Post the shoes you're wearing.

[BraveUlysses]

I've always been really feeling the Busenitz but people on here started talking about how they had no grip and that made me hesitate about getting a pair. I might try em sometime soon anyway.

Decided to be serious about skating vegan shoes. Bought these today.

rad! get that shoe goo poppin. try to make use of any old leather or suede shoes if you have em and cut out pieces of suede from em to patch up the canvas

Some people (not you specifically) really trip on having vegan shoes but they're still from a Chinese factory paying shit wages and no benefits. No animals involved but it's still not completely "cruelty free."

[ollienorth]

comfy as hell, extremely classic-looking. really good flick too. they're kind of like an era pro pro

[chip delam]

just laced up some half cabs

[sufodiv]

Best shoe i've skated in a while.

I like them, they feel like a slightly thinner blazer

I'm not vegan but I try to stay away from animal products when I can for environmental reasons. Car farts are actually worse for the environment than cars 'cause we have so many of them for our McDoubles and suede sneakers.

The problem with near slave labor in china and shit is that if you boycott those products, it just puts people out of work, and with less money than they already have. From a humanitarian standpoint, I'd rather buy good made in China than the USA. Also, factories for US goods in China are supposed to have better conditions and pay than those of Chinese companies.

It's all fucked, but it's hard to remedy as a consumer.

i think 99% of people that are seeking vegan shoes are aware of this. i don't think any product is truly "cruelty free" but surely you can understand the reasoning for vegan/ vegos choosing no to wear leather on their feet.

I simply would like to skate without a cow on my foot.

[Front Crooks]

I have bought a lot of shoes over the past few months but always end up wearing these Cole Pro's the most.  I haven't really been a fan of DC since the late 90's, but after seeing them in my local shop I could tell I'd like the toe, the toe is much better than the Cole S, and even the Cole Lites.  I'm too lazy to take a pic but I plan to buy another pair since I've been skating mine. I'll probably buy Kalis' new shoe when it drops too. 

[brownjenkin]

i've said this so many times before, but this time i mean it, fuck every other shoe.



then some more




would love a pair of all black ones.

I'm skating a pair of all black ones right now. I bought them last year and was bummed after not liking them after my first couple of sessions. As someone mentioned above, the grip didn't feel right. Also, the arch in the insole felt high and kinda cramped my foot. I switched out the insoles for flat ones and I walked around in them for a couple of months, strictly as chilling shoes. I decided to give them a shot for skating again last week and I love them now. The grip feels awesome and the toe is magic. I would definitely buy another pair. I'll just break them in before skating them.

[Stoeipoes]

They skate good, and the material holds op way better than expected, but the sole profile is a total joke. It's really undeep and it's almost flat at one spot already and I didn't skate much in them.

[gnarwhale]

After savign up for awhie, i finnaly bought some koston 1s, feel like the need to be broken, skated a little and so far liking them, they better be worth the 90 bucks.....

Jesus...either you refuse to shop or around, or your local shop likes bending you over a barrel.

fuck, CCS has $15 off orders over $75

a couple colorways of the Koston are $69.99

You got had, bro. They better make you skate as well as Koston, otherwise they weren't worth it.

[b.v.]

Retail on Kostons is $85, maybe some shops have a sale color or two but if you wear between 9-10.5 usually it's tough to find something, unless it's a color you hate. And maybe he has a shop worth supporting and wanted to actually try a shoe on. Seems like such a foreign concept on here. Actually stepping foot in a business and walking out with product.

[BraveUlysses]

eyyy

I was checking out that colorway earlier today and thinking about how damn good it looked. If I had a top 5 dunk colorway list this colorway would be in there for sure.

[DaSk8D00D]

ayo victor aint nobody tryna see that same gif in every thread. also payin $90 for shoes aint shit when theyll last you longer than 2 pairs of $45 shoes

anyway these...

are fucking dope. i see you got yo kick game on point anti-hero

[Deekay]

Skating these right now... First time ive ever skated dunks.



Fuuuuck they feel good. The few times ive tried to skate cupsole shoes ive just changed to vulcs immediately, but with the dunks... They just feel really really good. I ordered another pair that should get here today, might be my new favorite skateshoe.

they sell for ?60 in the UK which is the equivalent of $95

[SwiftFootedBird]

had these low and currently another pair of cupsoles (isnt it like that when the sole is sewed?).

the low vulc barrios are awesome, but these midtop ones are more rigid or something and dont give me that much board feel. the cupsole ones are only worth for slick places or flatground since they barely grip.

looking forward to get some vulc fallens. tips/info?

[choke mayne]

does anyone know why the ipath artisans look pretty good on every website except for ccs where they are cheapest?

It looks like CCS used a photo of a smaller size shoe, which makes it seem bloated.

I've managed to stay away from Nike, but fuck those dunks are tempting.

i could only skate one shoe for the rest of my life itd be Dunks. they're right up there with the accel as the best cupsole shoes of all time IMO

For sure, im gonna go with dunks for a while now. I really like the extra protection too and the boardfeel is still supah good.

Just got these today, they feel different from the koston ones I posted. I thought the kostons was just a colorway.. Or was the kostons based on the "old" dunk or whatever?  They feel a little thinner and lighter, should be really good.

[bbk]

Found these on a deal that I couldn't pass up

dope as fuck

I had them and they have a square-ish/more sqaure shaped toe. it's not bad, just took some getting used to after just skating pointier shaped shoes.
