has anybody tried these yet?  It says they're wider than normal shoes, being a wide-feeted person i'm thinking about ordering a pair
[close]

What is the name of that shoe? I dont really like Cons, but these look sick.
[close]
It's called the Pro Leather Mid, this is I think the 2nd or 3rd time they changed the shoe in the line. My only concern would be the tread. But I want to try some cupsole cons at some point.
Here's a link for a closer look
http://www.skatewarehouse.com/Converse_Pro_Leather_S_Mid_Shoes/descpage-CVPLMPP.html

Thanks, Ill try to find them somewhere. I only skate cupsole shoes, and lately Ive been thinking about switching into midtops, or hightops. But to find something that is not a Nike Dunk or some Supra abomination is really difficult over  here.

Got these for the low during all the Black Friday sales. I planned on just wearing them around and then MAYBE skating em (i love midtops but always been hesitant about Hi's) but I had the weird inclination to skate them today and they're actually really fucking good. they feel just like the regular 7's but with full ankle protection, without restricting movement. they look exactly like the lows when wearing pants too. Im stoked on em they'll definitely be my go-to shoe for gaps n whatnot.

I didn't read through the page, but probably have an email or link here:

Absolutely agree with you about the  tread on the sole being too shallow,  it's probably going to go bald really fast.  Don't know what the hell they were thinking,  the grooves should be 2x as deep as they are,  maybe they were trying to find a balance between cushion and board feel and decided to go with cushion over making the life span of the sole better. Either way they feel like they will skate well.  At least they were only $30. 

I had a pair when the first released.Even after balding the sole due to filming they still hold up and grip.As stated above the grip pattern should be changed.Other then that it was my favorite shoe from supra to date

I know that they'll only last a couple sessions even with shoe goo but they feel so damn good and it's my favorite colorway.

@Wizard - They are beauts. Also interested to hear how they skate. I've tried the Romero Troubadour Mid now twice and Emerica's sizing just doesn't seem to work for me for whatever reason. The 10 are too long and the 9.5 are way too tight for me.

I like them a lot. They're Laced Highs, and I have a regular pair of the Laced, so I knew exactly what I was getting into. If you like the odd combination of no padding and a cup sole, these are a good choice. They grip well too. The toes are pretty round. I pretty much only buy Emericas, and ones that are on sale, and like all of them. I've had Reynolds Cruisers, Winos, the Laced, and Shifter Lows. I don't really know the deal with the sizing, because I can comfortably wear 10s, 10.5s, and 11s, but I guess I just got it like that.

Edit - Damn, I sound hella boring in writing.

I actually got them for $35 at No Comply skate shop in Bemidji, Minnesota, while visiting my parents. They had a huge clearance section including a half dozen black eS Accels, which suprised me.

Had anyone worn the Huf HR1 boot?  Is it actually good for winter?  Chicago is getting hit with a lot of snow and sub-zero temperatures and doubling up on socks probably won't cut it.

I can tell you next week, mine come in tomorrow and with wind chills, it's supposed to be around -30 here!  I need to move soon :/

Just go to a shoe store and ask if you can borrow one of their shoe stretchers.
I had a pair of Vans AVE's that would kill my right pinky toe. I stuck one of these in (with the toe bump inserts) cranked it down and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Afterwards the shoe fit perfectly and didn't rub on my toe anymore

Has anyone owned a pair of Emerica Wino Fusion? I ordered some that came today and the sole isn't even made of rubber. Its like some weird felt like material. I don't plan to skate in them but they feel like they will tear apart from walking down the street. Are they even waterproof?
