....I've never seen them that much anywhere.....lol...

They think the shoes are shitty, low quality, and don't last long.
Rather than explaining in detail why the shoes are top notch and High quality, i think i'll take a different approach:
Common sense....The shoes are fuckin MADE to be jumped in, ran in, GRINDED in (on both the plate, and the actual shoe if you're skilled enough), and made for hard landings off of very high places. They're basically made to go through hell, they're top notch quality

And all the other models go beyond that. All soaps are like normal priced shoes. $70-$110

wow.....kind of like heelys.....
So why does sssoapshop sell them for $30? O_o

Look at the size vs. prices dude.
Its Sizes 3-5: $30.75, Sizes 6-9 $50.75, and Sizes 10-13 $55.75
If you still cant figure it out, stop trying, you'll hurt yourself

at least I dont' spend $90+ on........
wait....
CRAP! I can't say crappy grind shoes b/c soaps rule........:(
Feb 11, 2008rhinoskater30
if they were in stores theyd be around eighty
heelys (with grind plates) would probably be 100 bucks, but I don't check prices so i dont know

These include:
Molded Heel Cups (soap started that)
No half sizes
PU midsoles
plate sizes (3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, etc.)
Grindplates (quite obvious)
and there are a bunch others, but i cant remember them right now. Fact is, if god forbid soap never existed, Heelys would be made from low-quality, shitty materials, and the shoes wouldnt last as long
Soaps built their shoes like fucking tanks. Made them to last with a perfected system

you mean HSL's wave comfort heel bracket came from soap?
Feb 11, 2008Kain
true, b/c ppl aren't buying them. The ones that would get the most out of torches are teens/adults who have bigger feet. That's why the occasional rare size 10-12 goes between $100-$200 on ebay.

Soap didnt, and chances are Heelys would've used cardboard if soap didnt exist.
You'd be surprised at the things HSL took from the soap days...
In fact...Heelys have been around since 00 right? The soapshoes with the wheel in them were out back in 98, perhaps even before it

wasn't that "rolling soap" thing in the holiday demo vid?
Feb 11, 2008AnthoFlex
Feb 11, 2008AnthoFlex
....know that that means? If i'm not mistaken, the oNe video was released in late 97 early 98. Or perhaps mid 98...that seems more accurate

"HSL stole their idea from HSL?"
you wanna rewrite that?
Feb 11, 2008Kain
I mean do you think HSL stole the idea of a shoe with a wheel in the heel from SOAP?
Feb 11, 2008AnthoFlex
Feb 11, 2008Kain
But I really hope they didn't....if they did, then heelys shouldn't exist, and soaps would still be on top.

The heelys company.

-keys
-and sticker....the sticker was like a trademark symbol or somthing, that yellow sticker jus makes u think of soap, even though the soap makers and team were rebelious and down to earth with soaps ( i mean look at oNe and tWo, they curse, smoked, and a girl almost showed her tits), they still wanted to make sure people were safe, but no heelys takes that yellow sticker makes it more huge with mad stuff written on it, and make a video with hippy happy people showing u to heel.......
hell i think HSL took the name from the octane plates and named a shoe with it, Yes there is a heely named Octane, a coencidence?, maybe not.... there's already a soap named Flow, and wat does HSL do? name one of their shoes flow.

Irony.
But I would change the hippie voice to something else. War pigs is the only thing popping into my head though.

Hey lady--you've got the love I need
Maybe, more than enough.
Oh Darling Darling Darling, walk a while with me
Oh you've got so much... So much... So much...
Many times I've loved - Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed along the open road.
Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.
Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.
Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missing
Many many men can't see the open road.
Many is a word that only leaves you guessing
Guessing 'bout a thing you really ought to know, ooh!
You really ought to know...
I really ought to know...
and now.... A performance from AC/DC
Well I'm ever upper-class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all
I've got big balls
I've got big balls
They're such big balls
And they're dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all
And my balls are always bouncing
And my ballroom always full
And everybody cums and cums again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
Great balls of fire
I've got big balls
Oh, I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all
Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night
Oh, we've got big balls
We've got big balls
We've got big balls
Dirty big balls
He's got big balls
She's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all
Oh, we've got big balls
We've got big balls
We've got big balls/And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Dirty big balls/Oh we had such wonderful fun
He's got big balls/Seafood cocktail
She's got big balls/Crabs
But we've got the biggest balls of them all/Crayfish
Pull 'em and Suck 'em!
Pull 'em and suck 'em!
Pull 'em and suck 'em!
Pull 'em and suck 'em!
Pull 'em and suck 'em until they turn blue bitch!

I already got chased out of the courtyard for soaping, that's always fun :D
They are so stupid, they keep thinking that I'm skateboarding ON GRASS in the courtyard.

But now thanks to being in a decent job and thanks to the SS soap shop I can afford to buy soaps. $55.75 is a steal! Most normal shoes cost at least that much.

Larger sizes = more material = larger costs, so they cost more.
Compared to ANY shoe, they are STILL the same price, it's more reason to get them since you can either get a shoe, or a shoe + grind plate for same price. no brainer, aye?
Feb 27, 2008soapbofo
and...
if the MRSP for scorchers was 100 and broadsides 130 how much would they cost now
im just wondering
