but for real though, i was looking for something like what youre asking but most of the cupsoles im finding are kinda bleh, i would try the accel mid but the front is too thin like sb dunks, i blame hipsters for lack of cupsoles

sigh...

Reynolds Mids if you can find them on clearance/discount...worth $90 considering how durable they are.

dunks.

Been hunting for a good mid, that's an actual real mid, not a below the ankle bone mid as I need ankle bone coverage but don't need/want a hi. Cons one stars look to be the right height, vans mids too but there has to be more out there.
I'd have jumped on the Smith DC but it's all canvas.

They are a hair lower too.....I skate Huf classics too and they are a proper height....

the busenitz mids are incredible.

Yah I'd say if you see em buy two pairs.....don't think they'll ever come back....
-
Cons Pro leather mid. I've had several pairs and really like them, I even found a few pairs at the cons outlet recently for $25. Just a heads up though they run a bad size to full size up so if you wear a 10 buy a 9.5 or 9.

Out of these shoes I've skated the dunks, Ellingtons, and crocketts. Dunks are dunks you know what you're getting but the ankle cut on the Ellington is super low, I would barely call it a mid. Crocketts are NOT cupsoles idk if vans has changed the wafflecup formula with their new models but I have the crockett mids and those shits are more like a thick vulc in the heel than they are cupsole. Decent shoe but cushioning is weak if you're actually used to skating cupsoles.
Reynolds mid is great too tho I skated like 3 pairs in a row when they first came out I think I even did a review on them. Super durable and solid cushioning. A little thicker in the forefoot than the other shoes including dunks but that's not neccessarily a bad thing once you break them in and get used to them.
Im currently skating some P.Rod 7 HI's which are great but getting harder and harder to find
-
Are dunk mids officially out of the picture??? Those were the cleanest best cupsole mids I ever skated..... Nike really destroyed and butchered the dunk. The new lows look freaking AWFUL and the highs werent the best shoe to skate in really..... I guess RIP dunks....
In other news the Accel OGs are everywhere and pretty easy to find cheap. Best cupsole ever made EVER but I cant speak for the midtop.
-
does Lakai still make the Telford?
-
I've mentioned this before but I just ponied up and got a good pair of sports orthotics and now can skate a vulc....opened my range up considerably....

-
They put support in the right places and add rigidity into the shoe making it just enough for my feet to handle....I can skate a chuck or a blazer....huf classic etc.....they are like $250.00 but I can switch em around into other shoes.

You're right. I thought G6 was emerica's cupsole stuff and the pics of the bottom of the sole didn't look vulcanized.

There are some shitty, thin cupsoles out there, so just be weary. I ended up with a pair of Remind Medic insoles, they're incredible. I tried a bunch of FP's and didn't like them. These Reminds though, super supportive, no need to bake, etc...

The heel is a cupsole, the forefoot is vulc. It really is a true hybrid.

I don't even consider the zero midsole cupsoles (Koston, Bruin Hyperfeel, Weapon, Suciu, etc.) to be true cupsoles. No amount of insole jiggering makes them any better because they rely on an oversized insole to do the duty of the midsole.

In what shoes do you skate them then?
I'm on a streak of Sucius right now, they are ok when my feet aren't on crisis mode (plantar fasciitis symptoms for well over a year, but none of the medical exams show anything..., it's a fucking nightmare i wouldn't even wish on my worst enemy).
I'm sure there are better options out there but kinda tired of wasting money aimlessly on this as nothing has been effective so far.

I've got them in some regular old half cabs. Had to scrape out the original insole though. Was having pain in my left foot, felt like it was getting wider, if that mades sense. Talked to my doctor, he said my arches were falling due to age and wearing shitty, unsupportive shoes for years. The reminds aren't pillowy by any means, but they're supportive as hell.

Is that a mad typo or are you talking about some crazy "foreign" (aka non-US) currency? Is that cheap if it's the case?
Also I'm eager to see those Proper shoes out.

