Skate shoes

Skating demands a lot from footwear ¬– trick riders are constantly scraping their shoes over their decks to perform ollies, kick-flips or heel-flips. To prevent fast deterioration, skate shoes are often made from thick leather and increased protection around the sole of the foot.

Some of the most popular companies that make skate shoes include:
• DC
• Es
• Etnies
• Emerica
• World Industries

Skate shoes have become increasingly popular for skaters and non-skaters a like. Many people prefer their casual aesthetic to the athletic style to other sneakers, as well as how long lasting the footwear is.
