Quotation: The guys stroll the streets in their Soap shoes, a brand of shoe that allows them to grind their way in a practice known as aggressive walking, or soaping. Their sneakers may not look different from anyone else’s, but their Soap shoes are fitted with a metal plate in the arch of the foot to allow them to slide across rails, ledges and other hard, smooth surfaces like an inline skater or skateboarder.
