Yeah that's basically the point of grinding shoes. The only thing is that because of the plate it makes the actual shoe weaker because there's a giant chunk out of the shoe where the plate is, so when you wear then them all the time they tend to wear down faster than regular shoes. My t's are trashed from wearing them so much.

Yeah, my heels are white instead of orange. And my friend left his plates off for a month or two, and when he put em back on, he could pretty much skate on tile floors because they were off so much.. pretty fun actually

the problem i had with my soap shoes is that they where ugly like your sister.
