Hey would running shoes work like any type of running shoes? Cause I highly doubt that my parents r gonna buy me another pair of shoes so plz respond saying yes they're good no they're bad

@sohan1251 - Running shoes will work, but skate shoes are a lot better. Running shoes tend to have a lot of ridges on the bottom and that means less rubber is contacting the skateboard griptape. Skate shoes have much flatter, smoother bottoms, so the griptape holds better. If your parents won't buy you new shoes, just use the running shoes for now. They will still work. You can just get skate shoes later.

the vans sk8 is a great shoe but it gets holes super fast because it's super thin

gloves protect your hands and not your wrists. Wrist guards protect both your hands and wrists. Also there are other safty gear skateboarders wear like Shin pads usually used for soccer but very useful for skateboarding and jock to protect your groin from skateboard and rails.
