I bought a pair of Asics Split Second VI shoes at Sports Authority for about 60 bucks and they're working well.
Also buy a pair of neoprene sock to wear inside and go one size larger on the shoes.

ankle support, more padding for your foot in the foot holds, better traction... don't always know what is in the water below you

Hey Dan,
Since your in Jersey and probably ride in cold water, look into getting some Neoprene Gill Boots. I use them for sailboat racing in 420's, so traction and warmth definitely counts (especially early spring with 45 degree water temps and common capsizing!!). They provide good traction and show no signs of wear except for a little color fade, and are a few (almost 4 years) old. Nice and warm too, but not uncomfortable in the summer as well. Warmer then shoes.
I think I paid 60 bucks for em, but worth the cash.

Plus us much less likely that you'll tear a toe off if they're all neatly contained....

i wear adio skate shoes haha, cause i cant afford to buy a set of wrestling shoes cause my ski eats up all my budget, but they work great and stick in my footholds very well.

The skate shoes must get heavy!
I have a pair of adio's on right now, the tounge itself must weigh 10lbs alone when wet...

I prefer skate shoes over anything. I like having all the padding and major arch/sole padding. My favorites are Vans rowlys2 since they arent super thick like some other skate shoes, but i also have a pair of adios that are pretty thickly padded which i love, they dont get too heavy.
Im going to try a pair of wakeskate shoes though this summer, like the Reef Byerly wakeskate shoes.

Save your money, I have 3 sets of Byerly's and all 3 of them the glue falls apart after 3 days of skiing. I still wear them. They just look like shiz
