How to Buy Good Skate Shoes?

yeah this i the part i like...skate shoes..very comfortable you know when hang out with it..plus your wear it with short pants..it look cool..So many skate shoes now available at skate shop..just pick one and pay..hahaha$$$...But how to Buy Good Skate Shoes.....
Choosing the right shoe is more a matter of personal style than actual experience.




Steps
1)Decide if you really need skate shoes. If you aren't going to be skating too much, then you don't really need any.
2)Pick a brand that has been around for a while, most of the time these are the best ones. Vans, Adio, Etnies, Converse, & DC are all pretty good.
3)Think about your skateboarding style. If you want to do tricks than you need to pick a tougher shoe. Try to get one with a thicker sole and durable botttom. This means if you are a girl, you should get some boy shoes. The girl's shoes aren't really as good as the boy's, probably because girls aren't expected to need a high quality shoe.
3)Don't break your budget. Don't be afraid to buy the cheaper shoe. You don't really need skate shoes if you aren't going to be skating that often. The main reason that you are wearing skate shoes is because you don't want to wear out your old shoes.

Tips
*Trim your laces if they are too long. They can get tangled in your trucks and you don't want that.
*Some shoes have a removable sole, which lets you take out the sole and put your laces under it. You should do this if your shoe has this feature.
*If you're comfortable wearing your own shoes, that's fine, but skating will really wear them out.
