Smart shoes for skater type

[motherhubbard12]

My son is generally laid back - always casual - skater style clothing - trendy - stussy etc but wants some smart shoes - what the hell do I buy???

Thank you

what the hell is a skater type? Do you mean he ice skates? Stussy? Am I showing my age?

No I mean skateboard. Stussy is a brand.

Plain black Vans.

Are they smart though? I didn't know if he meant brogue style?

I've got a skater girl . Smart shoes = school shoes!

What is he planning to wear with his smart shoes - that might help understand what he means by smart.

All black Adidas Stan Smith's? Also maybe look at the Nike website and type in SB, that's their skating range, it does vary but there may be something...

I’d go for some black doc martens lace ups.

Get him to send you screen shots of styles he likes and go from there.

Vans, with some fluorescent inserts. He will love you.

Sorry didn't read the smart bit!

I think these are smart enough, DS got away with them at primary school anyway!

All so helpful - thanks. I'm panic buying now
