I haven't made a post for a while so I thought I'd voice my opinion on Shoe Goo, a product that fixes torn or worn skate shoes. Sure the prospect sounds good on paper but at the end of the day its durability vs a nice shoe, would you rather have a nice pair of shoes or have a pair that last forever but feel like complete crap on your feet? This is the problem with Shoe Goo, it feels nasty and gives you no grip whatsoever. I went to London this sunday just gone with my two week old pair of Vans covered in shoe goo, I regretted it, they looked trampy (not that this is really a problem, I mean at the end of the day they're skate shoes), the real problem came when trying to pull off tricks. They didn't feel or look as nice. At the end of the day I wouldn't recommend using Shoe Goo, I've now since gone back to my old Nike Mavrks as my Vans are pretty much unskateable now.
Sunday wasn't necessarily all bad though. We went to the new shoreditch box mall, all sorts of stuff to be found there; a DC shop, a Vans shop, a Routeone store and a Volcom store being the highlights. Good stuff to be found, go there.
Afterwards we went to London Bridge skatepark, an undercover park filled with piss, shit and dead pigeons. Bit of a love hate relationship really, it's a pretty good park despite all that crap. Finally learnt nose slides there too, definitely looking forward to doing some when our new park comes. Its only what, 8 weeks now until it's finished? hshhghghhregfhvvvhbchekeryr
