Thanks for posting this HR. Weartested reviews are the best and this one is no exception. Actual reviews, not watered down promos for the shoe being tested.

agreed.

also, one of my favorite more recent developments in shoes is this "the nearly seamless inner part of the shoe".  

also also, i like that the Wear authors are very concerned with ventilation and always comment on it, almost to a 'pet peeve' level.   Mainly because I always get very annoyed with shoes that act like saunas for my feet

Lakai changed their vulk/select sole from the shit heavy one with the dimples/circles to a herringbone pattern.  I'm assuming the new one is much better considering how average the old one was?  And the sws tech looks even better.

Great reviews, love the site.

Pretty sure the "cross section" of the VA is the Vans Chima pro though isn't it?
