The Set-up Thread

isle sylvain tognelli 8.5, pretty much a perfect shape
independent 149 with conical after market bushings
MOB griptape, bones STF josh hawkins 52mm V1,
bones reds shields popped of course, and Shorty's
silverados hardware. i'm pretty stoked on the setup.

[Silky Johnson]

I'd be stoked on that too, looks great

Dwindle is the most reliable shapes for me. I know I can get any random 8.25 dwindle board and not hate it. The label said steep kick mellow convabe, but it does not look that steep to me. The nose and tail have a even height. The shape is more pointy than round. Similar to a JK industries shape.

The dwindle consistency is great, I've been trying to find a Dwindle 'Full' shape, medium (or Full) concave steep kick out in the wild to stand on but I can't see to find one.

I really hate to say this but it looks like the only place I've been seeing them lately is at mall shops.

I'm pretty sure none of my local spots cary anything from Dwindle, the only exception being the fucked up blind kids rereleases.

what is the wheelbase on that Isle?

im a fan of those Chima 2s...  if you take out the plastic heel cup insoles

[tangar]

Are they more uncomfortable then the Regular pro insoles? And what do you use as replacements? I’m interested in trying that shoe.

I wouldn’t trust the medium unless your more into a flat kinda board

The full is so awesome, I love the full shape from dwindle so much. Reminds me of old real or anti hero before the wheelbases got bigger and the shapes too.

Don’t get me wrong I still like deluxe wood but that 14.38 wheelbase is not my normal legs width of space when I’m standing so I gotta power through for the flips

yeah it's BBS. the concave is amazing. i'd say rather on the steeper side
but feels perfect. i come from a REAL spree and i'd say it is steeper than
them. if a little more/steeper concave is your thing: highly recommended.

i think the wheelbase on that isle is 14.5

not significantly more uncomfortable, no.  I just dont love how cramped they make the shoe feel in the toe area because of the stiff dura-cap.  If the fit of the regular Vans pro shoes dont bother you, these wont bother you either.  I just threw in a Nike Zoom Air insole and they feel great... but I've also used an #NB insole from a 533 v.2 and that's been good too.

I like the extra support of the new insole.  I haven't been able to wear vans daily in a while, my last pair were the rowley slims.  When the cushioning on those packed out (too fast), my feet were done.  These are actually wearable for me for a whole day.  There is a bit of a pressure point for me on the top of my foot where the front of the shoe creases if I wear thick socks.

What's the 'custom' portion and was it added cost/did you have to buy in bulk?

I picked the shape, mold and dims out based it on my favorite shapes this is 8.25" with a 14" wb, 7" nose and 6.5" tail - bought in bulk to sell to local shops and friends but never really advertised since WKND came out shortly after

if it's anything like the two other PS 8.5s I've had, it should be fairly mellow
