Anything that has mesh will work to drain water pretty good. but no hi-tops yet.. _________________ Shallow Dive Design, 2nd Wind Sports, Airush, Trident Sports Gman Since 11 Feb 2006 4911 Posts Portland Unstrapped Tue Oct 21, 08 2:50 pm     I like these - the mesh dries quick - collect ssome sand but people pay good money to have their feet exfoliated http://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/products/NIK1067/Mens_Nike_Free_Trainer_7.0_Cross_Training_Shoe _________________ Go Deep! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2pBpQolKE pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Tue Oct 21, 08 2:52 pm     The deck actually has a layer of kinda soft foam in sort of an egg-crate shape.

Everytime I look at a deck like that, I think of how sweet that would feel on my bare feet, skippin' across the wah-wah. _________________ (>====<|>---< bamboo Since 24 Jun 2005 165 Posts da 'chung; taiwan Stoked Wed Oct 22, 08 7:02 am     Hein wrote: wish they made high tops to keep the sand out.

Hein Since 08 Mar 2005 1314 Posts Possessed Wed Oct 22, 08 7:55 am     Something like these Vans + able to stand up to water use and maybe a hidden neoprene collar to keep sand from coming in the top and a sealed tongue like on a snowboard boot. The sole should be flat on the outside but with good support on the inside. Like a skateboard shoe. I don't really mind sand in my shoes but if it can be kept out then I might be able to ride better and with a little more confidence. especially where it is shallow.

Hey Hein check em :http://www.evogear.com/wakeskate-shoes/nike-60-air-mogan-mesh-shoe-2008.aspx Nike's listening as far as high tops go, check out the 6.0 website to see if they have anything you like. http://www.nike.com/nke6/v5/?undefined#/brand/product/footwear/ I wear the Nike FC shoe, it works. I've also gone barefoot, it's fine as long as you dont hit any sliders. _________________ BIP- "YOUR GIRLFRIENDS FAVORITE" eli_anderson Since 04 Jun 2007 507 Posts Addicted Thu Oct 23, 08 2:35 pm     you need these http://www.shawkboardgear.com/product_view.php?id=4&product_name=WAKE_WALKER_BINDING/WAKESKATE_SHOES seaside oregon family invented them pdxmonkeyboy Since 16 May 2006 6081 Posts forever labled as the retired kiter & motorhead Unicorn Master Thu Oct 23, 08 2:52 pm     Cool idea for sure but the velcro pad for your board is $175!!You have to be Shawking me!! _________________ Bury me standing cause I won't lay down!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVvAw2VFR4Y&feature=PlayList&p=FB7233C37686AC79&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=34        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1, 2  Next Page 1 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
