| -General-
Q. What are soapshoes?
A. SOAPs are the shoes with the plastic concave arch in the sole that allows you to grind. You’re able to Slide/Grind across handrails, curbs, ledges, just about anything with an edge.
Q. Where are you able to Grind?
A.You’d be surprised at what you’re able to slide on out there. When you get your soaps, your entire outlook on things changes. You start to look for anything in plain sight to grind on. I say, if its sticking out of the floor, and has an edge, give it a rub with your grindplate…If it’s smooth, go grind it!
Q. Are the Express plates replaceable?
A. The Express plates are not replaceable. They really don’t need to be. They are extremely heavy-duty and last a very long time. You won’t ever have to worry about them falling off, and in most cases, the grindplate outlives the shoe.
Q. Do SOAPs sell in half sizes?
A. This is a question we get a lot. SOAPs do not come in half sizes. We came up with a system that works pretty great: Rather than sizing people down, we usually size em up, so if you are a 8 1/2, size up to a 9. If you are a 9 1/2, size up to a 10. If you are a tight 10, size up to an 11. This helps assure that your SOAPs will fit. For women, bring them down by ONE size. So if a woman is a 7, size her into a 6. We’ve found this works best.
Q. My grindplates are worn and are all torn up. How do I know when I should buy new SOAPs?
A. To be honest, you want your grindplates to be as worn down and torn up as much as possible. It creates better lock-in on rails and enhances control when grinding. You should buy new soaps when you’re shoe is no longer grind-able, or if you outgrow them.
-Quality-
Q. Why are your prices so low? That must mean the shoes are lower quality right?
A. No, that’s not the case at all. These shoes are built to last. Soon we will have a video up that fully explains the quality of SOAP shoes. These shoes are meant to be walked in and ran in as everyday shoes. They are MADE to be jumped up on rails and rocky ledges and slid across them. They’re made for extremely hard landings off of handrails and other high areas. It’s common sense, if these shoes are made to take serious beatings, why wouldn’t they last long? In fact, chances are, these shoes will last longer than any shoe you’ve ever bought. Once again, we will be putting up a video that goes in-depth about the quality of soapshoes soon. We offer these shoes at such an affordable price so that everyone can get a pair at a reasonable price.
-Sponsorship-
Q. How do I get sponsored by the SSsoapshop?
A. Good question. Prospective soapers are usually brought to our attention through current team riders. Ideally, what we look for are skilled soapers with good attitudes who are progressing at a rapid rate. If you're getting coverage, that always helps, too. Sponsor-me videos are encouraged, but they're usually more effective after you've established some prior coverage. If you feel like you have good footage and are stoked on SOAP, we encourage you to send in a tape. Give me some time to check it out and then I’ll follow it up with a call.
We're stoked when soapers want to represent SOAP and the SSsoapshop, but...
DO NOT SEND EMAILS ASKING "WILL YOU SPONSOR ME" or "WHAT TRICKS DO I NEED TO KNOW TO BE SPONSORED." If you are serious about seeking sponsorship, then send a video (VHS or DVD) and LETTER, as to why you want to represent SOAP and the SSsoapshop to the address below. DO NOT SEND YOUTUBE VIDEOS OR OTHER VIDEO WEBSITE LINKS AS YOUR SPONSOR-ME VIDEO. Youtube and other video sharing site links will be ignored. Emails requesting sponsorship will be quickly deleted. Please include your phone number.
