do you guys wear your lavers around daily, when you arent shredding?

i longboard and wear some nice Emerica's for when I do, but would it be terrible if i started wearing my lavers to skate? (3-5 business days until arrival on the lavers btw)

lavers are usually mesh, and from what i can see from skating and shredding, when you skate lavers, the mesh is right where the ollie zone is. so if you skate lightly, go for it. the grip on them sucks for skating tho. you need real gum rubber or somethnig like that imo.

Yeah, it's fine, the only problem I have when wearing them around is the dirt when I try to play indoors again. I carry mine with me, it's really only a minor inconvenience and will keep them lasting longer!

I often have two pairs of lavers in my backpack... I wear then at school all the time, but when it's snowy/muddy I don't wear them outside.

I've got 4 pairs of lavers

Pair 1: Walking around & day to day use + shred at school

Pair 2: Walking around & day to day use + shred

Pair 3: Only at home on carpet

Pair 4: Only for shred

You'll be okay walking around with em-but mesh gets uber dirty uber quick

Also, if you skate with them-they will fall apart in a week

If the lavers are new its good to wear them alot to break them in, but they will deteriorate faster if you wear them as your only pair of shoes.

I've worn my lavers all year.

They are so beat up now...I love it. They look so haggard and cool.

I used to wear my lavers as my only shoes, and they broke in really nicely. New lavers kinda suck really (still better than any other shoe though). Haha. But now they're so choice that I reserve them for shred, because I don't want them to get any worse. I may actually get another pair for wearing around so that I can break those in.
