It has nothing to do with marketing. It's just the fact that there's a Zumiez in most malls.
And THAT'S where they went wrong, I'm guessing... In the beginning, Jamie stated that he wanted to keep it a core company. Apparently funds were hard, as they tend to be now, and he had to sell out a tad... but not horribly or anything. It just kind of sucks that annoying little kids, juggalos, and people who don't skate wear them.
Only my fav. metal band Bodom can do that, for obvious reasons...
(No they're not my favorite metal band because of Cole... I actually play guitar and Alexi is my biggest guitar hero, next to Brendon Small and Randy Rhoads.)
or maybe its because your fist has to first be purified in the waters of lake minnetonka before it can touch dylons.

Im pretty curious about how Fallen does in different areas. Seems like the only things skaters are buying at the shop im at is Nike or Vans, with the occasional emerica or adidas. Never Fallen. Anyone see it differently?

I see people skating fallens pretty often, but then again I'm also in Chris Cole-land.

Lucky. Definitely would rather live there. LOVE Park (even though it's a bust), countless more spots, way better skate parks, more skate shops, still on the East coast... I hate living in Maine. So much...

You'll see the occasional 13 - 16 year old wearing them around here but I NEVER have seen an adult skater in his 20's wear Fallen.
I'm 18 and skate 'em sometimes. Rival Lo-Fis, then a pair of snakeskin colorway Rippers, then the Trooper 5250s (Van Halen rules), then a a pair of half-used Rippers some chick gave me. Vans and Nike seem to be the most popular here as well. At least Vans is a good shoe. I think Nike is very overrated.
I've heard nothing but good things about the Forte for the most part, I'll have to give them and the Slash a try.

I've skated my fortes for like, 5 hours and they already have some really deep holes in the canvas.

Canvas sucks, anyway. Any model of shoe with canvas side panels is a no-go for me. I try to look for all suede, personally.
Are ALL the Fortes designed with canvas siding?

I've had plenty of long lasting canvas shoes. I think there are suede fortes.

The only thing, then, that's making me hesitant is their height. They don't look like they have much support for the ankles.
I might be wrong, though.

Guarantee it's better than being in a town that consists of around 2,000 people.

Calling someone mentally regular, even though he/she isn't, is making fun of the mentally challenged, which isn't exactly nice.

ive had a few pairs of fallens, both second hand and brand new and they never dissappointed me (im over 20 btw)
not sure if they really have the little kid rep everywhere that some people said they did.

i found the rising sun lo's and the chris cole rippers excellent shoes to skate in, broke in quick, good board feel and protection.
and plus they lasted longer than any pair of emericas ive ever had.

im comparing them to emericas cos ive found them to feel like similar shoes, maybe its just the models i had tho
I'm going to argue that Placebo owes their entire career to a Canadian dude's skate video part. Appleyard should be getting royalties for this shit.

Yeah, I really did like the Rippers I had, a lot. Pretty solid in every aspect.
I've only owned these Reynolds 3s, but they have better sole construction, but that's about it. And they're durable as fuck, too, but the soles wear out just as fast as the Rips.

^I thought Vans was the only good brand they carried, but the last time I looked at a catalog was about three years ago at a dentist's. They also have the Converse Black Flag line, as well as Dekline, including the collaboration with TM...I wonder if Ed knows about it.

weird, was skating these herman's today (now the sole is totally fucked) so my mate is giving me a pair of those reynolds 3's in red n black to skate in tomorrow, are they decent?
with these hermans (2) i had to put 2 insoles in cos they just felt really skinny for landing on
