$9.99 skator shoes from payless is what i slide with.


I did use lugs, but they are pretty big shoes anyway. hard to fit inbetween the footpeg and shifter. at least my kind. very annoying.

the best shoes i can think of to sketch in is heely's, the ones with the wheels, just take the wheels off. They are just like skater shoes but have a huge sole because it needs to fit the wheel, i've been sketching with those forever now and still has lasted me, but still need something better than nails to make sparks with

Re: Shoes or boots for skitching

i wear Icon riding boots. But a cheap way to save shoes if u got a pair of work boots with a meaty sole u can use a medium size door hinge from walmart. Screw one side in and let the other side fall into place. When not in use just pull the pin and u can still ride in them, they cost me like 88 cents or u can just go with a metal strap comes in like 6 foot cuts sparks and works great and you can set them u to drop, if things get hot!!!!!!!!!
