Post by: H8R part 4 on March 31, 2009, 09:43:37 AM: i've skated a lot of good shoes so i can't pick a best shoe but i can pick the worst shoe i've skated.
i got these fred gall ipaths and they totally suck ass. i skated them for a couple of hours and the side of my foot as well as the back of my heel were rubbed raw and bleeding. normally i wouldn't skate ipaths but they were cheap and i was helping someone out. maybe i can wear them as chillin shoes since they're just black and white but i damn sure ain't skating in them, screw that.

i've had some bad shoes but these were by far the worst skateshoes i've purchased in 22 somewhat years.
ipath = the suck

Post by: DMH on March 31, 2009, 03:23:43 PM: Worst ever - Easily the Lakai Marc Johnson 2. That shit fell apart worse than anything I've ever had. Some styrofoam type shit in the sole was falling out after a week, and my switch toe wore through like I normally do a regular. And my regular toe looked like I was skating slip-ons or something.

Best ever - Probably the Lakai Marc Johnson 3, actually. Way, way big step up from his second shoe, even though it's pretty much a Campus rip-off. For that matter, I skated some non-skateboarding suede Campuses and really loved those too.

Post by: kevbo999 on March 31, 2009, 04:40:53 PM: I found the MJ III's were incredibly stiff and bulky. They never felt right.

The best shoe I've skated was the Koston Select, which I guess is just a Rowley Classic ripoff.

So true, that shoe was a fucking embarassment.

Best was the Circa 404; bring that shit back and I will buy it forever.

Title: Re: best shoe/ worst shoe
Post by: Mr_Snickers on April 17, 2009, 12:22:02 AM: Top 5 Best:
Emerica AR Slim - I never get heel bruises in these, they don't blow out in the sole like the Reynolds 3's and they fit better than any other shoe
Vans Half Cab - What can I say, it looks good, feels great, and super skateable
Nike SB Verona Slip On - the most skateable slip-on. period.
Lakai Manchester (OG version with the stitched sole) - lasted me long than any other shoe I ever owned
Emerica Kirchart SDK - amazing sole, board feel, and the perfect amount of padding

Top 5 Worst:
Nike SB Angus - The worst concept ever for a skate shoe
C1RCA Easy Ryder - Sole was too thin
Vans Greco 2 - Way too bulky
Lakai MJ-2 Select - Don't fit right
DC Pure - Ripped within 3 days
