I like how you guys try to get someone who is part of the culture to discuss different shoe types. A sneaker fan for sneakers, an actual skater for skate shoes… etc. people who understand what we actually want and what we pay for when we buy stuff. It’s nice. Keep it up!

[@TheHuskyK9]

I remember when they first arrived on the skate scene. Skaters didn't like the way how forced their marketing was. Just out of the blue, almost EVERY pro skater you see was wearing them, Battle of the Berrics was sponsored by them, etc. Too fast and too forced for a company that supposedly just started up at the time. From a business perspective, I respect the hustle. But from a skater perspective, definitely didn't feel like a genuine company that cared about skating. Felt like a corporate startup taking advantage of skaters

If a sneaker stands up to skating it will stand up to anything.

[@nicolaska1761]

I bought them to skate around a year ago : The first days these shoes feel absolutely perfect, the flick is great and the board feel is well balanced. With that said after only a couple of sessions the shoe starts to get way too soft and rips quite fast, in short they aren't worth your money

[@diplenski]

I prefer shoes to be stiff and substantial and require some breaking in. A shoe skating well out of the box is a red flag for exactly the reason you described

[@MichaelRossi__]

@@diplenski yeah it’s definitely all up to your preference. I also prefer boards that need a break in time rather than boards that break in straight away. They seem to razor tail real quick and snap on high impact.

[@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski]

here's the thing; in skateboarding shoes are disposable especially if you're hardcore grinding figuratively and literally. when i was approaching my zenith of skateboarding prowess i was wearing basically keds or whatever cheap shoe i could find because a $90 pair of shoes would fall apart as quick as a $40 pair. i would only wear expensive shoes around times when i was competing and periods when i was skating more casually. expensive skate shoes are great and i would always make sure to have on a legit pair during competitions because you can eek out just a little bit of extra performance from a good pair but when you're building your skills you just need alot of shoes, quality falls by the weyside. same goes for decks, i remember going through $250 in decks in a few hours one afternoon because of this one grass gap and because the 7/8 hardware i was using had a thicker head than legit hardware and it was cracking the top and bottom plys. that convinced me to use blanks for awhile.

[@spht9ng]

Nowadays there are very well built skate shoes at least from New Balance. The 1010 and the 808 are basically tanks. Can skate them hardcore for several months before retiring them.

[@walmorcarvalho2512]

Another hint that these are marketing scams: The founders are already high-tier fashion execs in Brazil, they aggressively position Cariuma as a Brazillian brand but not only they were never made here, they were never meant to be sold here. At first they were only sold at a few high-level online fashion storefronts and only now they are getting into some skateshops for the low, low price of around US$120. Just for comparison a Vans Chukka Low on the Vans official website goes for around US$90 and a higher-tier local brand sells for around US$ 70-80

[@diplenski]

i have a vans outlet fairly close to me, i got some '92 skate halfcabs and wayvees, buy one get one, for $60 total

[@krandlez]

would love to know more about the local brazilian skate brands. Coming from a nation that has gone away from domestic manufacturing, its rare to see any brands that aren't big name established like Nike, Adidas, NB etc

[@walmorcarvalho2512]

@@krandlez The Brazillian skateboarding market is an oddity. On paper we are self-sufficient: we have local brands of skate decks, trucks, wheels, hardware... But, on practice, their quality is clearly subpar with low-grade materials and construction and - at best - uninspired and outdated designs - with a positive exception around 2007-2014. This wasn't exactly a problem because the prices were low enough that these brands were a nice starting point for new skaters, but after 2015 everything became so expensive to the same building quality that it's just not worth it. A lot of skaters just save up to get imported gear instead of buying local brands. And most of this goes the same for skate shoes. Usually they are OK, if not for some gaudy, derivative and way too 90s inspired designs, but the price just isn't competitive anymore for what you get.

[@fabioayrosa]

And the brand owners never rode a skateboard, playboys from rio who worked for years on fast fashion brands... trying to get a piece of the skateboarding market... its so lame

[@lunasdadskates]

I skate and everyone I know absolutely hates these shoes. From the wack logo, to the ugly shoes and the way they bought their way into the skate space, this company is cheeks.

