Journey's has Globe and C1RCA too.

They also seem to only have either really obnoxious neon colors or all black all white shoes. And dont get me started on Zumiez. I went there because i needed bearings and they were the closer shop. The guy working there asked if i skate. insert "heres your sign" joke. I didnt end up buying them either.

But back on topic, i had a pair of the original rivals with the airbag and strap. Really good shoe but never got around to trying any others. The Fortes always look good, heard great things about the chiefs, and i still regret not getting some scouts:


The thing I like most about fallen from day one is the ads with skated shoes. Its like weartested and ripped laces without the words. Looks like one harsh session with a shoe and a pro.

Yeah that always intrigued me in how they do their ads. Makes it seem more authentic, if that makes any sense.
I had the Lo-Fi Rivals, too. They were my first Fallens. Not so much on the board feel side, but definitely protected my feet for sure.
Never tried the Chiefs, Fortes, or Scouts.
Osiris is fucking lame now for putting out all those weird spaceboot looking neon shoes, especially in Journeys and Zumiez.

you know what as far as im concerned those are just as good as any other brand out there right now... its just something about the whole image of the company that i could never get into. just like circa. i remember when i was younger i was into basically every skate company... but for some reason when circa came out i immediately dismissed them as wack shoes cause of all the weird camo gear adn shit. and i am the biggest muska fan ever. i dont know certain companies used to do it for me, i just like the generic brands now because i feel like im not paying for an image or label or whatever.

I can see where you're coming from with that. For me, that company would be something like Lakai. Shoes tear up super fast, every skater that I've met that wears them has this weird, stuck-up attitude and only does tech ledge tricks (Except for one dude), and their designs just don't appeal to me. They might work for some people but I don't think I'd like them at all.
I'll stick with Fallen, Vans, and Emerica.

You hate Lakai because the people who are dicks to you wear them? Any pair of Lakai had longer-lasting outsoles than any pair of Emerica...

I really dig the Fallen ads also, but don't plan on buying any soon...haven't tried Picos yet.

Those weird Osiris neon UGGs are pretty popular. Pretty much any dude on campus without Jordans has a pair of those. But, aren't they BMX shoes or some shit?

I've always heard opposite of their shoe durability. Oh well.
And no, they aren't dicks to me, it's just the vibe they seem to carry. I'm not even generalizing, I'm going off of genuine experience.

I'd tap the one with those UGG boots for sure, given she's at least 16. Awesome GIF, though.

Fallen has broadened their color spectrum in shoes, and Mystery has Color Theory now...
Ironically, none of the riders on Mystery are even close to "emo". No one on a Black Box team is. Emo kids don't skate. They're the kids that cry in the corner of the park because they fell down. Skating in itself is an activity that embodies everything "emo" ISN'T haha.

Yeah it wasn't too bad. I've tweaked it the same way in the same spot for like the 3rd time in 3 months and it's getting annoying. My fault though, not properly landing. The first night I couldn't walk without limping but the next day was good with some ice and heat. But I still don't wanna accidentally re-injure it this early in its recovery. It's funny too cause I'm totally not one of those people that are douchebags about their shoes and don't tie them tight and try to look all fresh and chill and ends up breaking an ankle. I tied them properly.

Yeah but on the bright side, it actually strengthens the muscles and tendons over time, from the stretching and use. Down the road, it might actually be harder to sprain. I've heard of this happening before.

Seems to be the most liked shoe so far that Fallen has, here on Slap. I'll probably give them a try, then. Definitely mids though, the low version looks too low.

Got a pair of Fortes last week, and I like them. Didnt need to break them in at all. And for the material they are, im surprised they are holding up. But they are really low and I fuck up my ankle every time I go to the skatepark.

I prefer Slash's shoe, but the Forte is usually $45 or $55, instead of $60ish.
