Shoes & Gear / Re: What shoe brand do you skate most often?
« Last post by rocklobster on Today at 07:34:12 PM »I tried for years to be a DC / eS (core brand) guy before skating and chilling in NB almost exclusively. Size consistency sucks for older models (868, 272, 420) and their soles felt slick when new, but the material on their uppers is insanely durable. And the look down factor is a 10/10, amazing colorways for all looks ranging from muted for office casual or louder for a fun mix up.

The tongue needs TLC when putting them on (it's not puffy) so the outside edges curl under.
The top of the heel counter (achilleas area), just sucks balls when putting them on, I've had mine get 'stuck' in a squished state after trying to cram my foot in there without unlacing all the way (total user error); I've acctually started using a fucking SHOE HORN to not have to deal with it.
The shoe just isn't easy to get on but it skates great, heel part of the sole is a tad thick, gives off AF1 vibes.

Funny you say that, because the regular Vans Classics seem to work best for me, also size 12, only I strip out the simple footbed in the shoes and put in some modified pro insoles.
Usually Half Cabs, Old Skools and more recently the Sk8 low shoes as my common go to without too much fuss at all, now pretty much all on sale for some of the not so crazy looking ones, so it works out a good deal all round.
It's usually been Vans for me, but with them raising prices on their shoes it's getting hard to justify getting them when you can get much better options for the same or similar price.
I have definitely seen a swing away from Vans because of this, so although some prices are going up a bit, Vans Skate range seems to be going up a lot.
