epsom salts do nothing below the skin


(edit: whoever said the slimmed-down Lynx's were dope is 100% correct, they fit really good and skated well. I am wearing the DC x Cyrcle ones right now and use them when i need a comfortable pair of shoes to walk in) OG's are still comfy as fuck (certain ones are better than others (different tongue thickness etc))  the new LYNX Zero isnt that great of a skate shoe.

Ok so I'm sure there's a thread on this but what's the most comfortable skate shoe ? I would have thought Tiagos but seems that people are saying they're not.

Most comfy shoes I had were the Herman G6’s when those first came out. Great shoe to skate in too. I used to get Wennings in middleschool and those were also very comfortable and skated great but I cannot even try to pull the baggy DC look these days. Y’all look silly lmao

Ordered the wenning Lynx a while back cause the colorway was sick and they were comfortable as hell, but I couldnt walk outside in them because they looked like Sky Davis Air Jets.

The neckface/heroin skateboards super graphic gore art style that seems to gain traction atm is situational and looks like shit most of the time. Please do not tattoo that sort of piece on your body as well, thank you.

Jeremy klein board art is nasty, I don’t want to see hentai on someone else’s board when I skate my local, same goes for the edgy supreme pieces with porn printed all over.

I’m an art student and an argumentative dickhead, I wager that’s a big factor in my dislike of “messy” and lewd manga illustrations. I keep it to myself though, I’ve got enough self awareness not to clown people for their tastes in art and clothes, because I dress like a bum  :D

I just watched goldfish and mouse yesterday and thought how were these ever even considered good. Bunch of dickheads skating 2 and 3 stairs and barely sliding 2 inches of the lowest benches ever.

1/2 of their team during the golden days was pure bloat. I think they just had boards so that shops always had a Crail deck on the wall even if it was one of the riders you always fast forwarded through

I hate the dunk craze and can't wait for it to die. If this is what you have to go through just to get a pair of fucking skate shoes, just do first come first serve in store only and you solve the problem. Don't make any special announcements, just put the shoe on the rack like any other shoe and be done with it.

I really don't get the dunks thing either. They don't even skate that good. Plus whenever I see someone wearing them instead of thinking it's cool they got them I get second hand embarrassment knowing they jumped thru hoops like a dweeb.

I got two dead stock pairs for 180€ on Vinted meanwhile these guys have to donate an entire skateboard and pay over a hundred bucks. I’m sorry but anyone falling for this is an idiot

Edit: don’t wanna feed the virtue signalling post below and derail so I’ll correct my original post. First, I never had the intention of bragging about my spending, I should have worded this better to be fair, I only meant you can buy dunks for cheap on second hand platforms, used or dead stock in my case. I personally don’t give a shit about Nike or how dunk looks, I just like them because they have uniform padding, a wide toe box and are cup soles. I would love to support a brand making similar shoes in actual reputable factories that pay their adult, not children, workers fairly. Something tells me you don’t have any answers and just typed out yet another post shitting on dunks because of some vague moral standard even though whichever brand you skate most likely produces their shoes in sweatshops too. We’re all consumer cattle by the way, every single thing you buy has a negative impact on something or someone you elitist cunt, don’t act like you’re above the rest. And yeah I’m an idiot, everyone in this site is, we’re all someone else’s idiot.
Now please do post actual brands making shoes similar to dunks without the nasty package, I’m tired of looking around for a replacement

Anyone roving the internet’s in order to proudly display that they have fallen for the big-budget marketing and are unabashedly  sucking corporate cock for over-hyped sweatshop footwear is not one to be making fun of others mental prowess.

I just want to clarify from my post that I wasn't in anyway talking shit on dunks or people who buy and skate dunks. I'm just pointing out that this is such a shitty practice that skate shop owners deem reasonable for us the consumer to buy a pair of shoes. I like dunks, but refuse to shell out to scalpers or "donate" my whole complete set up to shell out even more money to buy a pair of shoes.

So, I’m supposed to read your post, you respond in your edit, and then get blamed for not reading the edit before I posted?
