Start off with the express's dude...they're light and durable with a nice plate. My AIM is AnthoFlex if u have any more questions...BTW, u shoulda gotten Soaps a long time ago...they're pretty rare now

Depends where you're coming from. kateskates.co.uk is good if you're in the UK. I'm not sure how you'd get them if you're in the USA, though. Best to look on the Internet and find a good deal - basic shoes with the Original plate retail at somewhere in the region of £52 ($US94) - your fixed-plate models can set you back anywhere in the region of £80 ($US144).

Personally, I'd reccommend a shoe with a removable plate to learn in - they're cheaper and you can replace the plate if you really bust it up. If you get good at it, you can move on to fixed-plate shoes that give you a more technical grind.

I wear a pair of Scab Greys myself, and I assure you that they're a good shoe (if a little hard to use on thin rails). As I said - kateskates.co.uk is a good UK site.

there's some on ebay, but i'm bidding on them, and i'll keep on bidding cuz i need the pair. But, keep an eye out on ebay, ohter size 12 shoes will show up, they often do.

ok i wont bid even tho i could out bid u prolly.
