Skateboarding Foot Protection is a Must
Years ago, when skateboarding first took off, people said that it wouldn't last. A craze that simply would not last. How wrong they were.
Today there are many millions of skateboarders worldwide. There can't be many towns that don't have some sort of skate-park, and if they don't have one then skateboarders will have built one for themselves.
Skateboaring experts can make it look so easy and graceful, which can be misleading. Skateboarding takes a whole lot of skill and can be immensely dangerous. Skateboarding injuries have risen as the sport has grown in popularity. Statistics show that some of the most common skateboard injuries are fractures to the ankle and wrist. Over a third of all injuries occur as a result of loss of balance and around 26% occur as a result of a failed trick attempt. The highest proportion of moderate injuries occur as a result of surface irregularities.
Statistics like these should serve to encourage skaters, and those just getting into the sport that safety must always come first. Skateboarders should skate only in skate parks to avoide hazardous uneven surfaces and they should always wear protective clothing. Knee and elbow pads, along with a good helmet will go a long way towards keeping a skater safe. But footwear is of utmost importance.
Some foolish people think that any old pair of trainers will do for skateboarding, but this is far from true. Skateboarding footwear is subjected to some of the most severe wear and tear that any shoes are ever likely to get. They need to be exceptionally comfortable, enormously flexible and very grippy. They also need to offer protection for the ankle and support the instep.
Clearly, skateboarding shoes need to be immensely robust. They are subjected to lots of scuffing and abrasion and cheap, flimsy shoes will quickly come apart. Many skaters use a produce called shoe goo, available from many good skate shops, to apply to worn areas of their shoes in order to give them a little extra life.
One of the most important features of skateboarding shoes is the sole. These tend to be made with extremely strong material and are very broad and flat, providing maximum grip with the skateboard.
If you go shopping for skateboard shoes you will find an almost bewildering selection. One of the favoured brands is Vans shoes. They've been around since the early days so they have the knowledge necessary to make some truly fantastic shoes.
Another reliable brand is DC Shoes from the USA. They are another firm who has been making top quality skateboard shoes for many years and this is reflected in the quality of their excellent shoes.
And of course we must mention Nike shoes. The Nike air trainers are favourites with many of the world's top board jockeys.
Skateboarding is a great sport but skaters need to take precautions in order to keep themselves, and those around them, safe. Some good protective clothing and some robust, comfortable skate shoes will help to keep them safe.
