Ive tried some other cupsoles and the 1010 are the perfect shoe for me. I dont have a crazy flip trick game, but im not noticing anything detrimental to a lack of board feel. Sure, it doesnt feel like im barefoot in half cabs or blazers, but if anything i have gained board control with the support. Im skating far longer with hip/lumbar pain as well.
Also, i feel like the break in time is minimal, no different than any other shoe
