Just got the 288s last night, and it's probably the best NB shoe I've skated(it should be said I only skated in them for about 20 minutes but I got a feeling). My previous favorite was the 533 but those weren't always the best for chilling as the support they offer when skating didn't always translate well to just walk around shoes. 288s felt great right out of the box, really looking forward to skating them some more. On a side note...they kind of remind me of a slimmed down version of the Emerica MJ 1's from way back when.

Olympic athletes have diets and train really hard. Skateboarders eat candy, talk shit, and drink arizona iced teas.

while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo
D3s and mongo? It's over.

Quote from: Bubblegum Tate on November 29, 2019, 06:57:34 PMExpand Quote[close]That was fucking sick. I picked up the black/gum Foys today and they're essentially an updated, more expensive version of the 255s. They fit absolutely true to size. Not going to be able to skate them until the days get a bit longer, though they felt pretty good taking out the recycling.

The Westgates provide stability in the heel and support through the upper to a fault, whereby they're too stiff. The Foys offer superior board feel and seem to build from the 255s with thicker tread, and the promise of better durability.Hope that's overkill on your question.
