[swagdragon123]

[flapJack]

Repost, but I got a pair if Howard boots as well.
Cant wait to skate them, and hopefully cop some more pairs

[heritage]

Hell yeah Flapjack! You're going to love them.

[Beer Keg Peg Leg]

damn i like that colorway but i wear brown pants all the time and dont wanna have some brown on brown action going down

Just finished skating the new Guy XLK. Should I stick with those or try out the new Vincet Alvarez, I've heard great things about them.

[Randozzi]

Two different shoes. The Vincent has a thicker sole and grips totally different. But not in a bad way. I went from the Guy XLK to the Vincent and after the first couple of sessions it felt normal. Can't go wring with either but if you want a thinner feel, stick with the Guy.

Been incredibly stoked on the Howards so I decided to try something else and went with the Marc. Another phenomenal shoe right out of the box. The vulc sole is grippy with great feel and it's definitely not a thin vulc.

The shoe is really beefy in spots without being bulky. Fits slim to your foot, just not as slim or snug as the Howard. I like the layered lace row design and the little features that make it a tech shoe without looking like a tech shoe. Now all that said, I can't decide if I am going to put them into my skate rotation or use them as a chill shoe.

try the vincet's they are probably one my favorite shoes Ive had in a long time. I'll be buying these for a long time

[heritage]

Just because.

[BALT]

lakai is the best shoe brand right now

[HASHTAG]

Here's two sneak peeks from the Lakai Fall 2014 catalog. I promise you, you'll be stoked on what Lakai is doing next year.

[sweat stains]

I will probably never skate a different shoe after that MJ model comes out, looks perfect.

[louie_bk]

Looks almost identical to the Dekline Mason. Gonna skate the spitfire collabs fur sure.

Yeah, hyped to try that one out.. Some really good colorways coming too

I was thinking Habitat Garcia and Fallen Curtin. I can't wait.

As long as they NEVER discontinue the Howard, I will forever be stoked on what they are doing. In any year.

After mulling over a ton of shoes, I've decided to stick to Lakai. Their quality is superb and they're skater owned. I bought the Carlos, the look and feel nice. They were also $50 for 2 pairs and I am jew with shoes, so hopefully they skate well.

[JerrySeinfeld]

I just bought the manchester lean, looks and feels good. Skated them for about a hour today. These are most likely the grippiest shoes I have ever skated. I'd get some more Lakai's after these, I like the fact its skater owned

I like the look of the Carlo. I've actually had my eye on those as a possible next shoe.

One thing I've noticed about Lakai's Spring '14 catalog is that they seem to be toning the logos down across the lineup. Their skate shoes are moving towards a more subtle and stylish aesthetic while not sacrificing any functionality. Honestly, when I am choosing a skate shoe I like something that is functional but something that doesn't *look* like a traditional skate shoe. Lakai crushes it in that way.

[Loose Trucks Saved My Life]

I've had the pre-XLK sole Telfords and they lasted me for a long time. The Manchester XLK is by far one of my favorite shoes of all time. Lasted me several months.

or the Vans Derby's

[micky682]

Do the Carlo's stretch or are they one of those shoes that are only for people with narrower feet. My feet are average width and my heels seem to slip on and off with every step. Then again I just got them, so...

[Turtle Boy]

Some question about the XLK sizing, is it the same as Lakai Vulcs?
I had the Marc, and I'm a fan, however I can only skate mids or high shoes, and the Lakai catalog lacks of choice for Mid models.
Really tempted by the Howard mid boot, but it's hard to find them around me. I have no idea about the sizing on XLK shoes and would love some feedback.

Has anyone tried the Telford XLK or the Telford Echelon? Really tempted to try those, but would like some feedback about sizing and stuff.

[tobal]

Howard XLK are true to size. The Howard desert boot is killing the shoe game. Really one of the best (im thru my third).
Thanks a lot Scott Johnston. Keep them coming !!!

[Berky]

really interested in getting the lakai marc. How do they fit? Also does anyone know where I could get the cashew color way for cheap.

[Randozzi]

They fit true to size, snug but not in a bad way.


Pretty stoked on these, the color in the photo is a little off. They are more olive then they appear here.
Something about the gum XLK sole is perfection.


Trunk Boys edition, minimal logos make them almost hard to spot.

Are the pico xlk thinner than the guy xlk?

[Randozzi]

No, a little bit thicker.

[b.v.]

I got black/gum picos and they run small for sure.
And I always get the same size for almost every brand.