It's an estimate...I'm in Canada where they can be more. A private health plan may cover em...ie. Mine....but they are custom and hard plastic so not the same as a skate insole....

Alright, thanks for the info mate.
I don't really like, nor see the point in this new trend of gluing the insoles (btw, do all sole tech shoes have this now?).
Not sure your shoe setup would be for me from what you're saying, but I might try it at some point, nothing to lose. And coming back on something a little more skater owned than big corp would be a nice plus.

People keep mentioning the busenitz mid but I'm pretty sure they quit making those so if you want some and you find them I'd snatch them up.

puma basket and suede mids skate fucking great and you could find them for <$30. I'd also suggest adidas pro models or fila f-13's or some shit whatever do what you want

Cupsole, one piece toe, a little puff to protect the goddam ankle bone I keep bashing with my deck trying to relearn backside flips....
They're on the "skateboarding" section of DC's website, but I can't find any reviews or any skate retailers selling them. Really like my Tiago's, so I might give them a try.
-
Are there any good mid top cupsoles out this time of year? I ran with the Accel mids last summer which served me well (w/ some insoles), but theres not too many other mids out there that seem decent enough to be a go-to.
-
Converse fastbreak mid is a pretty solid shoe. You can find a few good deals floating around.
-
Glad this thread popped up again.
After skating some DC Smith's I determined that a mid won;'t fuck with my trick selection and really liked the added snakebite and ankle bone protection (when I ollie over tall shit I usually wreck my lead foot's ankle area).
Skated some low States, first week in them I get a wicked snakebite, rip my ankle AND fuck up the ball of my left foot due to impact (even with FP insoles).
Thing is, I still can't find a good mid cup AND one that has a wide toe box :\

If they came in anything other than white on white and for ~$75 I might try but with that colorway and price I'm not dipping on a new-to-me shoe co.

Do tell! I can't seem to find any of the suede versions for less than $90 (Daddies is have %20 off which helps but still not cheap enough :)
Vans needs to bring back the crocket Mid (I can't find any in my size) or make the sk8 mid pro AND 112 in wafflecup.

I'd recommend to get the regular fastbreaks (non-skate), they come with a thinner lunarlon insole, and can be found cheaper, depending on the website. Perfect mid top cupsole (like the reynolds, but a little thinner)

I just got my normal size and while they have some wiggle room in the toe, I don't think I could wear a half size down like I do with CTAS. Got the same size I'd get in Nikes, Emericas, and Vans.

Update on those mysterious DCs. On the feet, pretty comfy, don’t look to Skytopish if you lace them all the way up. I think they’ll be decent. Tried to upload a photo but slap can only handle 192 KB because it’s 1997 apparently.

Toe box is nice and wide but the shoe still manages to have a nice flick, especially after they've been broken in a bit. The size seems to be true to size, or or at least uniform across the Sole Tech brands AKA eS, Emerica, Etnies etc.

first few skates, they might feel a tad tight but they are TTS in my opinion.
source another insole for them now, don't even try and skate using the stock one!

As soon as got them, I ripped out the stock insole and threw some Kingfoam Orthotics in there.
Did my first session with them today, and fit almost too tight. After the first hour or so, they started to feel a lot better. Definitely a fan of the shoe, only major complaint is since it’s thicker than say CTAS pro hi, it’s kind of a bitch getting on and off. First Soletech shoe that I’ve skated since the Emerica Reynolds Lights, and gotta hand it to them, they made a nice shoe, except the insole.

yeah, they'll feel tight-isa for the first few sessions, synth suede doesn't break in as quickly. They are fucking bullet proof though, you can really give them a beating. Sucks getting in/ out of them but that heel lock! My only compliant post-insole change is that they need some ventilation. Good in winter tho and/ or colder months

Definitely felt in this Cali summer sun, I completely agree about that hell lock. Ordered another pair to support the man before the first even got here for me to try, so I'm happy that it worked out.

