Some thoughts about skate shoes:

"I got me Satisfaction!!!!! Friends, listen. I'm not unlike most folks living in the good old USA. Debts. Impossible decisions. Chomping at the bit just to stave off the insane tortures of work, but I must say that I subscribe to the simple pleasures, and what I look forward to is having that one little thing that means a little more than just a little. My Classic sk8 shoes rules!!!! How comfortable are they? There is not a prince on earth or otherwise who is able to glide across this terra firma with more ease, and with a softer and more cushioned touch. Go ahead spend two weeks pay on the next 'magic slipper'. Woe to the fool who can't savor these jewels. I love these skateboard shoes, man!!! And, they are way,way cool!!! Once I have some more cash, I'm gonna get another pair, and then another. Ad infinitum. Furthermore I extol the virtues of the store to everyone who will listen. Peace and satisfaction are hard to come by, don't think twice, carpe diem and buy these skate sneakers and enjoy!!"

"The only skateboarding shoes you really need! I was looking for a non-leather, non-vinyl shoe that I could use while working-- which for me, consists of hard manual labour. They are excellent for this type of work, as they have sturdy soles, and uppers, and the toes will not rip out like many casual skateboard shoes that I have worn during hard labour. However, one must be careful fo the size they buy-- order a half of a size less than what you wear, and if you're going to wear them everyday as I do, a good pair of insoles make them fit better, and give better support. I highly recommened waterproofing them, despite the converse holes that let deep water in. Because without waterproofing, you can't step in a puddle an inch deep without being swamped."

"I ordered these for my son who saw them on a friend. My son lives in another state and asked me to please order him a pair. He called me when they arrived and said "Mom, thanks, I love these skateboarding shoes they look great and feel so comfortable, I put them on right away, and I keep looking at them in the mirror. He had on his abrecrombie & fitch cargos."
