Yes, they look like skateboarding shoes. Because they are. But they are more than skateboarding shoes. They are e-skateboarding shoes.
So, you are probably asking, “What’s the difference between skateboarding shoes and e-skateboarding shoes?”
The difference is all about the construction and the build of the sole. E-skateboards produce higher and more consistent speeds than skateboards do. This requires shoes to be bottom-heavy with great grips for a better and more secure ride.
Another important requirement for e-skateboarding shoes is the stability of the shoe upper. It cannot have some flimsy suede or textile mesh upper. The upper needs to have materials that will keep the foot in place while not compromising flexibility.
