{Well} that is the golden {^hk1^}. Technically, no, you {do not} {need} skate shoes. You could {put on} any shoes. But the point is, skate shoes are {made} to {assist} you skate {much better}. And {it is} {true} – they do {assist}. Skate shoes have flat, grippy, and {^hk11^} {two}^} wide soles to {assist} you hold onto your board {much better}. Some skate shoes have {two}^} padding on the sides and the tongue to {assist} {^hk17^} your foot when {^hk18^} technical tricks. On the other hand, {^hk19^} of the old school skaters {prefer} the thin classic style skateboarding shoes which {do nothk40^^} you to {really feel} the board {while} {^hk18^} tricks. A lot of skate shoes now have reinforced side panels to {assist} protec your shoes {while} {^hk18^} ollies, or have {two}^} padding {about} the heel collar to {assist} hold onto your foot. There is a lot of {needhk40^^} going into the skate shoe of {today} {since} they are rather {costly} and the {businesses} want to {develop} them to {} longer.

Etnies has been {creating} skateboard shoes for a {long} time and they are {1} of the most {well-liked} brands out their on the {market} {today}.

Is it {truly} that {complicated}? {Well} yes it is. STI has {carried out} {extensive} {needhk40^^} into what it {takes} to make a skateboarding shoe {}. Introduced just a {couple of} years ago, {Method} G2™ was the {first} {technologies} ever {created} by STI. {Today}, it is recognized as {merely} {being} the {best} shock-absorbing device for action sports shoes and snowboard boots. Inserted into the heel and combined with EVA or PU, {Method} G2™ {provides} dual-cushioning comfort and protection that {helps} absorb a wide range of impacts–from the {extremely} soft to the most extreme–that riders {put} on their feet, to {assist} {reduce} injuries and {stop} heel bruises. The {result} is the ultimate skateboarding cushioning {technologies} that absorbs up to 75% {^hk19^} force than conventional skate shoes and snowboard boots. {It is} no wonder then that {Method} G2™ is {found} in {nearly} {each} pro model endorsed shoe Sole {Technologies} manufactures.
