buddy Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 vans slip ons all the way. rock on.... na try -alls or skate shoes whatever floats your boat really i love the try-alls though. rock on indeed my man! big chunky f*ck off Vans well comfy (N) I dont think it matters too much what your wearing as long as it isnt like clogs or stilletoes haha :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp101 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Haha, I have a pair of slipons, they hold well to the pedal, haha, not to my foot. If you want something with laces ( why don't they bring back velcro?? ) Vans Escobars or No schools, they have checkered bottom soles. If you have a store that sells cheap sneakers, etc, find a pair of shoes with checkered bottoms, such as These you'll be set. You don't want to spend 40 pounds on a shoe that's only purpose is to be thrown around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo_Monkey Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 wear what u feel comfortable in - skate shoes are perfect, my mate uses try alls they are good but no better than my vans nb: you have to wear shoes with ankle support for trials comps - this is why trials shoes were invented i dont think they are that much better than a set of vans (tnt's are my personal fave) the best shoe for trials is one that supports your foot properly (which sucks if you like oversized skate shoes like me) i recently got a pare of ES skate shoes these are bloody brilliant for trials they give loasd of support and have gippy soles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMonkey Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I'm a 13, I've never once had any amount of struggle to find shoes. Actually scratch that, I've never even struggled to find decent shoes. :) I have a pair of Etnies Escamillas but they're slippers at the moment (Shredded laces so they're nice and comfy) wear Adios most of the time, dunno what type but they're Adios. And I didn't get em because of Bam "The Fag" Margerine or whatever his name is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
