Skate shoes at Skatestore
It all started in the 1970s: Pool skaters in California discovered that the Vans boat shoe with waffle sole worked perfectly on their boards. Shortly afterwards, the very first skate shoe, the Vans Era, was created. Since then, skate shoes have continued to evolve. Skaters also used other sports shoes, such as the Nike Blazer, Nike Dunk, and adidas Superstar, all of which found a place in skate culture.What can you find at Skatestore?

Why choose skate shoes?
Skating demands a lot from your shoes. Regular sneakers wear out quickly, offer little grip or comfort, and are simply not designed to withstand impact and friction. Skate shoes are made with skateboarding in mind. They offer:
- Durable materials
- Extra reinforcement in areas prone to wear and tear
- Better cushioning and comfortable insoles
- Technology that really works, such as Nike Air and New Balance FuelCell
Which shoe suits your style?
That depends entirely on what you are looking for in a skate shoe.
Vulcanized shoes, such as the Nike SB Blazer or Vans Old Skool, are thinner and offer a lot of board feel. These are popular with technical skaters and people who skate a lot on curbs or in transitions.
Cupsole shoes, such as the Nike SB Dunk or New Balance 480, provide more cushioning and stability. Ideal for bigger gaps, hard landings, or if you just want a little more comfort during your session.
Technology for your feet
Brands such as New Balance bring their ergonomic knowledge to the skate world, with smart cushioning and support. Nike SB even adds Air Max technology in models such as the Ishod 2, for maximum comfort during every session.
Whatever your style or preference, at Skatestore you will always find a pair that suits you. Check out our collection and discover your next favorite skate shoe.
