Elements Of Skateboarding Shoes

Getting the right type of shoes for skateboarding can be difficult

, especially given the wide range now available and the various form factors that are all supposed to help you achieve the best performance possible. Although the basic design for most skateboarding shoes, from Vans to Nike SB, is the same, all the popular brands promise to offer you something different to their competitor. The difficult is in deciding what is a gimmick and what is actually worth paying more out for. The best skate shoes are a perfect mixture of form, design, strength and comfort quite a tall order to match, especially when you want them to last a good long while. In fact, the major complaint skaters have regarding their footwear is that they just do not last long enough. Even with triple stitching a feature of all best brands from the likes of Nike SB, up to the eye-wateringly expensive, Fallen Footwear a lot of shoes just wont last the course. Or rather, they never last as long as keen skateboards would like given the high cost premium that puts them well above the price of most conventional sneakers and trainers. So what should you consider when trying to find a great pair of skate shoes that will not let you down after a few sessions?

The first element is clearly the quality of the workmanship and the materials. Vans have long been famed for the care and attention they put into their products and have been on the vanguard of production innovations that have seen the lifetime of their products rise exponentially. Their models range from the rather skinny canvas models that are ideal for experienced skaters, to some more chunky models that will withstand almost anything that they are thrown against. Globe and Nike SB are also notable for their build quality, with the latter company really upping their game over the last few years to try and mitigate their initial lack of popularity as they attempted to make headway into a novel sales niche for them. The best quality brands will eschew glued soles or components and ensure that the areas that are going to take the most beating are stitched for additional strength.

The materials that the best brands are using has increased in quality over the years and as new synthetic materials evolve, many brands have moved away from using leather in favour of synthetic products that offer greater strength, comfort and protection whilst still looking great.
