What's with skate shoes not having any padding anymore?

I hope they fixed them because they are great looking shoes. I got a pair of samples awhile ago and they just don't fit right, and i wear vans 90% of the time. the problem with them is that where the toe cap begins and the laces end it is very snug, so its not a matter of loosening the laces, however if you go up to a bigger size then they would be too small. Sort of the same problem that the early AVE sk8 lows had EXCEPT that those would break in and stretch after about a week, these don't. Mainly because the sole is not a traditional vulcanized sole(or at least a typical vans vulc sole) they don't have as much give, which would be a good thing if they weren't so skinny at that area of the shoe. As I said they are great looking shoes, even though they sorta just look like those Ed Templeton Emerica Old Skool rip offs.

these shoes look good for skating something that is generally lower impact...transition, in other words...i just don't know how people jump down stairs in shoes like this. fuck, if you land primo or just miss a little bit you're going to really fuck your foot up. different strokes i guess.

So is this basically an old school with a little bit of extra padding?

these in the tech-tuff look really nice. least based on the picture.
probably eyeball that shit all over when i can see one in a shop. or on my damn feet!

though the last pair of vans i tried on were crazy uncomfortable (era 1.5s) with that cup sole, and basicly NO insole.
hope these have some kinda nice insole.

does vans still make 'lampins' i remember those being good shoes...

Rowley specials is basically a Lampin.




I like those Versa's.  Probably more for chillin' than skating though.

yeah dude!

I tried them on this weekend and would have bought them but they have no type of 'collar' on the heel so my foot kept slipping out. I think they look rad though.
