At the end of a very exciting year for me and my weartested-blog, I’d like to first of all thank all of the visitors and readers in 2009. I’m still excited every time I have a look at the stats and see how many people visit this site on a daily basis. Without you, many possibilities…
I just finished a review for the German Place Magazine about the Converse Chuck Taylor Skate. It will be published in the January issue as a part of the MADE FOR SKATE Shoe reviews that will be featured in the mag every 2 months from now on.
I just received a sample of one of the new Arto Saari pro models of Gravis Ivsk8 for 2010. The “Viking high vulc” features a new abrasion resistant material in the front that I wanted to test since I first heard of it. It is supposed to be more durable than leather while still having…
This is the Mike Mo after 6 hours of skating. Please notice the almost perfectly fine laces…not bad so far! And I can also reveal already that many will be stoked on the cupsole of these, at least I am.
The second episode of the Slap Shoe Blog went online today. Check it out by clicking on the picture!
I’m happy to announce that I got the possibility to test the first Mike Mo pro model that will release in Spring 2010. Thanks a lot to Kelly Bird at Lakai for the support and trust! The format of the review is not yet decided, but be sure that updates will be posted along the…

For all that requested the Nike SB Bruin to be reviewed next I have good news. The next episode of the Slap Shoe Blog will be about this new Nike model. If everything works out as planned, it will be online in just a few weeks. Thanks to Nike SB and Mark Whiteley from Slap…
I’ll have a close look at your suggestions for future reviews and figure out what’s possible, reasonable and wanted by the audience during the next week. I’m not going to close the comment function, so if you have any last minute ideas just keep posting.
Here’s a picture of the Gravis IVsk8 Viking lows after 10 hours of skating. The review is almost done by now but won’t be posted until mid September since the Busenitz Pro review just went online.
For the next review project I’m planning to try something new. You, the readers, will be able to get involved a bit more. Most probably there’s going to be a vote. Right now I’m figureing out which shoes will be options and I already came up with some ideas, I don’t want to reveal them…
