Collection: Cupsole Skate Shoes

Cupsole skate shoes are distinguished by their solid, one-piece sole unit that is either glued or stitched to the upper. The sole is shaped to 'cup' the foot, often incorporating a foam midsole for extra cushioning. As a result, cupsoles offer less boardfeel but provide superior impact protection and support, making them more suited for high impact skating activities like stair sets, gaps, or rails. Advances in design have led to the development of thinner cupsole models that balance both boardfeel and support, offering skaters a middle ground between the traditional cupsole and vulcanized styles.
