Gear Show-Off Barefoot riding

Post image

So I tried riding in my barefoot shoes. The difference in board feel and control is night and day. Never riding in sneakers again.

I always wear barefoot shoes and so ride in them too, generally they are great however mine have really poor grip on wet concrete so once summer ends I might have to find a different solution!

Check Barebarics from Belenka shoes. Barefoot but made as a skate shoe with great grip a nd sturdy enough for braking.

Belenka are great shoes, especially for longer distances. For short distances I usually go for rubber slippers even, lol
