well i have my expresses on right now and i have had them since the summer and they are mostly beat up from walking through rocky trails and such so DO NOT walk over rough terrain with them it really messes with the leather and grindplate. Weather dosent really bother them though from my experiences, but dont go soaking them in water for hours a day or they Will die haha

Like i've stated many times before, these shoes are meant to take a beating. They'll last you an extremely LONG time. So do what you wanna do in them

aight thanks guys.. much appreciated

one more thing so does that mean if i soap in the rain or when its wet out i'm only endangering myself and not the shoes right?

Apr 16, 2008Joshua3109

well, consider this, you wax a rail, curb, edge etc before you grind it right? You want there to be as little friction as possible between your plateds and the surface theyre sliding over. So I would think you would be safe in the rain as it would be another form of wax in a way

thats true well thanks for the helps guys i really appreciate it and also is it better to have the shoe tighter or looser? or is that just prefernce?

This last winter I had to walk 3 miles in the snow while wearing my express. They kept my feet quite warm.
