My friend got them, and tore them to shreds in a months time. I couldn't believe how they fell apart so quick. I told him more than once to try and contact Emerica about it. That's how bad it was.
Now, my friend skates everyday, 1-3 hours a day, at least. So, you would have to figure he put those shoes through about 70-90 hours of skating.
I'll try to get pictures of it this week and post them to show how bad they fell apart.
