Considering some wino slip-ons. They seem like the only ones that have a suede area for heelflip stuff.

They look pretty cool but seemed kinda spendy for what they are.

After riding F4s for years and flatspotting a pair at the skatepark today (first time that ever happened with them), I decided to try STFs again and bought some 52s. I somehow look forward to the fast, slippery skating.
I’m thinking of buying some Polar slacks - surf pants and big boy jeans - but am a bit confused by the sizing. I’ll have to order them online and won’t be able to try them on as my nearest skate shop is a five hour drive away. I’m a size 34 waist. Would the mediums be the right choice? Or large?I know they have the sizing diagrams on their website but I’m an idiot and I don’t wanna fuck up this purchase.

Mayble I'll just opt for some vans slip onsI had the white Provost ones and they’re probably the worst shoe I’ve ever skated.The elastic band completely gave out in less than a week making them feel flimsy and unstable. I was bummed but figured I could at least chill in them at my office job or something. Apparently that was too much to expect because it didn’t take long for the inside lining to literally start crumbling and coming apart from the inside. All from just walking around.

Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.
I saw Spencer Hamilton's pro Supra shoe, the Elevate, in person recently. White with gum sole. I have to say, it's a good-looking shoe. Might buy it in the future.

Hmmm. Maybe mine were a defect then. Either way it’s probably too late for me to inquire about them. Still, even at their best I feel like they can’t compete with Slip On Pros in terms of slip ons.

If you want a marginally more conservative fit but still real baggy, then the 93 jeans are really good.

Has anyone skated the Cons Breakpoints or Checkpoints? I like how they look and I love how Cons skate, but their sizing stresses me out. https://www.tactics.com/converse/checkpoint-pro-skate-shoes/black-white-whitehttps://www.tactics.com/converse/breakpoint-pro-skate-shoes/black-white-black
