DKL Rubber Griptape

Amazing stuff

I’ll be honest, after preferring the grippiest griptape for most of my life I did not have high hopes for DKL. Even gave me a little anxiety putting it on the first time 😆 man I’m glad I gave it a shot. The grip is perfect, my flick stays consistent and the best part? I’ve never had a pair of shoes last the life of a board. Until now. I’m on board #2 with the same shoes and they have zero wear. I do end up wearing a flat spot on the DKL where I setup for most my tricks so I need 2 sheets per board. But at $20 for two sheets vs 2 or 3 pairs of shoes in the same time frame, I’m saving a lot of money.

DKL Saves Me So Much Money on Shoes

I see no difference between the ability to do skateboard tricks and the sandpaper grip. I do, however, have more of a variety of shoes to skate now and no more gorilla glue, shoe-goo, or duct tape to keep my shoes in shape. My oldest pair of converse are about 8 years old and I finally had to put them out to pasture as the seam in the back of the shoe ripped from normal wear and tear. So, save your shoes and your wallet by buying DKL. It is all I have used for over 8 years now and I won't be going back to sandpaper grip.

Not disappointed

I don't skate every day. I don't put a lot of wear and tear but this product is awesome. Shoe saver. Only bad thing is having to remove old grip tape to replace it with dkl.
