has anyone skated in the Adidas Alohas? comfy? wide-ish? comparable to ________ (i.e., Adidas Puig)?
I currently do. The shoe is super comfy, and i can fit my wide feet into them no problem. When first putting them on it feels like they are missing structural integrity but that is the part which makes them extremely comfy and non-comparable to other adidas models. I think you should go for it, in my opinion the best skate straight out the box shoe i ever had.
Proof:
Same here. From the start of the year I've skated three pairs. Can't see myself skating anything else. I'm really picky when it comes to shoes.
That description is pretty spot on. I find most shoes too narrow; the Alohas are the comfiest shoes I've had in a long time. You're right, you can't really compare them to any other Adidas model, I'll try though: they're like a wider, flatter, lighter Busenitz.
I haven't skated a cupsole since the Busenitz first came out. I thought I could only do vulcs until I tried the Alohas. The cupsole is super flexible and light. I love the broken in feel. Despite this, they are so damn durable. To test my first pair I skated almost everyday in them. They held up for 3 months and could've kept going. The only thing I can suggest is getting the colourways with the leather collar lining. For me they fit better and will not rip from heelflip tricks. Give them a shot.
