I can't believe I got both of 'em for $10 at a thrift store. They were dirty but a little cleaning did 'em good. Gotta love people that don't skate! They keep skate shoes in decent shape.

i love looking at thrift stores for this shit

besides one pair of janoskis a couple years ago, I've never been able to find skate shoes at my local thrift shop. I'm still hopeful every time though.

i know, same here.  The thing is all the shoes that would be decent to skate have been circas and vans but theyre all in size 13. The only pairs of skate shoes ranging in the 9-10 range have, and i shit you not, been lakai primos.  I have seen those mother fuckers in just about every style that dropped.  This has just been since i moved to chicago tho
would you rather read an abudabi post or have a screwdriver shoved up your ass?

The trick is to hit up thrift stores near a college. I've found pairs of vans and SB's before.

nothing's been the since same

Yeah, those Hammers look killer Tate. Be interested to hear how they skate for you. That's a nice looking package they hooked you up with.

Supra has introduced many clean designs over the last year, I'm not at all opposed to giving them a serious look.

They're pretty sick.  The more worn they get the better they will look.

Yeah, I like the hammers. Been wearing them around to break them in. They must skate good, all the Surpa riders on Instagram are skating in them.

If you want to try a supra shoe, try the Ellington. They are sick and lasted me a while.

Tying to find a hi or mid with good impact protection/arch support. I love lows, but too many rolled ankles got me shook. Been in some sk8 his and cabs lately cuz I got them for free but my feet are fried after a good evening session, and I think I'm developing tendonitis in my lead foot.  Dunno if I can do the vans vulc soles any more.

They skate great, I had Ellington's basketball influenced shoe and a pair of the pistols. The soles tend to go bald kinda quick, but they still grip ok, the materials feel really good.

Anybody try these? I'm preparing for a brutal Korean winter. I'm a Floridian with no experience in skating cold weather.

Are they worth 95$? I don't really trust suede to be snow proof.

if youre looking for something you can skate and wear in this snow this is a good option but if your just looking for something to wear just get some real like snow shoes

I have them too, the sizing is like the pro's. Theres not alot thats confusing about vans sizing... All shoes with removable insoles etc are sized like pro's and all the classics like... well, classics.

The only shoe Ive had that differ are the stage 4's with the wafflecup sole, they fit like classics basically

Just got these. So nice after Vulc.

Dunks are so good for skating in.

And these too, for $40


Seem pretty decent.

$10 brand new off of craigslist. Got some new shoes and didn't even get stabbed.
