Don't feel too bad, the word should be "deduced". Deducted means to subtract or take away. Unless he means well taken away, which would be goofy.

^^pretty much. im a 9 and usually go down half a number with cons but got these on sale in my number and fit well since its a hi top.

i noticed the most of the cons skate line have some cushioning and padding, so its not really necessary to go down half a size unless its a CTS

Wizard Fight turned me onto these Emerica High Laced a few pages back. I did a quick skate around the block in them, nothing serious just slappies and ollies and such, and they feel pretty good. I'm not a particularly big Emerica fan but I like the basic look.

be sure to come back with a review after you've shredded em.   I'll be particularly interested in a comparison to the Howard Desert Boot.

Nike SB Classic Highs. Recently cleaned out my closet, and consolidated my collection a lot, gave a bunch of pairs to friends and made some trades for other shit. Found these in my closet which I got last year from SPOT. I wore them around for awhile back then to break them in, but I never skated them. They were a bit thin for me at the time, and I still wasn't that confident after recovering from major ankle injury. I threw em on yesterday and skated them for 4 hours, and I was super pleased. Great shoe, not too thin, not too bulky with great flexible ankle protection. Glad I decided to save them until now.

dude how's the sizing on those? are they TTS? i found some low/mid version of that in the internet and planning to buy it. do they stretch like janoskis?

Yeah they're definitely true to size, I wear a 10.5, these are 10.5s and fit perfectly. I never had Janoski's so I can't say for sure, but they were definitely a bit tighter when I first purchased them. I wore them around significantly before ever trying to skate them, so they broke in really nicely. Nice soft suede and the hi's have nice ankle support. Little less then a dunk, but not a thin wall by any means. It's a skinnier shoe too, good for people with slimmer feet such as myself. Hope this helps.

I hope you like them, I don't know how I feel about influencing people.

I have no idea how to review a shoe. One thing I can say is the tan ones I have make me feel like I'm wearing Timberlands.

Art - most definitely, will do. I will say right off the bat the sole on this one will never compare to the sole on the Howard. @Wizard - no worries. I had never seen them before you posted them, I loved the look of them. That said, do you have the actual boot with the Vibram sole? These have the cupsoles, but Emerica made an actual Laced High functional Boot with a Vibram sole that you can wear through snow and hiking.

Almost twins. Cool. Have the heelcups on yours completely crumbled yet? I'm looking forward to the updated version if they fixed that problem and threw in some better insoles.

I wanted the black/gum ones hella bad but the were sold out when I went to the shop. Nah the heel cups on mine are fine, and the collar or whatever never fucked up my heel either, which I think I've heard people complain about. However, the heel cups on my Laced Highs are completely crumbled, and it kinda felt like there was only half a plastic heel cub to begin with. I kinda like it though, it's like a moccasin with a sole.

I have these. I really like them for walking around, wearing at work etc.. But I have no idea how Leo, or anyone can skate them, especially if they are new. Really uncomfortable, and non*skate feeling out of the box. And the collar breaking in is a bitch.

Has anyone had a good experience with the emerica westgate shoe? How did the toe work out for you. I know there was a weartested review but I'm interested in hearing more opinions.

^ haven't skated them but I am familiar with the quality of the newer emericas (had 3 pairs of reynolds in a row) and have skated the BA's. Runner toes are actually really fucking good for tre's because I just aim to scrape the toe on the ground when I pop it and it scoops the board very nicely. also good for aiming the trajectory of your kickflip tricks too. Like I said i haven't skated em but have seen them in person and am pretty confident that its as good as its been made out to be.
