So I just got back from a lil trip to California, skated the buhjezz out of my old slip-ons. I think its finally time to give these guys a retirement of only being worn when I'm working on art and junk
and just before I left for the trip, I found out it was gonna rain for the first two days we'd be there, so I picked these waxed canvas IPath Cats for $25 at ROSS (Don't worry, I checked with Mr.Watson, he said he'd forgive me)
Decided to not even bother trying to skate them until I'd worn them around till they're heavily worn in. They worked pretty good for water resistance (though, not fullyproof)
And so with several days of complaining about how much my toes hurt and how I could feel my socks ripping from the ol' slip-ons, my buddy Scotty gave me these Vans that were a half size small for him to wear
wasn't psyched on how the front end of the shoe looked at first, but I dug the color, and after having skated them, I'll say, they flick real good (and thats saying something for a guy that doesn't flip much now-a-days)
