my left foot
On 10/5/2004 robertjamesmckendryIII wrote in from United States  (24.9.nnn.nnn)

for years I've been throwing away my new right 10 to 10.5's. I just pulled a really good 10.5 Globe outta the trash. I might have more in the closet. So I could use a 10 buddy with decent shape lefts. Color no matter, I would prefer less odor but I'll melt them quick. surf Colorado

Small sizes
On 10/3/2004 Judi wrote in from United States  (68.126.nnn.nnn)

Greta,
I wear 6 1/2 - 7's. I have a few pairs of Black Enties Arto's and Oakley Sourdough's that are barely used. I'm not sure if you snowboard. But I have a pair of Burton snowboard boots I wore twice that I'll send you if you pay shipping. They are still in the box.

Thanks.

Help! Have tiny feet need shoes!
On 10/1/2004 Greta wrote in from United States  (135.214.nnn.nnn)

:)
Seriously though, I wear a boys 4 1/2 and a women's 6. Finding hi top skate shoes is proving difficult. I can special order Vision or Vans hi tops, and that seems to be it. Any other sources out there?

Manteca's Quality at under $50
On 9/17/2004 John Gilmour wrote in from United States  (207.172.nnn.nnn)

Aki 10 or 10.5 Right.
Tommy 10 Right.
Kludy 10 Right.
Lowrie 10 Right.

Any of the guys above want to go in on some DC mantecas? I'll buy 8 pairs and match the lot of you. You can have as many rights as you want. Kludy- I've seen you incinerate shoes.

I want at least two pairs in team USA colors Red White and Blue
http://www.skateshack.com/Shoes/MA665.html
I prefer the gun rubber shoes in either Black or blue suede- but I'll also use the Nubuck synthetics since water won't destroy them.

I've got some good hills (Arboretum, State house) to burn rubber on. I just can't always ride as much as I want to when I'm conserving shoes.

As soon as I get my new left ACL I'll be chewing through shoes.

I have a good shoe buddy, Alexander Scott- problem is , he can't afford shoes- he's been using my rights for years.

Don't care what kind
On 9/16/2004 Lowrie wrote in from United States  (65.161.nnn.nnn)

I don't give a crap what kind of shoe it is, I just need a good soled size 10 right. I'm not trying to look purty going down the hill, those of you that know me, know this. I've got some Cardiels, black, and rowley xl2 or t's something brown. Forgot the other, any way need rights! any color, any style, they'll be trash by the end of the day anyway.

8 left
On 9/13/2004 WesE wrote in from United States  (208.59.nnn.nnn)

We don't need stink and we don't need nonsense knockin the valid posts off the page.

Shoe trading works optimally if the two traders each buy two new pairs of the same shoe, then each trade one deck shoe for one burn shoe. Then they each have one new deck shoe and three new burn shoes.

A single transaction like this would be benefitial for at least three race-weekends.


Shoe traders and what they need:
Aki 10 or 10.5 Right.
Hamm 10 Left.
WesE 8 Left.
John Gilmour 10 Left.
Márcio of Brazil 10.5 Left.
Miko 9 Right.
HenryJ 12 Right.
Tommy 10 Right.
Steve Michaels 12 Right.
Stephan of Germany euro 46.5 Left.
Kludy 10 Right.
Eric Moore 13 Left.
Chaput 10 Left.
Slim 10 or 10.5 Left.
Lexx "Brittish size 9" Left.
Lowrie 10 Right.

On 9/13/2004 Lowrie wrote in from United States  (65.161.nnn.nnn)

I'm size 10,
brake with my right!
Got a couple of lefts, sittin purty in the closet...
Sittin long enough they probably don't even smell no more.

I like your new idea, I kill my rights everytime I try and slalom or downhill, It's just a crappy shoe to brake, not to pose for that crappy pic.

Labor, Lowrie

Toe Holes In Back Foot Shoe
On 9/12/2004 Mr.Bean wrote in from United States  (24.144.nnn.nnn)

I told a kid a few weeks ago about how skinny boards use to be in the 70s and that when you'd do a kickturn, 360, etc. the toe of the back foot usually skid/slid on the ground and that eventually your back shoe would have a hole worn into it from this occurrance. I'd eventually have to put a piece of leather in my shoe then wrap duct tape around the outside of the toe.

I guess I don't really have much to say to you folks about it, except...anybody remember those days?

the L E double X needs right shoes
On 9/10/2004 Lexx wrote in from United Kingdom  (81.77.nnn.nnn)

Looking for a british size 9 shoe buddy.
I'm riding an obscure set of duffs, but willing to ride with any other brand if I can swap the right shoe with anyone.
Obviously I live in the sunny Isles of Britain - so I guess thats another pre-requisite.
