Any word on when the Telford gonna release

I think in January. 3 colors.

Not feeling the tech Vans.

The Berle was kind of a miss for me because of the rubber toe but when I see them in person they don't look that bad I guess. Just not a fan of skating with a rubber toe.

Rowan's are probably the only new shoe from Vans I'd consider skating as it's basically a low top cab.

Wish they'd do more seamless shoes like the collab they did with Noah

The AVE looks great but is too pricy for me. I'm a big fan of the berle due to the increased sole durability but if it did not have that toe cap it would be the perfect shoe for me. The Rowans are a pretty solid shoe I skated and liked a pair

Another CTAS knock-off from DC. I back them, hope there's gonna be a hi-top too. Also love the fact I'm gonna be the only one wearing these.

I'm not trying to wear yellow brunch boots, but at the same time, I don't hate a brand doing something other than knocking-off the same three or four types of silhouettes over and over again.

So they tested the toecap market with the TFunk, kicked him off, then made his shoe better?

he left mutually. apparently he was never happy with his shoe even though he did all the sampling, threw some big hissy fit at the release. seems like a basket case.

I think Emerica made a Romero Chelsea boot and some Heath motorcycle themed hi top slip or something and everyone creamed their pants?

[burm]

I feel like they could have easily made the black parts rubber or some other ”vegan” option instead of leather and it would have been more interesting. Maybe the colorway reminded me of Nyjahs... kinda tempted still though...

The operative words there are "Heath" & "Romero", and they didn't look like hot garbage (like the Nike's & these Riley's)

I can’t skate mid-tops as they tend to strain my Achilles, but State’s Chelsea boot slip on from a while back looked solid.

My little sister got me those horrible janoski boots and I couldn’t deal with them and returned them. Such a stupid idea for a shoe no matter who makes them.

If you want a boot buy a real boot. These half measures are embarrassing.

Edit: typo

They aren’t my style of shoes either but they look like totally normal decent skate shoes to me, I like them fine enough.
They also look cooler than most Vans to me.

I think the problem with those Riley boots is that vertical seam on the heel/ankle. The Romero Chelsea boots (which I have a pair of and I remember being well-liked on here when they came out) uses elastic at the ankles so it looks a little cleaner on the sidewalls. Most (maybe all?) of the Romero boots were part of the Reserve collection and used high quality leather which I think made a big difference in how much people liked them.

The Shifter too looked a lot better when it was released through the Reserve collection too if I remember correctly.

[iwishilivedinfinla]

I think the problem with those Riley boots is that they're Lakais

[Diocletian]

Blundstone boot looking skate shoes are bizarre. I'll stick with Lakai Owens
