Vox fall apart and a cheap imitations of Vans. No big secret there.

that's what i'm saying, though: the drehobl's have been really fucking durable. 

i can't be the only one with a good vox experience.

yeah dude!

hmm... i've noticed that a lot of lakais, have no toe caps... now imo that would make the shoe weak but what say you dudes who rock them?

I think they last longer.  I almost always skate MJ-3s but every once in awhile I'll skate something with a toe cap and I always rip through the stiching really quick but maybe that's just me.

I had some, I think they were the Peter Hewitts. Really good shoe. Looked nice too.
you can hardly call them" skateboarding shows".more like "shows with skateboarders in silly situations".

I agree about the Reynolds 3's. Great shoes.

How have so many people voted for fucking Lakai?! The team is amazing without a doubt. But the shoes are just utter garbage. They last like 2 days. I literally had a pair of mj 2's that lasted 2 days before the shitty sole fell off.

maybe everybody is just still loving those manchesters.....I really wanted to wear them but my right foot has no arch anymore and the arch on lakais doesn't work for it......the left one works great though....I always have that problem whenever I try and get them.....I really liked some MJ 3s after my friend had worn them for a while a year or two ago...


wheee!

Dekline, they can't even afford to pay the people who ride for them, they could use my money.
Besides the fact that the shoes are awesome and cheap.
insert meaningless cliche here.
