Speaking of the 306 -- tell me about it, the good, the bad and the ugly? Been a cupsole guy for so long and as I've loved the NB# cups I might as well give their vulcs a try.
They’re really good. I have been a cupsole dude for the last several years, and was convinced I’d never skate a vulc again. I skated the 306s for about the last year (multiple pairs of course), and just recently went back to a cupsole for a bit to see if the shoes were the source of a leg problem I was having. I don’t think it was the shoes.
The 306s aren’t full of cushion by any stretch, and they are worlds different than the 1010s, but I’ve been skating these 1010s for the last three weeks and I’m still wondering if I should go back to the 306s.
306s have really good board feel, but still managed to not really hurt my feet after going from an emerica g6 cupsole to them. They’re one of the most durable uppers I’ve skated, and I have several more pairs to skate in the future. I’m a big fan of the shape of the shoe. It has a nice round toe, and as someone with a little wider foot, I like that extra toe room.
Overall, they’re dope. Give them a try. They’re durable, tts, and they look nice too.
