Size/Side of Braking Shoe Info
Cobblers needed
On 3/1/2015 PSR wrote in from United States  (65.96.nnn.nnn)

Yeah, Richy, but, I'm a Goofy-footer, but I push Mongo, and footbrake that way, too. I wear out shoes, um, oddly, at best.

Shoe repair was my only way to avoid either a Singaporan shoe closet or hamburger foot. Ever use motorcycle tires for streetluge brakes?

One footed braking
On 2/9/2015 PSR wrote in from United States  (65.96.nnn.nnn)

Posts like this make you wish Cobblers were still about! The last 'shoe repair' spot in my neck of the woods died of Chinese Disease in 1998, where-upon the Republicans dictated that the lower/middle classes were invalid and no longer a political force or tax-base worthy of representing in government. Damn, should've put in for dual citizenship with both China and US about 30 years ago, but Kissinger smooth-talked me out of it!

Men's size 12 Nike P-Rods and Lakais
On 2/8/2015 Tom R wrote in from United States  (73.189.nnn.nnn)

If anyone is still around, I have a pair of Nike Paul Rodriguezes (black, size 12) with slightly blown out heels and toes. The right shoe is giving up the ghost, and I'd be willing to trade the left shoe for someone's slightly/heavily abused right one (provided it has a few weeks' life left in it). The tops are still intact, and even look presentable.

Same exact deal with a pair of size 12 black Lakais (I do not know what model, but they are absolutely bulletproof and have lasted over a year of hard skating with little wear besides the balls of the feet), except the wear is concentrated in the balls of the feet and they probably have a month or two of life left in them (I'm shoegooing them though, so soon they'll be good for a while.

I'm looking for any shoe even close to the same size (my feet go from 11 in Adidas all the way to 13.5 in DC), whether it's the same model or not. So, anyone looking for a bigfoot shoe buddy?

used skate shoes
On 7/3/2009 Mike Blair wrote in from United States  (65.55.nnn.nnn)

I have many pairs of used skate shoes, sizes ranging fron 11-13. Used, but most are in great condition. All brands, does anyone want to trade? I love to collect and wear these kicks, and I keep them in perfect used condition. My twelve year old son wears a 10-11 also, let me know, thanks.

Carrot Shoes
On 12/7/2008 Spencer wrote in from United States  (24.180.nnn.nnn)

Hey Jeff,

I believe I had a pair of those black shoes with the carrots back in the day. I think that Airwalk manufactured them and I havn't seen a pair around in ages. I have noticed that all of the old school airwalks are disapearing even from ebay now. good luck. They were great.

Old School Skate Shoes
On 11/3/2008 Jeff wrote in from United States  (69.21.nnn.nnn)

I'm looking for the brand of shoe from roughly 1995 - 1997. They were low top black skate shoes with carrots sewn on the tongue. Great shoe, just wondering what brand they were and if the company still makes this style of shoe?

Hey do not hurt your right shoe. Be good to the right shoe. You can hurt the left shoe all you want. I will pay big money for used worn out skate shoes. Please call me at 2314211247 or email me at laterdelater@yahoo.com. I will pay top dollar no matter how bad of shape they are in. The worst shape the better.
