i just got new vans AV.

there are already tearing up.

Im looking for a shoe that is cheap,doesnt tear quick, comfortable, and feels good to grip the board!

i already know nike dunks, and lakai manchesters are good shoes, but they can get pricey.

Thanks!

I just got manchester selects for $70 and i really like them so far. Definitely worth the money. Not much else I can help you with. I've skated vans a couple times and they've all ripped pretty easily.

try adidas skateboarding if you havent. I bmx but i have the adidas campus vulc as pictured and its one of the more cofortable shoes ive had. the shoes dont slide of my pedals are easy as others either and they are decently priced.

Fuck Ya. The Janoski is by far the best shoe Nike has ever put out. If you don't want Nike I'd suggest Es'. I love the Theory its super grippy and has awesome board feel and last decently long. Also I like the Square One its a bit thicker and not as good board feel as the Theory but still a good shoe. But I suggest getting the Nike SB Janoski if you like simple yet protective skate shoes.

For some reason I really like just regular Adidas Superstars for skating.  They have like an insert where the arch of your foot is and I really like it. 

Best skate shoe I've ever owned by far are SB Dunks though.  One of the most comfortable pair of shoes i've ever had.

Just keep a good eye on whiskey militia, I scored a pair of Gravis Cortex skate shoes last week, they're super sick looking and they have phenomenal grip. One of the best pair of shoes I've ever owned.

Also heres a tip for whatever shoe you pick. Put a few layers of super glue on the seams where you flick your foot for ollies and kickflips. That way it will make them last a little longer.

Anyone on NS rock Fallen shoes? I have 4 pairs of them (get them flowed through a friend) and I reckon they are sweet. Don't know what retail is on them but wicked range and I find them real comfy.

As a fellow longboarder, I must say that you made a mistake of posting that in this thread.
