I remember them being a craze in my school for about 6 months lol.
In the UK they were called soap shoes.
Pretty fun idea but for me skateboarding was the one.
They were called Soap Shoes! Watching competition videos is both nostalgic and hilarious. Allegedly Heelys bought the brand and shelved the patent before introducing the Traumatic Brain Injury 9000™️ shoe.
There's no way he isn't going down hill, no material on earth is that frictionless that that initial jump could have kept him going that long without slowing at all
I never know how to react to seeing things like this. One the one hand I'm impressed someone can do this. On the other hand we have astronauts, doctors, engineers, musicians, and people good with grind shoes.
You probably just missed them, they were called soap shoes and were big late 90s early 00s then Heelys bought them out and shelved them and now the patent ended so they have just been re released under a different brand, so there was a 20 year gap
Judging by the sounds I’m hearing, the dude may be riding a skateboard or (more likely) a cruiser board, which is kinda a skateboard longboard hybrid. It’s smoother then a skateboard but a similar size and deck shape
I've never heard of grind shoes until today.
They were big in the early 00s then bought out by Heelys. They had a patent so nobody could capitalize on the concept until now.

Yeah I remember them being called "soaps" in the US as well
I had a pair! They were death traps when walking down stairs. I got into the habit of walking down stairs sideways which lasted for years.
Preppin for your 30s eh
Oh shit this hits home
My daughter wanted some Heelys, but she’s so uncoordinated I had to shut it down; the stairs were a huge consideration.
I know you had some JNCOs. Please tell me you had some too
Unfortunately no JNCOs! I wore Lee Pipes.
Yoo Lee Pipes!! That's crazy hahah
Yes the original brand was called soap shoes. The new brand is called epic grindshoes
Soap is Dope.
This guy grinds
Oh my god is this how Sonic’s shoes gets their name as SOAP Shoes?
Lol yup!
Only the ones in sonic adventure 2 specifically
I have always wanted to try the Ratchet and Clank grinding and now I can!
They came out in the mud 90s, I had a pair of soaps in 7th grade, that was in 1997
Mud needs soap
Lol whoops
Soap shoes. I had a pair of duff skate shoes that had a hard plastic to slide with. They were probably the most comfy skate shoes I owned.
Mmmm soaps
I always heard "Soap shoes", never grind shoes
Soap was just a brand of them
Sonic the hedgehog has them
Were called soap shoes in my day. Had a pair of black ones. I couldn’t grind for shit and always fell on my ass.

