Title: what shoes should i get for bocking?
Post by: jemus1101 on November 06, 2010, 03:01:25 PM

been bocking for quite a few weeks now but i need new shoes because the airwalks i am using at the moment really aren't suitable.  :)

I use airwalks and find them ok, if your having trouble with the straps diggin in to your feet maybe you could try some more solid footwear timberlands for example

the main problem is the side of my shoes folding over, i can wear them but i just think there must be a better option.

they were like £40 in the sales and there fantastic.

I been stiltin since bout febuary this year (2010). I used to use airwalk skate trainers wich where good but for some fudged up reason it wore the soles down like hell.

I have recently found that a cheap pair of running shoe are actually really comfortable.

Hope this helps.

How can we realistically say what shoes to wear, if we do not know the rest of your outfit?

oo dont get me wrong, obviously shoes r important.  But 1 has to consider the whole, complete 'effect'.

Think colour, now nice stilts that 7's  r.   Yellow, its a bit of a problem isnt it.

New  EVo's  chrome/siver/ bare alli  and black...sheek un slimmin. And pretty neutral so pretty much anything else can go.  Keep with the black theme ...good. Or go contrast   with a brite primary tee and matching converse...in these drab november days   the photos will really stand out! ( oo  when put in the balance...looking good v feeling good?)

If u like the shoes and ONLY those shoes  but things r uncomfortable....try a bit of padding. Tape foam to the bindings
