This is for anyone that is skateboarding or wants to start. One of the main problems in skateboarding is shoes, specifically shoes ripping too easily. Some skaters just put some duct tape but it usually just falls of or rips even easier than the shoe. Most skaters know about this but to those who don't and always have ripped shoes buy shoe goo.
You can buy shoe goo in any local skate shop and usually costs about $6-$10 or if there's no shoe goo in your local shop you can order it off amazon or eBay. Shoe goo is basically a see-through (or sometimes black) adhesive you put on your shoe where there is a hole leave it to dry and you will have a rubbery material that is very durable and will last longer than the shoe itself. Personally i love using shoe goo since its saves me lots of money, before I used shoe goo shoes would last about 1-2 months but with shoe goo they last 3-5 months. I hope this will help you in skateboarding or even with normal shoes that rip. Just in case you don't know how to apply shoe goo here is a video. (the video is not made by me)
