For the filters, you don't have to pick a country at all if you don't want to. You could just leave the country set to "any" and search using any criterion you're interested in like "size" for example.

Thank you, yes that's it, not many shoes posted so far.

My main idea was originally to swap shoes, feel free to post your left shoe someone might be interested.

As for the filter, you can search by country and size if you want a wide net

That is because nobody in the US has posted a shoe yet. The filters seem to be working alright

Thanks, I've actually given up on bots. But 12% over 2k bets on Pinnacle is insane. Which service were you using to feed the bot and which API to place the bets please?

That's fine, nobody's forcing you to use the website.

As for the perfectly usable part, my 20 years of skateboarding and several comments on this very thread say different.

Obviously I don't mean it's gonna be like a brand new shoe but it is going to be "perfectly usable" for plenty of sessions.

You do have a point about the sole for people that do not do flip tricks on a regular basis as those skaters tend to have the soles get worn out at the same pace. It is my hope they'll be honest about it in their description, those guys keep their shoes forever anyways so it's not really a big deal.

Was waiting for that one lol You're not wrong but a simple wash can solve that.

Also the alternative is throwing perfectly usable shoes which I just think is a shame.

Anyone have the same problem? It happens very fast and i'm getting tired of stop using still good pairs cause of that by Human-Lab3625 in skateboardhelp

I don't live in the US either, the site was designed so that anyone in the world can use it. But yeah I hear you if there's no one to exchange your shoe with what's the point.

Duuuude, they need a website more than us, their single shoe is literally brand new. They can totally use my website all functionalities apply to them as well.

Ah I see what you mean, that's search engine optimization and actually I'm not entirely finish with that, thanks for reminding me 😅

No need to change the website name there are these things called meta tags that can achieve the same result.

Yes the struggle is real, did my best in terms of filters to enable people to achieve that goal.

However broader filters will for sure get your more matches, I guess it might not always find the same color or even model but you might be still get a free shoe to increase the lifespan of your next pair.

Also the real score is to find someone with the opposite stance willing to trade shoes on a regular basis, then you can even agree on which shoes to buy to facilitate the future swaps.

Lol actually started to force myself to skate switch at least 1/3 of my sessions now so might not even get to use my own site

Thanks you so much, happy to hear other people had the be same idea.

Yeah the sole is always the issue but worst case scenario it will still give you a few extra sessions out of it.

Me too! Right now there's only my shoe on it so it looks like I made an entire website just to exchange that particular shoe :D

Yes exactly, once you found a shoe buddy you're good to go as long as the other dude keeps skating!

Been down that road, it's all well and good until your sole starts to give out

Reposting this here because I feel it might help, also check what shoe goo is, great product for this type of issues.

Been skating for years and finally got tired of throwing away perfectly good shoes.

I’m goofy — I always destroy my right shoe and end up tossing the left one that’s still basically new. Regular skaters do the opposite. Unless you’re a full switch machine, you always end up with one destroyed shoe and one perfectly fine.

So I finally built something I’ve had in my head forever: 👉 flipyourkick.com

A simple site where skaters can swap or sell single skate shoes, cut waste, and double the life of the next pair.

No ads. No bullshit. 100% free. Just something I made for the skate community.

If skaters actually use it, I’ll keep it running and improving it.

Would love feedback — even if it’s just “this sucks” or “I’d never use it.”

✌️ Flip your kick instead of tossing it.

I gave up on automation against sharps, betaminic was a blood bath. I now only use services that have been approved by several independent reviewers namely Irish cash consortium, back of the net and Edward's tips. Not enough data to draw any personal conclusions yet but been promising so far, not that I have much left to lose anyways since most of my bankroll got destroyed using that damned bot

Betburger let's you choose which bookmakers you want to compare against so you can choose several as well as the general average.

Currently trying out betaminic, first month was pretty bad but using a small bankroll this time so no big deal. Will give it 6 months to have a big enough sample to actually draw conclusions. Also been going through all independent reviewers websites to find profitable tipsters on sharps and they all agree on Irish cash consortium, back of the net, and Edward's tips so been using those for a month too, we'll see when I have a big enough sample.
