best shoes for breakless

Here is tip for riding without brakes, do not drag your feet or jam it in the tire. Gently stomp your feet before you must come to a complete stop or when you do need to come to a complete stop, just insert your foot into the rear tire to completely make it stop. This will not mess your shoes up as much overtime. In addition, riding through grass helps. I do all of these things and my bottom's still look brand new on my Lotek Hoder signature shoes.

Here's a tip for riding brakeless, don't drag your feet or drag it in the tire. Lightly stomp your feet before you need to come to a complete stop or when you do need to come to a complete stop, just jam your foot in the back tire to completely stop it. won't mess your shoes up as bad overtime. also riding through grass helps, I do all of these things & my bottom's still look brand new on my Lotek Reeves sigs

Step one: Brakeless*
Step two: Be easy on the sliding of feet. Put your foot in your front tire. I do it and I get two years out of my shoes.
Step three: Many*
Step four: Buy Vans, Lotek, Etnies, or Nike shoes. All good brands and all support bmx in one way pr another.

Walk yourself to slow down or just stomp a few times real good. The grass works real good but I tend not to do it cause of OCD and stuff..

if you are worried about your shoes getting scuffed, dont go brakeless

I dont care if they get scuffed I want ones that will last longer so if your not going to help please find some where else to troll

I like my etnies brake 2.0 cinema. But if you want to ride brakless you could also learn how to do mini drifts without brakes.

The BEST way to quickly come to a stop when riding brakeless is to shift your body just past the rear of your seat and sti down hard on your tire. You will come to a stop so fast, it will surprise you!

Osiris's! I have a cheap pair off dans that i got for like 20 bucks and i drag my feet and have for the past 6 months and you cant see any damage on the bottom!

i just always ride barefoot

Well if you need to stop immediately like um put one foot down and put al your weight on it and skid your bike 90 degrees and youll stop pretty quick. Idk if that makes sense but thats what i do and it works

I mean what.

If you're brakeless then brake less if you want your shoes to break less.

I have the Etnies brake shoe, so far so good.

BUT the best advice I have is don't drag your feet, or if you do, slide them LEVEL on the ground, not just toes or heels. This way it even wears them down.

And keep your feet out of the tires unless you are doing a footjam.

I'm looking into getting some new riding shoes because I have destroyed my current vans. I'm trying to go with something different and thought about converse. Are they good for riding bmx and do they last?

This is an old thread, BUT it does still have validity since no kids ever run brakes, so we can let it slide.

I run some Vans now, but I have brakes.

I had good luck with Adio-no longer around sadly.
Osiris were good
Nike were good
Etnies were good too.

Brakeless is rough on shoes and or tires. No idea about converse.

Converse aren't made for riding/skating in. So they'll probably be rubbish. Etnies jameson 2 eco are where it's at. My last pair lasted a year, then I got some marana's and the sole started to wear really quickly. Now I've got another pair of jameson 2 eco, and the sole hasn't worn at all

Yeah I just got etnies Jameson's and they seem solid and the stick to the pedals great.

Vans here, have had them before i had the BMX though, bought them but didn't really like them as an everyday shoe for walking around in, so they got left in the cupboard, but i do like them for riding in.

dont go with nike sb check solars ive had the whole sole seperate from the shoe just from pinching cranks
