The Dylan Mids just might be one of my favorite shoes of all time, I've bought too many pairs to count.

i wanna get some gravis particularly the dylan slip on in black suede, but i dont know how true to size they are, i normally wear a 9 in everything, but a 8.5 in eras/authentics, what would the right size be? or maybe i'll get janoski's, fuck.......
This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

I wear a 12 in sole tech shoes, but an 11.5 is what I buy when it comes to Gravis

i had a pair of those super tough filters or whatever, i could have skate them for a year and the toe piece would have never ripped, they skated great as well

Got the Dylan slip on.  Board feel is pretty good/comfortable, they are starting to rip a little bit though (i've had em a week now).  Overall though they're pretty sick..

Get an eight, the suede stretches a lot. They're tight for a day but fit a lot better once broken in.

i've had a coupe of filters, the tec tuffs are the shit and seem to last forever. the poron insoles are top notch.
they should make tec tuff laces.
[close]
They actually don't have poron insoles.It's a layer under the insole.
really? i've always thought the poron is the blue stuff the insoles are made of... but anyway, the shoes skate pretty good. i find it hard to change to a thicker shoe afterwards. i've had dylan slip ons, they fit so good that other shoes like my old filter felt pretty loose when i wore them afterwards, i was almost afraid to loose a shoe while pushing.

Really dig the Dylan slip ons. One of the better fitting shoes I've ever worn.

How hard is it to skate the suede Dylans? If I can get a pair for cheap, I've always wanted to try them.

Get them a half size smaller than Vans, they stretch a lot.

which ones, the grey ones or the black ones?

the black ones are fucking amazing skate shoes, end of. the grey ones are good BUT the sole is prety damn slippy, so id only skate the fancy dylans if i was doing small and reasonably easy stuff normally. they are stupidly comfortable though

Yeah, I meant the fancy ones. For some reason, they just look like they'd be fun to fuck around in.

they are, but i dont know why, shoes shouldnt make skating more fun but im down for it, i think its that they feel like a novelty like "i shouldnt be skating these"

so yeah theyre actually really good but the grip is a bit slippy for me (ive got jessops griptape too so maybe if you have MOB theyd be fine)

I have a pair of wax dylan mids but I probably won't ever skate them.  They're super narrow and my foot spills over the edge of the vulc

The Dylan dress shoes are dope, but I tried to kickflip in them but it was regular/weird feeling.

the artos are great - love the poron

dylan slips in suede = suede socks - my go-to shoe for almost everything casual

i can honestly say i've never owned anything by gravis nor anything under the analog umbrella for as long as i've been alive.
i don't think they're as prominent here as over in the west coast.

made the mistake of ordering the grey filters online. they said they were suede but turned out to be more like wet towel. why do skate shoe companies make shoes that you can't skate in? by the way, they completely blew out in two weeks time.

the filters were some of the most uncomfortable shoes i've ever owned. maybe i should've sized up but oh well. went through them in a couple of weeks.

last time i spend $80 for skate shoes.
