SHOES FOR THE DAILY GRIND

"Soap shoes are no ordinary shoes. Embedded in each sole is a smooth plastic plate that lets wearers slide along handrails, curbs, ledges and other structures. Like skating...without the skates. This is the sport of grinding. Soaps open a whole new recreational ctivity. Inline skates are generally forbidden indoors, but Soaps can be used anywhere, anytime, transforming a flight of school stairs or a study hall window sill into a playground. The first of their kind, and the only such product on the market, Soap shoes not only perform as stylish and comfortable footwear, but they also convey upon the wearer the gift of invincibility. Few people can resist the temptation of sliding, whether it's sliding into work 5 minutes late, or sliding into home plate. Soap = fun. Fun footwear. The cheap thrill of grinding has just gotten easier. Unique shoes designed for sliding or grinding on curbs, benches, rails, or just about anything. Slipperiest footwear on the planet. Portable Activity. Freestyle Walking. Sliding shoes. White socks on a gym floor. Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Curb surfing. Whenever, wherever. It's not something you go out to do. It's something you do while you're out.""
