What shoes are you skating at the moment? Having a shoe crisis
I've been skating the #NB 272 synthetics. They're comfy and protective, although the stock insole is terrible. So I swapped 'em out for some eS STI insoles.
Before I was skating the Nyjah 3's, they're 25-35 euros here. I'd take a utility knife and scrap off the Nike logos and paint over the Nyjah branding. Not a dig toward Nike or Nyjah, just felt it looked lame. I like the longevity and board feel of the Nyjah's, unfortunately, the porpoise-like toe cap started to inflame the toes on my reg pushing foot. Andrew Cannon had the same issue with the Nyjah's and had toe surgery.
It feels like vegan options are dire these days. I have two pairs of the synth 272's left, then I don't know what I'm going to do, the supply is dwindling and they're now almost 100€ a pair.
