5 Things To Look For When Buying New Skate Shoes

1) FIT : You want to get the very best fit possible when buying yourself a new pair of skate shoes. The best time for shoe shopping is at night because your feet actually swell during the day (or after a good skate session) due to heat. For size you need about 1/2 inch between the big toe and the end of the shoe. Also make sure the heel of your foot rests comfortably at the back of the shoe.

2) GRIP : A pattered sole give you a sure grip on your board. Brands like DC and Vans have excellent grip on their soles. The last thing any skater wants is slippery feet when skating. So make sure whatever shoe you go with it has an excellent grip and pattered sole.

3) FLEX : You need a durable shoe that is also lightweight and provides a really great flex. Brands like Adio have special "Flex grooves" which give you maximum flexibility while maintaining total comfort. Flex is very important. Who wants to feel like they are wearing ridged hard shoes when skating? Not us.

4)DURABILITY : If you spend alot of time skating then you are going to need a tough skate shoe. One that will stand up to punishment from your board and from the street!Look for leather sides for good wear and tear, a rubber toe and even lace protectors. All will add to the life of your shoes. Some shoes now feature internal "lace hiders" which keep them totally out of the way. Nobody wants to deal with unruly laces while skating. Also look for a thick and durable sole.

5)STYLE : You gotta love them if you're going to skate in them every day!So be sure to grab something that you think looks cool and fits your style. At the end of the day functionality is important but if you don't love how they look on you then chances are they will see more dust then skate parks. With such a mind blowing selection of skate shoes out today finding something to meet your skating and style needs has never been easier. Follow our tips and you will do just fine.
