That's crazy talk. I've never been to a skateboard shop that didn't sell shoes. Even the tiny stores no bigger then a closet sell shoes. |

well, im no bigger than a closet well- about 400 square feet
but I decided to be hard core skate shop only to start
nothing but actual skate essentials
i mean you dont need emericas to skate well wal mart shoes work just as well
If i expand thisd summer, which I would like to do, I will be selling shoes as well- in the mean time- t shirts and hoody's are about my extent and those are mostly special order
especially since i got broken into and they cleaned me out- its hard to restock when it is out of pocket(no insurance) |

hey woody...i think you should start selling shoes...they are an excellent way to make some money...also i couldn't see myself skating in anything but skate specific shoes...i support the skateboarders in buying skate shoes, and that is also what the skater wants to see when they go into a skateshop....you can be hardsore and just sell vans...but you are cuting yourself short i think in not carrying any shoes....just my opinion..it's not like you are selling stupid roller blades...good luck on the expansion!!!!!!
