Im curious to know what models people are into, and especially recent models. What has performed the best for you?

I had some era pros that were outstanding. Haven't had anything nearly as good lately.

Lucas' Adidas shoe is probably the best shoe I've ever skated.

The Marc's. Been skating them for a few months now. No holes, still holding up.

P-Rod 7's by far. I've skated other shit in the meantime but I always go back to these. Exceptional durability & comfort, lunarlon midsole for taking impact, plus they look good on your feet. not much else I can ask for out of a shoe outside of making a mid top version. I've skated the red ones, black ones, currently skating the grey tiger print ones, and will be skating either another black pair or the BReds after that. I got the white ones on deck just to chill in as well.

Really amazing shoes, They surprisingly lasted longer than any shoe I've had in recent memory including the G6 and the Alvarez. I have a pair with the rubber toe that I'm looking forward to skating.

I have skated a ton of different shoes (mostly mids) and without any hesitation whatsoever my 3 favorite of the past year have been:

Lakai Howard - Lo and Desert Boot. The XLK sole has to be one of the best (if not the best) sole on the market. The Lo is designed to fit snug to your foot, and the boardfeel is second to none. I don't think some vulc shoes feel this good.

Habitat Guru Hi. Vulc with outstanding feel, durability and functionality. The aesthetic of the shoe may not be for everyone, but it's a killer shoe.

Nike Hybred Boot - One of the most slept on. Koston 1 outsole, excellent comfort and durability.

All have been a perfect mix of fit, functionality and durability...I've purchased multiple pairs of each because I've liked them so much.

Of course it's all subjective, you're going to get many different answers in this thread.

emerica g6's. these reynolds are great now, but took a while to break in.

KA-II - of all the cupsoles that say "the boardfeel of a vulc" this one actually does.

Adidas Buz ADV

Adidas Lucas - insane light and the sprint skin makes them thin, breathable, but doesnt blow out

fulfillthedream · « **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2013, 09:53:18 PM »

prod 7's. i hate vucls so this works really well for me. the way the sole feels against my arch also helps. i wore em for about 2 months before skating them and their pretty awesome. i really wanna try the G6's or some of the newer DC models. im glad there a lot of cupsoles available now.

pizzafliptofakie · « **Reply #14 on:** October 28, 2013, 11:18:51 PM »

My Emerica Provosts ruled. Was a fan of my Busenitz vulcs as well, even though the grip didn't seem to last as long.

these guys, couldnt find a koston 1 colourway I liked so I bit the bullet, glad I did

Mat · « **Reply #16 on:** October 29, 2013, 12:05:43 AM »

got a pair of the navy blue old schools from no comply and they are the bee's knees. They're not old school pros, just straight up old schools in all suede. Love em, never had a pair before, but I am going to buy another, can't beat em so far

Filip · « **Reply #17 on:** October 29, 2013, 12:40:03 AM »

Lakai Belmonts XLK, seriously the best fucking shoe. Ive been skating my pair for so long, and they didnt get floppy, suede and sole last forever, and the shape is great too.. And they dont hurt my feet. Lakai FTW

Me too, I wanted a cupsole because I'm having a little foot trouble and these are great. Other than that old skool pros and Era's.

The proper sb Blazer not the new one. Last for ages, perfect board feel

Noble Experiment · « **Reply #22 on:** October 29, 2013, 04:52:46 AM »

I know the reactions for them are mixed, but i loved my pair of Chima pros. They lasted me for a good while. Other than those, the Linderos were some of the best shoes I've had in a while. I had a couple pairs of those.

lakai alvarez

Best shoes ever. I wonder if they're selling well thou, havn't seen too many people wearing them, and all colors seem to be on sale on ccs at least.

These are the most solid vulcs I've skated, but could've had better grip

bbk · « **Reply #25 on:** October 29, 2013, 06:52:40 AM »

do you size down your lucas? I really want to try them but i only skate shoes with a super snug fit, the toebox is way too roomy in my normal size, but half size down felt a tiny bit short

Morty Seinfeld · « **Reply #26 on:** October 29, 2013, 06:57:40 AM »

All of the Hufs I've had recently. Choices, Peppers, and Mortons.

The first batch of lakai griffin from spring 13! the changed them slightly for fall and now the don't fit as good, might give them a go anyway because the green/blue I had were amazing

DJSoftspot · « **Reply #28 on:** October 29, 2013, 07:14:37 AM »

Really bummin on my Lucas shoes. I ordered my normal size nine and the heel is constantly slipping on them, no matter how tight I tie them.

Definitely get a half size down who ever asked

But I do live in Korea and some shoe sizes are fucked

i think its just a wider fitting shoe in the front. mine are the same way. i got use to it, but i dont like a super narrow shoe.
