I love Geoff Rowley skate shoes. Here's the ones I'm wearing (but they're the olive green ones, which apparently are no longer available):

i liked the old vans and airwalks from the mid nineties... just, plain. no fancy stitching or shoelaces.

me too. i like to think of the ones i've got as sort of plain, if you consider what all the other ones look like.

i feel like i'm stalking you.

that's okay. i like the attention.
i've got those um. what are they? they've got a big E on them. i don't even know the brand. i like them. but my least favorite part is the E.

I'm thinking those might be Etnies? Also very good and nice looking shoes.

those are the ones! yeah. quality shoes. i wonder what would happen if i tried washing them...

Vans are probably the worst skate shoes ever! Specially the new ones. They look cool, but are totally not practical for skating. I got a pair of the new XL2’s (they’re vegan) and wore ollie holes in them in a matter of 4 hours! Man I was mad, they cost me like $50!

Anyone know of any practical(as in skate worthy!) vegan shoes? The only thing holding my shoes together at the moment is a lot of tape!

i'm not a skater but... they tell me that these etnies i have are designed for ollies. that's what the massive horizontal Es are for on the sides.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. I am not a skater either, but my vans have lasted through everything else. I wear them when I go mini-hiking.
