vans!! (or DC and Etnies)
NIKE 6.0 ARE HOT! not only do they look kick *** but they are specially made for skateboardin!
etnies, dc, dvs, vans, adio, es, globe…. if you wanna order, you can go to your local mall and look in journey’s or a similair store
i love adio, they are very comfortable, and come in a bunch of differant styles, so he can find something he likes really easily. also, they seem to last pretty long.
i think ‘Globes’ would be the ultimate for him.
remember when skateboarders do jumps they grind their foot along the board so get something with reinforcement in the little toe area of the shoe..the outer side.
skate shoes are very chunky with big thick tongues and some skate companies make shoes that arent for skating aswell so remember that when you go shopping.
the kinda chunky ones are for skateboarding and others are probably just for trend.
other popular brands are vans, etnies, DC , element,
globe would be the best i think
I rle like Etnies shoes… very comfortable… very padded for skating, along with DC–very good… Circa are also good but I don’t think they’re as comfortable, some people disagree. They are about the same price as most other skate shoes… whichever you get, I’m sure he will ?love?. Also, get the actual shoes, with the laces, not the flat-types with the elastic [slip-ons], those are NOT what I call Skate Shoes… so good luck! =]
Try and check some out, but most of these shoes can also be found in stores like Journeys, in your local mall. [hopefully] =] Here are some of my suggested links of this site…

*Heck, they’re all good, but those are my favorites!!! =]

even if you dont have a pac sun (pacific sunwear) around you can get the idea of some of the brands and then see if any nearby places have them…it all depends on what he likes and whats best for him when skateboarder..although that shouldn’t really matter..lol
um…fallen shoes are nice…i personally like etnies and Adio. chances are if you get vans a lot of people will have the same shoes as you…if you want some thing not alot of people will have…dont go for vans…they are good shoes just a lot of people have them.
uh id have to say vans, nike just good sport shoes or a shoe that has a good flat bottom. i myself wear vans for that but ima girl so he mite wear diff.
vans, etnies, DC
