Alister Burt Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hello everybody! Does anybody else here have feet this big, and could they reccomend some good (affordable) shoes for riding in? I can't find anything decent and afforable over a size 12. Thanks Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amso1337 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 try having a look in TK MAX, they usualy have some nice choice of shoes like DC, VANS and even sometimes nike 6.0's. i got my DC's for £7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I just ride in whatever shoes are near me when I leave the house. Pumps mainly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddbmxdude Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Dude, you have size 13 feet?? How tall are you? No wonder you're progressing so fast! Tall people just seem to be better at sidehopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alister Burt Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Thanks Amso, next time I'm in town I'll be sure to have a look! Ben, that's me aswell, but my shoes are completely torn up, and have no support at all for any part of my foot, I might aswell be riding in socks with soles. Edd! Haha, I'm 6 foot 3, probably does have quite a bit to do with it! Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 13 is fine, i've been a size 15 since i was 16 years old. Vans skate shoes have always been great for me. Walk tall and high and mighty sholuld sell them though with a 13 i'd imagine you'd have a much greater choice of manufacturers (DC etc). Large chunky skate style shoes won't make your feet look so ridiculously long and thin either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't find anything on High and Mighty, but walk tall seems to be a really good site in general. How long do the vans last you, and would you say they were worth that much? I just found a few pairs all around the £55 mark. Thanks again, this website's gone into my bookmarks for future reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, this website's gone into my bookmarks for future reference Well i didn't think i had had them for very long but on looking at some old riding videos i was weasring the same shoes i use now and the video was dated 2004. T^hey looked a bit mucky in the vid too so i can only assume i've had them for longer than that. So that works out at easily under £10 a year.

Alister Burt Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Oh wow, I was expecting a year or two at the very most! Once I've got the cash I think i'll have to invest in a pair, thanks a lot guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
