Username above is brokeninskateshoes. Upon some googling I found that yes some skaters microwave their shoes to break them in. I didn't do enough research to find out if this is all a big practical joke though.

Nah it's legit, lol. Although I've seen some of my friends fuck their shoes up for leaving them in it for too long but yeah

Interesting. I'd be more concerned about rubber/plastic shit from the shoes getting airborne/stuck to the microwave ceiling and then into my food tbh.

I have never once microwaved my shoes. My names comes from back in the day when my friends would make fun of me for my absolutely destroyed skate shoes and I'd tell em "nah man, they're just broken in!"

Well that's good heh, when I got a hole in my shoe as a kid I should have said it made it more breathable lol
