Got some 1010s at the advice of the good homie. Havent skated em yet but man, these are comfortable. My right foot is perma swollen and due to arch injuries, the arch is dropped a bit lower than the L foot. I generally need to wear very flat shoes with minimal insole at the arch- calling blazer mids- but these 1010s may foot the bill. Usually wearing anything remotely like these, my hips and knees cant handle it. 4 days and 8 miles in, i feel good.
Hopefully i can skate in em
I've been on vulcs for a while. Intro to cups were the 440's. Tried the 808's and thats my limit. Skating the 1010's now. Boardfeel wise is a lot better than expected. Flick is not as grabby or grippy than the 440's. Slippery-er for lack of a better or real word. I have to put more foot on the board to get a good flick out of it. The biggest thing for me. Is the break in. The bend of the forefoot when taking it out of the box. It was stiff at first, but nothing like the 808. 808's is like a brick on your foot. I try to push in the 808's and no matter how i tie them they are slipping off my foot. With the 1010's, I would say 2 or 3 sessions to get them broken in and somewhat understand the flick.
I tried 440 and they were too narrow up right before the toe begins.
Actually just pushed about mile and a half w my dog on her harness and the 1010 felt really nice. Im not used to foot protection lol been mostly barefoot, flip flops, half cabs, blazers.
Other than day 1 w the higher mid foot/arch support in tye 1010, these, although not as dense or heavy, feel like a really good pair of boots, like some vasques or zamberlains. Need to loosen up but fit right right out the box
