keep an eye on all those online daily sales sites (catchoftheday, buyinvite, brandsexclusive, ozsale) If you’re not in a hurry and can wait a few weeks, something pretty cheap will come up on there probably. I’ll let you know if i see anything.

I got the Nike SB Prod Vrods and so far they have lasted pretty good.
Here:

I had these old DC’s from around 4-5 years ago and I used them for skating recently and their still holding up pretty good, despite how old they are.

Like these but green:

Support ya local Cabby, even if it costs ya more $$$!!!!!

And keep in mind that just like car tyres, the rubber on skate shoes will harden as they get older no matter if they are bein worn, or if they have been sittin in storage for a few years!!!!!

When it comes to shoes some places will have sales on footwear and you can pick up some good deals. Unfortunately good skate shoes don’t come cheap they always hit that $80 and up mark. So ;ooking for sale shoes and skate specific ones at that can make the difference.

These are what I am currently skating with:

Havent skated with cupped soles or full swede. Would like to try as I can see it getting heaps more grip and control to the deck. But I will probably use these till they are unusable
