The Best Skate Shoes To help you find the best skate shoes , we researched dozens of different models on the market and bought and tested 7... Even though the Sleuth has street shoe style, our test riders felt way more confident on and off the bike in these kicks than in a regular skate shoe.

Lead tester Jackson Chen has gone through more socks than he can remember, thanks to constantly ripping holes through his skate shoes . Because of that, he has experimented with tons of sock brands, whether it's for skateboarding, tackling a rocky approach to a climbing crag, or just getting him to and from home, work, the gym, and life in between. We tested 7 pairs of skate shoes from Adidas, Emerica, DC, and more to find out which pairs are good for different styles of skating.
