Sam Nichols Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 The brief.. I want two pairs of shoes. One pair skater style for riding in. One pair do everything shoes for general non bike riding activities. Duties may include, but are not limited to; Luring in the opposite sex, slouching, chilling, drinking, shopping, etc etc Both pairs need to be wicked cool and ultra awesome. But I dont really know where to look for these? Ive tried alans bmx, kates skates, ASOS, chain reaction cycles and not really seen anything i like Any ideas?

JulianC Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I never buy shoes on the internet as I'm never sure of the size and fit, but if you are going to get them online you can often get decent deals at extremepie.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearded Midget Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) i got some from sportsworld for like 20 quid, really good shoes. nice and grippy, seem to take a good thrashing. i believe they are called airwalks, ill go double check. edit: yeh airwalks Edited June 23, 2008 by Bearded Midget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 For the second pair I would recommend Adidas, I like pretty much everything in the range, and they seem to be really popular at the moment. Especially like Gazelles, and a lot of the Y3 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakers O'Toole Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Adidas Forest Hills. Classic trainers! Plus you can get them in some really sweet colours, my favs being the blue and red ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Nike SB for both Edit: although I don't know what they are like for riding in, but everyone seems to like skating in them! Edited June 23, 2008 by JoNnY__Mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCircus Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) I've recently been really pleased with my Nike 6.0's. Other shoes I own I often find that after using them for a couple of months the back part above the heel starts to shred apart and the foam backing comes apart meaning it feels gay to walk in them, but these have had no problems whatsoever after using them for 6 months plus and look pretty much as new. They also give you strong sneaker game looks. EDIT: BUY IT FROM ROUTE ONE YOU PUSSY. Edited June 23, 2008 by TheCircus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew_Gibson Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I found the Nikes quite tight, I got 3 pairs of nike courts size 10. and tried a pair of Nike 6.0 and they were too tite. 11 were too big. Etnies Faction are nice though! Would ride in them though, they are quite thin soled Or High top look cool. or Mids!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Quinn Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 They are butt ugly. For casual i'd put in another vote for Adidas. Any colourway you like of Superstars, Stan Smiths, Gazelles or Forest Hills. For riding i've always liked the feel of orchid, i hate the look of jus about all skater style shoes though to be honest, will probably get a pair of black adidases to try riding in (cos all my white ones will jus f**k up super quick lol).

JonMack Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I should say really, for riding I used to wear Globes. For chilling I ususally wear Nike's, Air Max 90s, Air Max 1's, Vortex, Vengeance, Elite, etc. New Balance also make awesome shoes, check out 1500's, 574's or 576's. Or could get something like Saucony Jazz. Why has no one said http://www.size-online.co.uk/ yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Alex, they won't be stolen, just fakes. Good enough for me, f**k paying like £145 for real ones in the shop! Fake shoes f t w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