Looks very similar to the Jameson HT, but it looks like it has a better heel cup, more cupsole like sole, and for sure a better insole if it’s rocking the G6 tech.

yeah, I guess Leo's shoes came out first but the Jameson have been round for a while now too (pre-Ryan Lay as well but only in the lows). I have some of Leo's laced shoes but they are the old version without the full cupsole, the new cupsole does look a bit bulkier in the heel so they could be the perfect shoe really?

The newer lows are great, the heel is super solid

They come to right around $65 with the SLAPNERD code. If I can get enough people to get some and stop buying Corpco shit I'll do another order with more than just white. Until then, spraypaint away. Also, $75 is pretty reasonable for an all suede mid top with overlays.

How wide are the cinexes compared to dunks and the other proper models? Looking for something stable and on the wider end but would also like it to be mid or high top if possible

They’re wider than Dunks for sure, I’d say the cinex width is between the conquista and the Rook.
Side note: what helps you guys with online ordering? Free exchange on sizes or something?

I do not mind 75 at all. Adidas and Nike hightops are way above that price. Hell the fullcab is 80 something. Cts high are 70+. Its fair. Plus the reflective stripes on the back have me sold. Especially if the quality is the same as the rook.

Has anybody mentioned the Proper Cinex.? Im trying the shoe out next. Just got the Rook from Proper and feels so good.
Yah, was mentioned earlier in the post - too bad they only make white on white and they're $75

You guys are finally in a shop online in Canada, so I've got my finger on the trigger for a pair of Cinex. Only thing I'm a bit uncertain on is the insoles. Is there a photo of them anywhere? Could you possibly give a comparison or even measurement on how thick they are in the heel?
I've recently started wearing custom orthotics, and the added heel volume has caused me to switch to mids, and caused very few shoes to fit properly unless I go with virtually no cushioning (best combination so far is One Star mids, with a thin ~10 year old Supra insole, with the orthotics on top).
Thanks!

Thanks, out of the conquista and rook, which one is the wider one and which one is the narrower one? Also just to make sure, I wasn't necessarily talking about room in the toe area, but rather the midfoot/heel area. Also would like to know about insole thickness as I am probably going to put some fp insoles in there if I get them.

Sorry if too big. They are slim but feel pretty good. The Rooks have more padding on the heel underneath the insoles. Pretty comfortable and I have fat flat feet. Also the heel locks in the shoe really well.

Conquista is a little wider than the Rook in the midfoot, less layers on the upper. The Conquista is also a bit lower at the heel. I made sure we used better PU on the midsole, that's usually one of the first things to go at big companies, they switch to shitty ones. The thicknesses I spec'd on the insole (for a 10.5 which was the sample) is 6mm in the front up to 12mm in back. Hope that helps.
If you got any more questions post up or message me. Thanks everyone.

Settling with some eS Accel Mids for the summer since it’s already hitting 100 degrees out here. Feels good to be ina mid cut shoe again but i still wish there were more options out there. The sole is so thin & soft that it hurts if you slam your foot on the side of your board even with a FP Custom orthotic. The heat even makes the insole super mushy at times which can feel weird. I think one of those Dr scholls athlete insoles with the shank plate may actually work better in these, I’ll have to try it out
Also the fact that there’s no tongue straps for the Mids is super whack. Luckily i get by using a hair tie but still...step that shit up SoleTech

After skating Emerica cupsoles for months, Es felt mushy and unstructured. They are only a midsole and heel cup off being really good shoes. The materials are fine..

I totally agree. I think I saw some advanced version of the accel in one of those recent es catalogs that had a translucent midsole and a strap. Maybe that'll be the upgrade we're looking for? shit I'd take the swift sole on the accel upper at this point

I don’t think this has been mentioned yet but I’ve had a pair of the adidas superstar vulc, I can’t stand that blue Insole but it’s so thick I replaced it with a footprint kingfoam and an old pair of Supra insoles I had from some sky top 3s (pretty comparable to vans ultracush insoles). With that combo it they’re more supportive than most cups, I did a good bit of jumping in them with no issues.
