Skate Shoes

Skate shoes are designed specifically for use with skateboards and typically have a flat sole made of rubber or polyurethane, a suede or leather composition, and double or triple stitching.

Skate shoes are also functional and include features that help prevent heel bruises and also help increase board Feel through increased flexibility, and enhancing grip.

They are also built for durability. Quality leather and suede as well as plastic underlying toe caps help increase the durability of the skate shoe. Lace loops and protectors are also designed to prevent laces from shredding by shielding areas that come in contact with the grip tape of the board.
