These skate shoes suit riders who spend their time rolling on a skateboard. When you step onto your deck, your footwear is the contact point between your feet and the grip tape. Whether you are practicing your push, cruising across flat ground, or working on ollies in the street, skate footwear helps you position your stance across the bolts.

To get the right fit, choose your usual shoe size so your feet stay in place while skating. A close fit helps prevent your heel from lifting inside the shoe when you set up for tricks or carve through the park and bowl. Check that your toes have enough room at the front without crowding, which keeps your balance steady on the board.

You can wear them whether you ride an assembled board or a complete setup with trucks and wheels. Lace them before dropping into ramps or taking lines at your local skate spot. Pairing your skate shoes with protective gear, such as a helmet, knee pads and wrist guards, keeps you covered as you learn new maneuvers and spend time practicing on your deck.
