Didn't really come out this year but skated these most of this year and they are one of the best shoes I've ever skated.
I feel like it's my duty to save people from this shoe.
They look like a bulky, protective shoe, but trust me when I say that they are anything but. The insole is thin, flat, cheap and offers no support whatsoever. It's a complete ripoff, as the cupsole itself is thin, hard and uncomfortable. I had a cheap pair of vulc DC's lying around, and was surprised to find proper impact insoles in them stock. I swapped with these and it felt better, but the shoes still didn't live up to it's price tag.
They might look attractive to people who want a more padded tongue, but they've somehow managed to make a thick seam on the inside that sticks down between the toe and tongue. It rubs against your foot, which pulls the tongue down to make it even more uncomfortable.
I also ripped laces at a rate of two per session, and although the suede itself holds up OK, I blew out seams in three areas within a couple sessions.
I bought these shoes on a whim at half price and wasn't expecting much, but I still feel ripped off. Don't do it.
