best shoes

[Kristi Yamaguchi]

Fallen Chiefs and Vans classic slip ons are the best shoes I've ever skated.

[Human Onion]

I really liked skating the dr j's in the mid 90s. Don't know about best shoe ever, but they were good. Cons should rerelease them.

hate on wearing a shoe from a company owned by ellington and penny, i severley hope not!!

Supra is owned by some dude named Angel and 2 other guys. He used to own TSA.

I could go on forever about my favorite shoes from the past but my pick currently would have to be these.

I fucking love the G-Codes. Great fit, great flick, very comfortable, great insole, protects your feet pretty well, damn good durability...the only thing you have to watch out for is the fact that the grip wears flat relatively fast. Mine are flat from shimmying my foot too much, but they still grip fine. Plus, the laces are so high up you really don't have to worry about blowing through laces. Big fan.

the first time i ever wore g-codes i broke my ankle, not at-all blaming it on the shoe but because of that i cant wear them anymore - like a mental block

damn dude, that sucks! yeah I meant more like protects the bottoms of your feet, my feet aren't super sore after a long session in these. the ankle support is pretty much nonexistent. totally understandable mental block though haha.

there is no other answer.  this is all i've skated since 2007 and i won't be changing that anytime soon.  got almost 4 months out of my last ones, and they were good to the last day. 

I love this shoe aswell, only thing is that the sole gets a bit thin and floppy before the toe blows out. by long not as fast as other vulcanized shoes but i switched to blazer mids with the cupsole. perfect.

  [...] but i switched to blazer mids with the cupsole. perfect.

I'm interested in knowing more about those:
- How is the ankle supporting?
- Are they easy to break in?
- Would I be able to remove the swooshes efficiently?

Ankle support is good. My ankles arent something to be proud about, but they hold up.

breaking in is easy for a cupsole shoe

dunno about the last one

[dankradschwag]

in that color, too

I found that exact pair in a thrift store near my house in my size for $2.99. Best deal of my life.

One of the many es' circa 2000 models, preferably  ones named after machinery like the "cyber"...any shoe that makes your feet look like teched out rhino hooves
