my school banned flipflops becuase they are not safe. i understand that however, they are allowing students to wear high heels. arent high heels more dangerous than flipflops? if you were running because it was an emergency would you be safer wearing heels or flipflops? i think that if you were runign you could take the flipflops off and go but you cant take off heels. so how do we persuade the school board to prohibit the wearing of heels as well as flipflops?

The flip flop thing is about having exposed toes.  The chances are much greater for getting smashed/stubbed toes in flip flops than in a close-toed heel.  \n\nPLUS, for insurance purposes, schools will argue that running in hallways is against the rules, whereas your feet can get smashed just walking crowded hallways via flip flops.  So if you twist your ankle in a hurry, you should have been on time.

Ok well, believe me i know what im talkin about. I think you do need skateboarding shoes... I have been skating for about 5 years... and i can NEVER get near enough the same... just good grip with reugular gym shoes. It makes it basically impossible to ollie at all. Skating shoes pretty much work all the same, i pick whatever looks the best... but i recently found out that DC shoes are more for showing off then actual skating... But ya... I think you do definetly need skating shoes...\n\nAlso, once you start wearing them, you will find out that skating shoes are MUCH more comfartable than regular shoes...

Like many fads, they seem really cool at the time but then later you wonder what you ever saw in them.  I thought those were very uncomfortable and difficult to walk in.  But I don't enjoy wearing any type of flip-flops.

I had some that were like jump shoes you put on the front of the shoe and do the exercises.  It seemed to work... but I wanted to short cut the exercises by just running in them... Huge mistake...\n\nAs you run your heel wants to come down and puts some real stress on the  Achilles Heel... It really hurt for a month or two.

You got to slide your foot up with the edge of your shoe. Not with the bottom or your shoe. Make sure you jump just before the tail hits the ground so you get a nice pop.

Why in some countries 15 year old girls not allow to wear belly shirts, halter tops, short shorts and no bras in public, on streets, in stores.  Why they can't wear bikini's at the beach.\n\nWhy is there a warrant for arrest on a fashion model from Iran because she posed in a bra for a picture on a Madenform package to be used in Middle Eastern countries.  That was her only crime, allowing a picture to be taken of her in a bra.\n\nFor every postitive there is a negative.  That's a rule of the universe.

to do a h flip you need to go much faster than you normally do because they are very high if you don't you don't get enough air to land it trust me to land on your head hurts so when you go to do an h flip what helps me is i twist my body just a lil bit just enough to flip and land and when i land to make it smoother i land at a 90 degree angle and do a kickflip but i hope this helps it does me if you need anymore help email me at skater_gurl_rawks@yahoo.com

As I recall just after leaving my last class of my last day of HS I jumped up and clicked my heals together (I am from Ks ya know) and promptly bent over, smacked both cheeks and said rather loudly, "kiss my a$$."\n\nI will never go to a HS reunion!\n\nSo my answer is closest to the latter of the 2 options.

i agree use meuller, our varsity team is required to wear them, per our trainer, bc even liberos sparian their ankles when they shuffle, and blockers when they land..but anywho get the black ones from meuller they have two hard plastc straight pieces that go up the sides, then two velcro pieces that are about 2 inches wide a piece..and the best part is once you put them on the first time and put ur foot in your shoe, they stay there and when you take off your show, undo your ankle brace first then take off ur shoe, it saves time..if your coach is like ours she is like hustle get dressed faster..and ankle braces can be time consuming..but they are the most sturdy, and ive had other brands and they cause raw spots on my ankles, so you might want to get some pre-wrap for the frist few weeks until your ankles get used to it.

Is it a dress shoe?  How high is the heel?\n\nAthletic?  a cross-trainer, or for a specific sport?\n\nSlip on ? lace up?\n\nDoes it come in other colors?\nWho is the shoe designer?\nDo any famous people wear this shoe?  ( only for high fashion)\nWhat material is it made of?\nWhere can people buy this shoe?  Name of store( with phone number and address) or website address.

I think you find it 'hot' because it is forbidden by most rules and therefore subversive. Unlike some of the answers on here, I don't think it is because you have a foot fetish, although if you do that is your business, I think that you are reponding to the rebellious nature of the act of rulebreaking.\n\nPersonally, if the streets weren't so filthy, I think bare feet would be more hygenic than shoes because you can wash your feet on a daily basis, indeed most people do, however, when was the last time you washed the soles of your shoes??  Think of all the stuff you carry around on the bottom of your shoes that gets taken into places.  We should all have to remove our shoes at the door and go barefoot.  It would be much cleaner that way!!\n\nOn a slightly more personal note, and if you hadn't already twigged, I don't really like wearing shoes and go barefoot whenever possible :o)

Personally, my friends and I use duct tape because we like torn up skate shoes. But skate shoes were made to be abused. Adio, Etnies, Vans, and DCs aren't great skate shoes, not bad, but not great either. They, I think personally were made for vert skating. If you're doing street, I prefer Circa, eS, Lakai, or DVS. The rest I've never actually tried out.

I learned to stamp my shoes off outside before coming in.  I had a teacher in 4th grade that kept me inside from recess one day, because my shoes had been dirty so the floor under my desk was dirty.  She made me get down on my hands and knees and sweep up (with a little bittie broom) the dirt/sand that had fallen off my shoes.  \n\nI really DID NOT like that teacher after that...who keeps a 9 year old in from recess to sweep?  Why was I doing the janitor's job?  It's not like I intentionally caked my shoes with dirt, just to drop it in her class.  What a nasty old lady...anyway, that's what stuck with me

Yes, there is undoubtedly a rule in your school district's code of conduct that explicitly prohibits threatening teachers, staff, and other students.\n\nAll schools reserve the authority to ban from the school anyone or anything that they deem a threat to other students' opportunity to learn.\n\nThis old standby rule is usually used for fads and dress-code flaps. When I was in high school they used this rule to ban t-shirts bearing the infamous Farrah Fawcett poster. [sigh... those were the days]
