I skated and BMX'd for many years.... I was in tennis shoes 99% of the time, as I was sponsored for about 10 years of my life...Wore Reeboks, Adidas, etc...
Everytime I was off the tennis court, I popped on my "skater" shoes because there was quite a different feel to them. They have more padding than most normal shoes and are very soft on blisters. I also throw them on when I'm playing drums. Playing a double kick while wearing shell toes isn't the most comfortable thing. Gives your feet the worst tingles around, but the padded skater shoes actually stop that feeling.
I do not skate anymore, but I still wear skate shoes. I still jump on a snowboard and yup...After I am all blistered up, I put my DC's back on. What the fuck else would I wear? Pennyloafers? Hi top Nike's? Just because your taste is for the "classy" doesn't mean all of us feel like we need to dress to impress people. We all wear different shoes for different reasons.
