Has anyone actually skated the Dylan dress shoes, if so how were they?

I would not recommend them. I own two pairs and skated one once. They flick and grip the board find, but the flex and durability isn't meant for skating. It's not that the shoe is stiff, just doesn't flex like a normal shoe. If you like the look of the dress shoe, check out the Dylan vulcs.

[petkom]

By the way what are the new colorways of the Dylan coming out?

[Magic Lantern]

I got a pair of the Dylan slip ons the other day. Quite comfortable and will most likely purchase again.

[magicstickyhand]

Does anyone know do these shoes hold up good , or get fucked in 2 or 3 sesh?

[slappyslap]

^^i had those in black and i've skated with it for almost 2 months

[finknoos]

im not sure but they looked like the waxed canvas ones, if they are... prepare to have a hole after half an hour

I bought the dress shoe Dylans for work and the sole started to fall off after 2 days. I work in a hotel and don't do shit, so I was kind of bummed that my $100 shoes were falling apart after 2 days and no skating. I fixed them with super glue, but I still feel like I shouldn't have had to.

same thing happened to me. I wear the oxblood ones whenever i get groceries or go bar-hopping. Besides a few pushes on a board, i haven't really skated in em.

You got a messed up shoe. I have two pairs and no problems. I suggest geting in contact with Gravis. I'm sure they'll do something.

yeah ive got the grey suede ones and started skating in them, to be honest i love them. they skate really well and look even better when thrashed, the only negative point i could say about them is the complete lack of ankle support, but i gotta skate with ankle protectors anyways.

also one thing that i need to say because i found it really funny is this...

loads of people saying this shoe is not made for skating, then i see all the adds and reviews for the nike zoom fp and saying theyre the most amazing shoes ever and "you can do tricks you cant do in other skate shoes" but the dylans skate sooooo much better and are way more comfy

[Davy]

I have a chance to get the Oxblood Dylan's but I'm not completely sold. To any one who has had em, opinions or regrets or anything?

[oyolar]

Haven't skated my pair, but I love them. They're super comfy and look awesome.

[Liam Baker]

I got the Dylan In black suede in Early september and I still skate in them now. super cozy, and they just really rule. I would highly suggest them if you can find them

[ivegotlevitation]

Does anyone know how the sizing is on the Dylan dress shoes? I wear a 10 in Vans eras/authentics/slip ons and I don't know whether to buy the same size or go down a size.

[Donkey Lips]

I wear 10s in everything. I got 10 for the pairs of Dylans I've had. Fit fine.

On the note of wearing them skating - I just don't. I wore the brown suedes to skate for a few days. They just didn't feel like a skate shoe. That's fine though - because they feel great as a "chiller" boot or shoe or whatever. Black leathers for work. Brown suedes for around the house. Probably the best fitting shoe I've owned, but I don't like it for  skating.

The dress shoe Dylan's? They're horrible. I'm skating a pair of the black suede ones (they look ugly and I bought a black leather pair). Surprisingly the shoe is durable but the grip and flex is the worst. It's too grippy and the shoe only flexes in one area. Not to mention the soles are not meant for skating, too hard.

Nah i meant the vulc ones, ive skated the dressy ones and find it weird everyone says the sole is too grippy because that was my main problem, the sole on my dressy ones are slippy as fuck. except from that i just feel stupid skating the dressy ones. The vulc ones however are probably my favourite skate shoe of 2011, along with the vans rowley svp's

thanks for the sizing info. I found a pair of the original grey leather ones on ebay super cheap and just got them.

[jerrys_kids]

My Dylan slip on fit kinda weird, they felt to short, not length wise but like my toes were going to come through the top of the shoe, that may just be me though.

Not the vulcs, the booty/dress-shoe kind. I'm sure the vulcs are good, I just haven't gotten a pair of those to try yet. They look good for skating. But the sole on the dress shoe just isn't meant for skating. I hope nobody at Gravis takes offense to that though, because these are my favorite shoes off the board.

[SecretShake]

i've skated filters back to back for the passed 6 months, such a rad shoe, the TT's last forever, the sole went through before the TT material. the dylan mids are really good too.
got a pair of the black leather dylans to chill, so comfortable, had a pair of the vulc dylans too but they felt too big so i sold them on.

[Rumpleforeskin]
