Many features of the Skate Shoes

With sneakers being used by athletes during training session and to compete in sporting events, these shoes started getting called "trainers". Later on to be known at retro trainers because of the period they became popular.



The designs and looks also vary depending on what age group a particular converse is catering to. The largest demographic of stackers are teenagers. They tend to prefer the Converse skating shoes with the midrise or high rise ankle protection. Community skateboarding parks are being built by cities all over the country; and youngsters are crowding to these parks in large numbers. As the sport gets even more popular, demand for stake shoes and trainers will only get higher. The retro trainers often undergo harshness from the skateboard's grip tape when worn by skaters. As a result, skaters are continually needing new shoes. Attention to the type of material used (suede, leather, plastic undercoating) and the strategic placement of these materials (exterior, toe cap) help increase the life of retro trainers.



Although many people who don't skate still choose to wear skate shoes as regular footwear, the skate shoe is designed in such a way to include specific features for use in skating. They were unofficially called sneakers because the rubber soles made the shoes quiet and stealthy.
