ask anyone here, they have ridden them.

yes they are very good, the feel in them is amazing, they have amazing grip, and on top of that they look good, haha.

they rip pretty fast but if i remember correctly someone posted some technique about how not to rip them fast. im talking prety stupid like, theyre good, get a pair

The Old Skool's are nice too, if you like a low-cut shoe.

they're kinda wide, so they're not great if you have narrow feet because your foot will slip around in them...other than that, no complaints

Really good for skating if you like a thin shoe. Your feet sweat more in them than any other shoe and I had an ollie hole in them in 3 or 4 days but the board feel is superior. Not to mention the looks.

Just get a pair of suede ones and some glue if you usually get ollie holes. You can't go wrong. Psyched on your shoes every session.

Did you get syndicates or the regular versions?
 
I used to put Lakai insoles in mine cause of the lack of arch support, but now I just raw dog it, better board feel and I like my foot to be as low to the ground as possible.

the only reason i can think you wouldnt double insole would be because you never leave the board.

They are wide and very flat, and will kill your feet if you go big, or even medium. But they are grippy and sorta timeless. I do agree with them being over rated. I like skating in the Hosoi Sk8-His because they have a better insole.

Sick.  Actually I just land every trick I try, so the lack of cushioning is not really an issue.
