I got a pair of these quite a while back (like 2003 or thereabouts), but never ground on anything with them. Even if you simply used them for walking or hiking, the older ones were very, very tough shoes. Most of the sneakers I had tried before Soap Shoes fell apart within a year or so. The early Soap Shoes were extremely well-built and could last for years. My new go-to shoes are a pair of New Balance running shoes and a couple pairs of Red Wing boots. The latter are nigh-indestructible.
these shoes are so awesome!! but im so PISSED that they dont make em' or sell em' in the U.S. anymore:P I remember these so well:) i dont have any, but if they still had em' in the U.S., i would SO buy them!!
i like the idea of grind with a shoes, is something that i now know that it exist and alwais i dream it, but i think only grind is not so much, maiby this sport need to be mix with a bit of parkour, or inventing something new...
Looking at the landings, I'd have to conclude that Soap Shoes are much harsher on the ankles than inline skates.
First off, there's no support to prevent rolling the ankles.
And second, when you land you (obviously) stop dead on the spot rather than rolling away.
I really don't see the point of Soap Shoes. If you're on roller blades then fair enough, but if you're going around in essentially trainers, you might as well just do away with the soap and take up free-running.
Well, I'd agree if it was in fact the case that people wear them as normal shoes (where Blades would not be appropriate), and then have the option of some fun.
IF on the other hand, they purposely choose to wear these instead of blades, with the intention of going out 'soaping' (or whatever the correct vernacular is), that is a different matter.
You have to be the biggest twat i have even seen. Seriously you must of been bullied at school and cant do and physical things apart from being a twat with your shitty little shoes that are shit.
these are so much fun i got a pair for my b-day, and if you think they are gay, you weren't forced to watched this video so don't watch it if you don't like it. THESE ROCK!!!
uh... thats it. sorry bro but that was weak. you dont spin onto grinds? switch ups? anything remotely difficult? 270 bacside farv would have been kinda cool, but just jumping on rails to frontside isnt very hard. anyone could put on some soaps for the first time ever and in like 20 minutes they could f/s a hand rail. lame. get some rollerblades and some style and then go from there.
dude im gettin my heelys rail there being shipped to my house i kinda like heelys rail better only because u can roll and grind but soaps are the shit i love soaps dude soaps are awesome
These guys are such pussies. I can just see them, sneeking up the side of the road at a low speed in thier moms minivan, making sure their aren's any real athletes skating the place. If they see anyone, they just keep driving or hit the gas or something, cause they know what they are doing is a joke of a sport or even for a hobby.
I skateboard and inline. Having soaps around would pretty tight here and there. I met a dude with soaps who skates and he did some really nasty stuff that looked like aggressive inline. But since soaps can be worn just about anywhere, it's pretty tight that he can do that shit anywhere.
How was that creative? All you did was say I wasn't creative. Well bravo on your ability to be some cheap ass critic and your inability to be creative. I bet your moms hot though. I'd hit it...
If he gets a sponsorship let me know and I'll send in a tape of my own HAHAHAHAHHAHAhAH wow. Seriously though I tried like twice, did rails like this (check my vid) and so did my mate who didnt even skate. We both came to the conclusion that we sucked so... I think you get my point.
WHAT!?! Do you understand what you are doing?!?! The slippery compound on the bottom of the shoe is derived from the testicles of innocent baby seals. These cruel money grubbing monoloplizers tearing at the very fabric of nature!?! You think that I am kidding but the truth is that the monosaturides of the vericose artery can be condensed and insconced into a very dense solid that when heated (the friction that occurs when grinding) a supersaturated amorphous solution is secreted to lubricate.
how are you going to jump the great wall of china in those? even on a skateboard its extremly hard. and only certain ppl have ever done it. theres no way he could run and jump over it.
please tell me you are joking. do you honestly think i meant that. they are sneakers with plastic on the bottom, i obviously know you can't jump the fricken great wall of china. and i'm pretty sure danny way is the only person to jump it.
really, because i was actually under the impression that a kid with soap shoes was able to jump 20 feet across the wall. thank you so much! p.s. that was all sarcasm.
i searched soap shoes hoping to find some kids doing crazy shit but to my dismay all i found was this shit. thank god they dont make those fucking things anymore
there are soul plates which allow you to do different kinds of tricks other than a frontside or a backside. theres fakie tricks, theres a/o tricks, truespin tricks. any idiot can jump on a rail with a pair of shoes on, do it wehile moving and then land after your done. rolling takes more balance, of course more talent. you cant do ramps with soaps. should i continue?
yeah you can run up them. and fruit booting is simple everything is on your feet it takes no ball's to do something because it's so hard to bail its downright GAY
