Ellington's Vega had that spongy sole I thought was good, it didn't wear down as quick as the Skytop 1 or Vaider's sole. Had the Vaider's in TUF and the sole gave way and separated from the shoe at the back, then a hole right through to the insole formed under my big toe and ball of my pushing foot. Good shoe, but not as good as the Skytop 1 in my opinion. I just hope they update it with a better sole. Vega's were fucking fantastic, just felt a little high in the sole. And one thing I will say is I love the Supra insoles, kept all the ones I've had and they are very comfortable and padded for a LONG time.
I'm jonesing to get a pair of the Hammers, looks like a fantastic shoe and I hear it has the same sole as the Skytop 3? With the heel insert thing and all that?
