Do you think it would be possible to buy replacement plates, and then put those on normal shoes? Thanks.

If you can get the impacts or express's off without fuking the actual shoe up, then yea

Jun 20, 2006AnthoFlex

i dunno about the impacts....i've been examining my Express' though

How would you get the large arch in the soul of your shoe? Soap uses a very thick soul to make an arch. Even if you did have an arch it would not be the right shape to fit the plate.

No, Antho, removing the Express or Impact plates would not work. They're a completely different shape, size and depth, for one, plus the hardware isn't there to fix them to the shoes

Holy crap, i thought he was talking about putting them on Express' or any other non-replaceable shoe...as for u Mart, thanx for the info

OMFG.... I h8 the way i type....my last comment sounded so threatening, i didnt mean any disrespect dude sorry bout that

lol.

MGM has got it, both Soap shoes and Heelys utilize a very tall base to accommodate for the grindplate/ and or wheel, while trying to provide reasonable comfort. Slapping a grindplate on any old shoe wouldn't work too well. But if you were desparate, which even so I wouldn't recommend this, if you can find a way to gouge out an arch in your soles, with a decent amount of it left for your foot's sake, you could get half of a large PVC pipe and cement that on there. Still, if you try pulling grinds that need tweakage, you will probably tear your shoe over time, and your grindplate won't last for even a week.

In the end, you'd be better off stealing a pair of Soaps.




I don't advise that you do that, though.

P.S.

When I was talking about gouging soles, I was talking about your shoes' soles. Not your feet... ouchie momma.

Jun 21, 2006Kasperchaos

well thanks for the advise, it's just hard to find soaps nowadays

Jun 21, 2006SapAuthor

dude,it's next to impossible. First you would have to get hte plate, and somehow make the mold in the shoe through some sort of cutting or melting the rubber. Next you would have to glue the plate on to the shoe without it coming off. Just buy a pair of soaps dude, u'll be better off.