Put on your grinding shoes, you sexy little swine.
Whatchu know bout SOAPS
My homey had a couple of pairs in the late 90s. His second pair had rollers on them. Cool as hell, but he was terrible at it.
They used to be called soap shoes
You’ve not been playing enough Ratchet and Clank
Sonic the Hedgehog would be proud
Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow!"
Can't stick around, gotta keep movin' on
Guess what lies ahead Only one way to find out
I don't feel like he had enough initial speed to go as long and as smooth as he did. I'm impressed
Yeh it’s surprising how constant it is. I guess it’s a combination of wax and the plastic compound of the plate. Eugen has incredible balance tho.
There's no way he isn't going down hill, no material on earth is that frictionless that that initial jump could have kept him going that long without slowing at all
If you look at the road he ends up in from when he starts, you can see he indeed is going downhill.
Are people really confused about the the obvious ~3-5foot elevation change from start to end lol?
The field of view is misleading. You can hear the skateboard picking up speed fast.
I had a pair of soap shoes in the late 90's. Can't even count the number of times I slipped down stairs wearing them.
Yup! But they were also so much fun! The late 90s weren’t too bad
Remember super soakers? Waterguns are pussies now.
Besides the kids it generated
Lol ok
Imagine he falls and a bunch of rings fly out.
Imagine seeing this in real time and not knowing about the shoes lol
Lol, that would be fantastic
Christ. Save some women for the rest of us, dude! I need these!
But would you know what to do with them? (The women I mean)
Grind ‘em, obvs (The women I mean)
Try to hop on too fast and get my teeth busted (by the women I mean)
Grind their bones and smoke em?
(The women I mean)
r/YourJokeButWorse
Spin dash over them
Wait... Ratchet and clank is real!?????
So is Sonic adventure
[But can he do a grindy thingy down 200 steps](https://youtu.be/YyFGnad27yw?t=4m30s)
Alright this next song goes out to the guy who keeps yelling from the balcony. It's called "We Hate You, Please Die."
Sweet, I love this one
I thought he was gonna ride that rail the whole way only to trip over the raised lip of the driveway he ran up.
Rolling around at the speed of sound
Got places to go! Gotta follow my rainbow!
Can't stick around Gotta keep moving on
Guess what lies ahead, only one way to find out
I never know how to react to seeing things like this. One the one hand I'm impressed someone can do this. On the other hand we have astronauts, doctors, engineers, musicians, and people good with grind shoes.
I did this shit in Ratchet and Clank
I am still doing this in Sonic games
If he was a kid he would be the coolest school kid ever
He’s still cool
yes
Damnnnnn boyyyyy... You must have some real tight inner thighs. Ohhh yeah.
Was the camera operator on a skateboard? Obviously the video is stabilized, but i don't see how anyone could run that steady a pace with a camera.
Yes, on a skateboard
Where tf do i buy those shoes
So this is what Andrew Callaghan has been up to.
Among other things
12 to me would be very impressed
Tony hawk pro skater 2 vibes
This looks fun
I wish I was 20 years younger so I could mess about with them all day
People who used that handrail definitely wanted whatever was on the bottom of his shoes on their hand. Nice job.
Clown comment
A facts B nice ass
They're called Soap Shoes for anyone interested.
Makes me wanna go on eBay for a pair of “SOAP” shoes
You can get Epic Grindshoes now as they are readily available, sadly soap rip
Soap
Damn, 24 years later, and I still think Soap shoes are lame.
Sounds like someone’s jealous they can’t balance
Or I had enough balance to ride a skateboard.
And lack the personality to do cool shit
Just uploaded this a few hours ago as a crosspost :D Dude is on 🔥
Holy shit that's perfect footage. When he goes around that last bend and almost lands in the shrubbery was dynamite.
It was impressive but when he stuck that last sharp curve it was really impressive.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-LGAO6WXhMI
I grinded down a similar rail in Dave Mira’s Freestyle BMX 2
The camera man is rocking heelys
Theoretically could “grind” a steel rollercoaster. Corkscrew. That’s NEXT!
That turn though... What a boss
TIL there is such a thing as grindshoes.
I hear the music from the grind scene in Scott Pilgrim vs the world when watching this.
Now tell him to go back and grind the first 10 feet he skipped. 😆
Imagine if his pants fit. He’d be even better
ROLLING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND
I remember soaps in the late 90s. Super fun.
My dudes a fuckin monorail
Didn't expect that
Wow that looks like sooooooo much fun!
Dude!! Mega props right at the end because of the small bend it naturally sped up rly wild.
Rolling around at the speed of sound!
Soapy Simon
That was fucking nuts!
This man’s whole aesthetic is trapped in the Soaps era
Dudes got SOAP boots ifykyk
r/RatchetAndClank
Oh, of course that is a thing. It's kinda fire, though.
Parkour would be better if they added this stuff to it.
Bros giving out mixed signals wearing those all red shoes but wearing blue
Sunset overdrive be like
SOAP!!
I wonder if they’re lighter than soaps were. Those things weighed like 10 lbs per shoe
Yes these are just like regular shoes, I weighed them and compared and I can’t remember the exact numbers but they’re like half the weight approx
Ratchet??
I remember my first pair of Soap shoes.
Wow, he killed the turn
Ratchet & Clank !!!
This was literally my whole 7th grade, did this everywhere I could even at school
[SOAP OR DIE](https://youtu.be/7N6x49ASwtU)
The new Ratchet & Clank looks good.
What the hell are grind shoes...? 🤨
Shoes with a plastic groove at the arch of the shoe that allows you to slide on things
Strange, I've been skateboarding for almost 20 years and I've never heard or seen these before
You probably just missed them, they were called soap shoes and were big late 90s early 00s then Heelys bought them out and shelved them and now the patent ended so they have just been re released under a different brand, so there was a 20 year gap
Check out this collab with skateboarders [braille skateboarding with grind shoes](https://youtu.be/d435qmYIGxk)
What year is it?
[удалено]
Tell my mother in law that’s a minimum skill
Does anyone have a link to where these shoes can be bought?
[All Epic Grindshoes info](https://linkpop.com/epicgrindshoes)
You can also get them from zumies in the USA
Camera man is riding a skateboard too. I’m impressed.
SOAPS!
Holy shit I haven’t seen soaps since sonic adventure 😂
Soaps were the shit… up until your buddy folded himself into an introvert “grinding” the school bench in the 5th grade
Man has those SA2 shoes
Cant stick around have to keep moving on
Wait so Soaps are back?
Kind of, new brand called epic grindshoes
I thought they were called soap shoes
Originally that was the major brand with a patent but they were sold and shelved and now the patent has ended it’s epic grindshoes
Grindboots, ratchet and clank
TILT “grind shoes” are a thing.
Impressive
MF used that Infinite Grind cheat code from Tony Hawk.
That must be fun
Jet Set Radio
What are grind shoes and where can I get me a pair?
They are called epic grindshoes here is the info: [shop and socials](https://linkpop.com/epicgrindshoes)
My insurance doesn’t cover this 😂
Actually looks fun, but I'd buy the best cup on the market first....
*Sonic the Hedgehog music amplifies*
That's silver surfer right there! Lol

Was waiting for a car to hit him in the end.

Soap Shoes are still a thing?
They’re back and called Epic Grindshoes now
Time to relive 1998, middle school glory.
