Your sneakers must be 100% FLAT on the bottom so we can bond Groove Soles on air-tight. They must also have super comfortable insoles in order to feel amazing with Groove Soles. If you have shoes that you're not sure about, just email us a link to the shoes and we will let you know if we can make them groove.

In general, skateboarding shoes with premium cushioning are best because skate shoes are built for lateral side-to-side motions.
-
If you can afford luxury sneakers such as Gucci, many of those have amazing cushioning as well
* most Supras are good for Groove Soles, but Skytops & Belmonts have the most premium cushioned insoles.
WE DO NOT ACCEPT sneakers without well-cushioned insoles because it's a waste of your money & our time. Cheap sneakers + Groove Soles will hurt your feet. You can already slide in uncomfortable $600 dress shoes with Italian leather soles like ours, so our revolution is sneaker COMFORT + smooth soles. It feels SO GOOD on comfortable shoes like Supra Skytops, but it feels bad on basic sneakers. I actually hated the very first prototype I ever made with $40 Vans because it was uncomfortable, so then I added Dr. Scholls' insoles, but that made the shoes fit too tight. Then I upgraded to the more comfortable $65 Vans Chukkas and it felt awesome. Don't skimp. Get great shoes for Groove Soles so your body & soul feel great groovin' in them! - Rob Corbett, founder
