Been skating them for a week now.
The insole has actually adapted a lot more to the shape of my foot and it's very very comfy.
Not a lot of damage being done but I haven't flipped my board much, but the grip is great.
As pointed out by a friend, this shoe has all the best features from Cons, Nike and Vans combined.
Very happy with them overall, I finally got the black on black too, stoked!
