With that sales speech alone, I'd buy a pair to skate without even seeing them. I love half cabs, for the last year I've been skating thin soled Emericas except now I got a pair of Carroll selects which feels pretty sick after the first session. Sounds like a win-win-type-a deal to me.

Those do look good.
However, if they're not called the Hsu Shu, I'm not going to buy them

they are called "the hsu" and they are a shoe. whether or not you decide to spell the word shoe "shu" is up to you.

my indifference towards this shoe just went through the ceiling.

me too,  i got some baby blue half cabs comming in the mail.....

Also i've realized that the sole tech vulcanized shoes just aren't the same as vans.......I don't think the rubber goes through the same chemical treatment or something like that........it's the same stuff as normal cupsoles just shaped like vulcanized.........grips slightly better than accel sole or something but compared to vans skating in some square one's basically just feels like cupsole to me.......
Title: Re: jerry hsu emerica shoe
Post by: baxter on November 18, 2007, 12:02:46 PM
Well when skating sole tech shoes and wearing them done the sole starts turning in a circle. I am not aware of this with vans and Im skating Eras right now.
