The ***ULTIMATE*** what shoes do you wear thread

[the only couch rider]

dan, get them a size larger, and as they mentioned already wear a neoprene sock inside, and also a lace up ankle brace.. its all the rage now! :biggrin:

i wear an 11.5 so i ordered a size 12

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

good to know...Thanks! Guess ill stick to my vans...with 2 seasons on them and still holding perfect.

yeah my shoes dont get heavy at all and the extra padding is nice, plus i got a whole season of riding on them and they show zero signs of wear.

I used to rock shoes on the blaster.....but the wrestling shoes have a much better "feel" on the ski, and fit in the straps better.

I felt like wrestling shoes eat more sand than my slippery shoes, I guess I need to stay off the beach more often... However I need to get an ankle brace, and a sock to go in there... Maybe that will make it feel better, and not as much room for sand to go in there...

I am a size 11, and I got size 12 adidas, they are HUGE... but I got them for free so I can't bitch... I will be getting a sock and braces this year... no insurance, so I will spluge for braces..

does anybody else get bumps on the tops of thier feet? i had one on each side, i guess my foot holds, or shoes don't fit tight enough, or have enough padding. i think i am going to get some larger shoes and some neoprene socks. i am using some nike wrestling shoes, they work good.

 

[michael950]

Speaking of neoprene socks, what brand do you use and how thick (2mil or 3)?

 

[Fathom]

Use the ones from the Slippery Comp boots when the shoe itself falls apart.

neo socks can be had at dive shops pretty cheap...I get them for 10 bucks a pair...

the asics give awesome feel and fit nicely in straps, but are a PITA to get on and off when wet and you have to dump sand out of them...

my biggest complaint with them though is lack of arch support...after a full day of riding my feet HURT

Yea i used to get gnarly bruises on the tops of my feet when i wore booties..skate shoes work perfect cause they have alot of padding on the tounge

 

[sjetrider]

Cheapest way bro, I suggest the $39.99 split second V's

I wear wrestling shoes (Asics) on one boat due to doubled up underlayment. And I wear New Balance running shoes on the other that has single layer underlayment, for foot hold fitment only. I prefer New Balance for traction, but both are OK. I do wear neo socks under both as well.

Riding Shoes

I am going to buy some riding shoes in the soon. I know a lot of you guys are using Asix wrestling shoes. They are cheap and they work great, but they don't make them big enough for me. I have a pair of Nike wrestling shoes now that I use for other activities. For the price of a pair of Nike wrestling shoes I can buy a pair of shoes made for the water. What would you guys recommend? Buy the wrestling shoes or something else? O'Niell, Slippery ect.

Thanks
Brent

 

[WaveDemon]

wrestling shoes. they outlast the water shoes.

 

[fwi]

I have a pair of diving boots, $50 at a pro dive shop.

Wtf? Sasquatch? :bigeyes:

:haha: :haha: :haha: That there is funny.:biggthumpup:



I have learned to never buy anything other than wrestling shoes.

 

[bit]

Wtf? Sasquatch? :bigeyes:

haha I wear a size 15.

So you guys all think I should just get wrestling shoes?

 

[Jumper]

I used to wear Asics wrestling shoes, but just use old running shoes as I replace them now. I like the better cushioning and support that the running shoes give me compared to the wrestling shoes. Plus they don't cost anything

You don't need a hull, mount a motor and pump right onto your wrestling shoe.
