Been a huge fan of the Half Cab Pro's lately - albeit could be that I'm getting back into skating for the first time in a better part of a decade and the nostalgia factor.
I never could get into them myself. Not a huge fan of Mids and I find them odd looking if you have size 12+ feet. Same reason I won’t ride Converse All Star Pros. I love how they look on smaller feet and like how they skate but they look like clown shoes on me. I wish I liked Half Cabs more though because the tech is great on them and it’s a classic.
I’m thinking about going with Chima Pro 2s, Blazer Low GTs, Matchcourts, or Louie Lopez Pros if I don’t go with Wino G6s next. These Reynolds Vulc Lows are decent but the toe box is a little tight for me and I also am having issues with keeping the tongue straight.
rwynolds vulc lows feel very minimal too, the vulc midsole height is really slim I feel. Blazer lows or wino’s seem like a good call. I’m size 12-13 as well.
See I personally love the thin midsole on most Emerica and Lakai Vulcs. I don’t mind foot pain from skating, I hardly notice it since I ski and am used to 12 hour 50+ foot booter sessions in right as boots. The board control is unmatched when they’re that thin.
Also I must say that they are the best heelflip shoes I’ve skated and I love heelflip variations. I usually rip that spot of the shoe quick... way quicker than most. The stitching and design/materials are very solid. Not to mention how much I love the company and team. Bækkel, The Provider, Figgy, Spanky, Winkowski, Dickson, Servold, etc. Stacked for a smaller core company. Wish Reynolds stayed but he’s done enough for the industry... get that chedda’ Boss-man.
