where to buy cheap skate shoes?

[dj4mula]

If your willing to drive down to Auburn, which is about 1hr 45min South East of Seattle there are a few skate apparial outlet stores. I bought a pair of white etnies and a pair of puma-style shoes for $60C. There is also a DKNY, Bananna Republic & Gap outlet store at the Auburn mall.

in my experience
osiris=cheap shit
fell apart in like 4 or 5 months... the bottom half of the shoe fell right off.

right now ive got a pair of DC's that ive had for about the same amt of time and are still in great shape

besides the rainy/MUDDY warped tour they went thru
had to soak em for a couple days though

I've owned DC and Etnies and emerica and Osiris and....vans...Duffs.....Globes.....Circa .....

I believe it is totally circumstance.
Now if you skate...Nothing last forever.

i will swear by my circa's.
i love them.

i've gone through...circa, osiris, etnies...blah blah blah...
i still love all my circa-s and i'm looking to TRY dc-s but.....i've heard mixed reviews....emericas? dvs? hmmmm...what to do what to do.

but it looks like a trip down into tha u s of a is in order.

are u skatin em?
cus it depends alot on that , if u dont skate em i recomend adidas mids with the velcro stapp , i have boughten 3 pairs just cause i lovem so much.
but dc's are good shoes i know
just look for a good stitched shoe ...not all glue and shitt
i 0 paths are good shoes to kik it in but they dont skate too well
so it all depends on what ur doing

I have Emerica's right now and they always last long. DC, Circa and Etnies have always been good to me. I realized it's not ALWAYS the brand it can be the style of the shoe and how it's put together.

best shoes are Es, then in a close second would be DC.

almost everything else is crap and falls apart after a month or so.

if you actually skate, try the eric koston Es shoes. series 5 or 6 you should be able to find out now. they are the best shoes to skate in ever.

I love my Circa's, but my Gravis's are comfy too.

Your best bet is to buy during the back-to-school sales or wait until the 2003 styles go on clearance(My Circa's were 2001 style, and they were $80 down from $140 at Level). Had the Circa's for over a year now, and they are still great. My Gravis's haven't had much luck (some loose threads and such), but I'm the only person I know who's had any problems with them (and I know people who wear nothing but Gravis and have like, 6 pairs).

i've had my emerica's for 4 years and they are only now starting for leak ... 4 years of rough wear i'd say is pretty damm good.

but i've been alright with some etnies too ... but i love my emerica's .... just wish i could find a new pair i like ...
