Reynolds G6
After a solid 4 year run, my stockpile of Reynolds Low ran out. So it's on to these.
Been skating this pair about 2 months now. Probably 20 sessions. They are holding up nicely.
They are very comparable to the lows, so it didn't take much getting used to.
Maybe a little tighter in the beginning. But I would not want to size up. I walked around in them at work for a week. But once I skated them, they broke in fast.
Just like the lows, that top metal eyelet results in instant broken laces. But I'm probably most to blame for that. I always shred the side/collar of my shoes. I think it's from all the wallride/wallie type tricks that I do so much.
I love having a toe piece again. I was the longest hold out years ago when everything starting going 1 piece toe. I thought about putting some glue on the stiches, but didn't. And they don't need it. I've already worn through the stitching and no flapping. It's all sealed in there. $80 skate shoes shouldn't need help, right? I'm sure I'll wear down the sole before ollie holes become an issue.
Already got another 4 pairs of these, assorted colors, waiting in the wings.
