anyone remember these (soap shoes)
-
The official shoes of Sonic, at least during the Adventure era.
Only in adventure 2

Only in adventure 2
Goes to show how well my memory works, I genuinely thought it was supposed to still be a thing in 1 but the official deal fell through until 2.

can't you also skateboard on them?
maybe so some weird grab the board trick while you slide down the rail on your soap shoesPhysically yes, but then you run afoul of skateboarding philosophy and whether it counts if you're just sliding around on your feet instead of the board.

never had 'em growing up, but now as an adult I want a pair
Allow me to introduce you to the best documentary you will ever watch, Soap or Die. self-funded by the world's last surviving 90s guy and soap shoe fanatic.

Are you listening to The Adventure Zone, per chance?

As an orthopedic surgeon who wants a bigger yacht, I think this is a great idea
I will never kowtow to big ortho
-
Every once in a while, as an out of shape guy in my 30s, I think about buying myself a pair of heelys.
Was never a skater, never really had much interest in them as a kid, but something about the idea of rolling around in Costco while I do my grocery shopping appeals to me.
My friends do that.
Live your dream, mate.

i liked these because I could jump way way way higher than i ever could on my skateboard
just go to the park and sprint at a bench/table and grind the entire length of the thing. things were fun as all hell for awhile. this was like... god... 1997?
it got old after awhile because while doing sick ass grinds was fun as hell, that was all you could really do. went back to skateboarding pretty quick.

The only reason I know they exist is because Sonic Adventures 2 trivia videos. That, and I've seen them while playing SA2, but those are very hazy memories from when I was maybe 5-6 years old.

I only know about them because Sonic Adventure 2. And even then, I didnt know they were a thing till years later. Ive never seen them or heard of them in real life, though.

Nah man I’m good with my H E E L Y S

I still want a combo shoe of soap shoes + heelies. I think someone makes a kit to make your own heelies.

Vote now.
There used to be a company that sold grind plates you could add to your shoes but it looks like their website is defunct.

Nope. Never heard of them.

They were big with the rollerblade community as it was a way to grind rails without rollerblades. I was in the skater / rollerblade clique in my HS and they were relatively popular. Since I had the coordination of a 2 legged cow I went for heelys. I was cool in my own mind at least...

Heelys will always be cool

Heelys will always be cool
as someone already said, if you can make a heelie soap combo shoe that would be cool

Never saw them in person, but man, I wanted a pair as a kid. I wanted to roll around at the speed of sound.
