    Definitely try Schuh, they are the most amazing shop on the street for shoes. They do have an online sotre too but I don;t know the address. I have a pair of Gallaz shoes, not for skateboarding mind, I'm 20 can you really see me starting that now:p :lol: Haz has just started learning again though, so he is looking out for a pair of ones cheep, which is pretty much impossible for skate shoes!

    I personally like http://www.exit.uk.com

    Nice site layout bought a few pairs from them and they've always been happy to help and good with returns as well (wrong size, colour etc)

    My first and maybe only post :eeek:

    Slamcity is by far the best for range, but try peakperformance if you want cheap shoes. I've found Vans, Emerica, Etnies and eS are the best brands to buy.

    You got two the same size now?

    :p

    I find a lot of skate shoes to be very uncomfortable for long periods of time: Acupunctures all the way for comfort.

    Agreed I swear by my Acupunctures (no pun intended) :D I also loved my Airwalks.

    Airwalks for pure comfort but Acupunctures for comfort and lastability.
