    poser? I don't want to buy some, and then get laughed at for not being hard by the 14 year old bad asses at the mall again.

    And any other good websites for shoes? I'm usually good with eastbay but i've been looking for about an hour and havent seen anything i've liked that much.

    If you haven't grown out of this by whatever age you are you may need to re-enroll in the junior high to learn how to deal with the bullies who have apparently permanently ruined your self image. Seriously who gives a fuck, they are comfortable just wear them.

    Pretty sure those are consider a loser purchase by 12-13. Although, to be honest, I would totally love to rock those.

    I dont see a problem, If you like the shoes why not wear them. Its like people that dont skate wearing Nike Skateboarding shoes.

    i disagree, you look like you have no style if you wear skate shoes, and girls don't like them, but they are comfortable

    I've worn Vans for maybe 10 years now, not a skater. If you like the shoes and they're comfortable, wear em. If you're worried about what some 14 year old says, well... you've got issues.

    The bottom line here is the vast majority of skateboarding shoes are very comfortable and they will last a loooooooooong time if you don't skateboard. Most of them are triple stitched and have features that prolong the life of the shoe because skateboarders tear up shoes. Very good value. I have some pairs that I've had for 3-4 years. As long as you keep em clean they'll last 2-3 times longer than a normal shoe.

    Skate shoes are more comfortable than any other shoes. Yes.
