Well You technically don't but i think they say that because of the gum grip on the bottom of the shoes gets a better grip on the board and also some non-Skateboarding shoes tear up faster because they were not made from a certain type of material. Most skateboarding shoes are made up of a gum grip on the bottom and suede leather.
