Durability:

Synthetics

There are three main reasons for using synthetic materials: They don’t stretch as much, they resist grip tape abrasion more, and they greatly reduce the overall weight of the shoe.

Lace Protection

The longer a shoe lace can last without breaking, the more durable the shoe is overall, which means you will be skateboarding longer. That is why lace protection is one of the most important features in skate shoe design.

Unique Layering

Unique layering of materials is used throughout the éS line for Spring 2006. These layers of synthetics, leathers, meshes and rubber are all combined in the shoes to give them maximum structural support.
