Glad this thread popped up again.
After skating some DC Smith's I determined that a mid won;'t fuck with my trick selection and really liked the added snakebite and ankle bone protection (when I ollie over tall shit I usually wreck my lead foot's ankle area).
Skated some low States, first week in them I get a wicked snakebite, rip my ankle AND fuck up the ball of my left foot due to impact (even with FP insoles).
Thing is, I still can't find a good mid cup AND one that has a wide toe box :\
