Skate shoes are a crucial part of every skater’s gear, as the right shoes affect performance, comfort and durability. Shreddington Snow, a well-known snowboarding store in Helsinki, has now expanded into the world of skateboarding, clothing and shoes. The new store, which opened on Kalevankatu, offers a wide range of skate and casual shoes, including New Balance, Vans, éS, Etnies, Adidas and many other top brands.
Why aren't skate shoes just any shoes?
Skate shoes are designed to withstand heavy use and repeated impacts. The rigors of skateboarding require special durability from shoes, such as reinforced seams, grippy rubber soles and cushioned insoles that protect the foot from impacts and increase the comfort of the shoe. Regular sneakers wear out quickly under the hard use of skateboarding, but skate shoes are made specifically for this purpose - and they often last much longer.
Shreddington Snow – The New Focus for Skate and Casual Shoes
Shreddington Snow offers a high-quality and diverse selection of skate shoes and casual sneakers to fans of their store on Kalevankatu. Their collection includes classic skate shoes and the latest arrivals:
- Vans : Known for durable and comfortable models with a sturdy sole and timeless design – a perennial favorite among skaters.
- éS and Etnies : Brands that are particularly popular among enthusiasts of the sport. These shoes offer excellent grip and cushioned soles that absorb shock.
- New Balance and Adidas : Shoes from these brands combine the durability of skateboarding with urban street style, making them perfect for everyday wear.
Three Tips for Choosing Skate Shoes
- Pay attention to the sole : A good skate shoe offers a grippy rubber sole that gives you the right grip on the board. Vulcanized soles in particular are a popular choice among skaters.
- Choose the right size and fit : Skate shoes should fit snugly but comfortably so that your foot gets enough support and doesn't move around in the shoe.
- Choose a durable model : Reinforced seams, toe caps, and high-quality materials will extend the life of your shoes. The durability of skate shoes varies between brands, so choose a model that suits your use and style.
