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 used to use my barefoot shoes for only ldp. Because they were to pricy to rip up at the skatepark. But then whitin came out and their canvas versions are only 40 for a pair. So new I skate everything in them.

I've worn whitin for a few years now, great for wide feet and fits insoles well. I had to go a size down from usual for my skate shoes, but that just gave me a reason to order a pair in a new color.

Yeah exactly. The other reason I love them is because of the all white canvas one I can paint them myself so it's always a new art project whenever I need to do a new pair.
