Can someone tell me if the durability on the Janoski's are any good? I saw some for 50 bucks and I want to get them.

Those Lakai Belmonds with the XLK cup sole are really underrated. Simple, boatshoe/Janoski/fashion-forward silouette but with support and rigidness. I don't know any other shoe that can offer that.

How do those fit when compared to the Guy XLKs or Busenitz? Are they super narrow?

Had both of those. Not as narrow as the Guy but has a similar feel. More room for your toes then both but not in a bad way. doesn't squish them together like the Businetz.

It's impossible to not look gay in those.

Thanks for all the feedback of the Janoski's guys! I was choosing between these Cappuccino Janoskis and a pair of G-Codes but the Janoski's looked really good on my feet, felt good, and they were only 50 bucks which I feel like is rare for a Janoski. They're also pretty damn light.

Yes, or at least on my feet. I was kinda surprised how slim they are, but after I walked around for a bit, they are awesome now.

Seriously? I can't picture too many people wearing these in 2012 especially "core" skaters. Maybe if they slimmed it down a little and changed a few other things I could see it.

They don't have to change a thing with the "lynx". They just need to re-release them.

Just give it a few hours of walking around or skating, they'll be perfect after that. I love the DC cole s

Those are not the origitnal Lynx as far as i remember? That is the Lynx 2! Still a great shoe though. I still rock my original Lynx to this day! I have one pair left, and they are still amazing, it doesn't need to be slimmed down in my opinion. Its probably just the nostalgic feeling though. I think Lynx has a serious fan-base, but I don't know if people would actually buy the shoes if they re-released them.. Kinda like with the Koston 1 released on Lakai, a good idea, but I don't remember anybody I know who skates who actually bought them!

I run about 15-20 miles a week and there is no reason at all to wear those.

Oh, but they feel fabolous, and that's all the reason I need.

ordered these thanks to the SPoT vans weekend sale, had to go a full size lower than my usual but im stoked to finally get a pair.

It's pretty sad someone your age doesn't know how to buy the right size shoe.