[@multitablez7825]

I''d been away from skating for a decade or so, came back like several years ago and saw that Nike, NB, and adidas had skating shoes and they were popular. WTF. I couldn't believe it. Back in the 90s early 2000s no skater would ever support companies like that. never ever. They are mainstream shoes. And still now, i wont wear those shoes. Now, i bought some old school DVS thick shoes for skating, and they last so much longer and better than the thin style we see today.

[@ayeyuh6920]

@@multitablez7825 They got a ton of pushback when they started to come onto scene too. The difference is that they actually make good shoes and they look good. Can't say the same about Cariuma. I think another reason they were more accepted is because they weren't nearly as aggressive in their marketing and their name alone put new eyes onto skateboarding.

[@igomk]

@@multitablez7825 Steve, is this you?

[@spht9ng]

@@multitablez7825 Lmao the team manager who put together Cariuma's squad is now directing the DVS team. It's gonna be a re run of Cariuma's branding strategy all over again. Their first 2 new skaters are Levi Loeffelberger and Tyler Peterson who are heavily associated with The Berrics and have very little street footage out there. Man say what you want about big corporations but Nike SB and Adidas are absolutely killing it not just making good shoes but actually CONTRIBUTING to skateboarding culture and media by creating quality skate videos that skaters actually want to watch. From Nike you have Yuto Horigome's Tokyo video, 7 Ball and Quickstrike. Adidas with Miles Silvas City to City part, Nikolai Piombo's XP video, and Heitor Da Silva's HEJTOR video. Name a single Cariuma sponsored skate video that you would ever want to watch more than once. They are all the most bland uninspiring boring skate videos ever. I'm sure DVS will not do any better in the current day being led by Tyler Peterson and Steve Berra.

I skate NikeSB & love them. I find a lot of the mainstream skate shoes fall apart so quickly compared to SBs. Also I have bought skate shoes where the sizings were all wrong. I bought a 13 and it felt more like a 12 or even the opposite has happened to me. I couldn’t return them because I live overseas and it costs me money to have them shipped back. SBs are consistent and last as long as I need them.

[@diplenski]

I don’t really care if a brand is small or skater owned. I just want a good product for the money. I tend to skate etnies/soletech bc I’ve been skating them for 30 years and never had a bad pair. I also like vans and dc, but dc isn’t what they used to be. As far as corporate skate shoes I would have no problem skating adidas, new balance, or asics.

The Cariuma OCA Lows were the first (and only) sneaker i ever made the mistake of buying due to hype and marketing, and I was unbelievably let down. I was working in an office at the time; and both counter covers, both outer logo appliques, and both outsoles all started falling apart within a month of me working in a job where I just sat on my ass all day. Still pretty annoyed at how much of a waste they wound up being.

That's crazy, I heavily skated two pairs of Catiba Pros for 3 months each before anything started to fall apart. Their casual shoes must be built horribly in comparison.

Not selling them in local skate shops is probably a big reason. You really have to go to a Zumiez just to buy them locally. You can't even buy them online unless from Zumiez or their own website (where shipping is expensive and there's no deals). No one cares about these shoes enough to deal with the exclusivity crap.

It'd be interesting to see a comparison between the Asics Japan Pro and Japan S. I know a guy who's pro for Asics and he was telling me that most the time he just gets the Japan S because he prefers the way they skate. It would be interesting so see if they're the same inside.

[@fallenshallrise]

Footwear in general can be really shoddily made so it's always a risk buying any shoe online without trying it. I was buying some Vans slip-ons and there was a coin shaped object glued in under the insole, could have been a piece of cardboard or maybe it was an actual coin, who knows. They just left some junk in the shoe and glued right over it. And that foxing material can really be hit and miss. Seems like Vans with white foxing just melt in days but the gum color foxing seems to last a lot longer.

[@hayata1191]

I own 2 pairs of cariamas, one's the vegan Vallely model, and the other is the Naioca canvas ones. i really like those. As everyday shoes, they're comfier and better built than vans in my opinion. Probably in terms of skating, maybe NB or Nike, might be better, I'm not sure as I've never own those. In terms of what they stand for however, I don't see them differ as much from Adidas, Nike, New Balance, etc. Maybe the only difference is that they have actual skaters and people from the community running the teams which is great. But, that could also be seen as a marketing strategy to put together the right team, to get a good name out in the community, etc. And in the end, it really just funds the corporations. That being said, if any of these companies pay the riders properly and treats them well, I guess it's the only thing that matters. Thanks also for the list of skater owned brands. Will check them out. They always come first.
