Thanks for posting @JM
What do the insoles look like?

[close]

thin foam, 5mm probably, no tech

@Crabby_Bastard  ah. Yes that was a miss.

Like Roba said, it’s 5mm foam (ortholite) , with a little bit thicker area for arch support, and small lips around the heel. For a chill shoe, it’s good. (I pull it out and replace with a skate insole, though.)

IPATH Marketing only calls it “ortholite” insole, and by the photo from ortholite’s website it kind of looks like the recycled content version. But if it was, then IPATH should mention that to talk about sustainability since it’s part of their ethos.

So Australia finally got the crickets in that tan hemp with the black toebox - anybody got any feedback on these bad boys? I'm so tempted, but I don't want to order online without any feedback, and I'm not close to any stores who've ordered it in person.

I’ve got a pair but never ended up skating them. Construction is fine but the tongue feels a tad to chunky for my liking, will probably squish down. Usually I feel like I need a 10.25 in most skate shoes, but size 10 is perfect fit for my foot. Didn’t Australia also get the denim grasshoppers?

Surprised Australia got the crickets.   Thought they were against bringing outside fauna into the country

Fred Gall twisted the custom officer's arm a bit, that's how!

Yeah, I saw the denim's online too. Kinda wished we just got the blue/white grasshoppers to begin with. Personally leaning to the crickets, not too fussed about the puffy tongue (in my head at least). Also fond of the Reed's but I know my knees won't be

Looks like they would be comfortable.

Update from pug, I love ortholite Reebok uses it in some of their shoes

Def comfortable. I just need optimum shock absorption for ow-mah-back!

!! awesome thanks

[hayduke lives]

any updates on when we'll see the cat lows in the US? it's been a month since we got an update via texas_tone but they haven't said anything officially. the shoes seem to have made it to AUS, did they divert the entire drop to other markets because of tariffs? if so, at least tell us. the lack of communication is making me loose faith.

Can you cut open the tongue and take out any foam? I used to do this all the time.

[pedro_mayn]

Hoping to finally get a pair of Cats now before I go away on a trip, hoping that restock is within this month!

I do have an OG hemp pair I got but no way am I skating those.

I just tried, and the foam is stuck with someting (very thin layer of glue?).  It seemed difficult to take the foam out the tongue.  Like taking a sticker off when's been on for a while... you could do it, but it would be laborous.

Anyone with a pair of grasshoppers that has also skated the NB# 480 highs by chance? Would love to know how they compare.

Do they have arch support or are they mostly flat? Any other notes of comparison would be appreciated as well.

Flat and fit loose around the top of your feet.

May I add: SO loose.

Great if you have a wide foot.

If you like arch support you could consider getting an insole with it built in.

[steve]

will a dub still fit in the stash pocket of cats? shit was perfect during those days

[Síota]

Any news on a skater owned shop in the EU stocking them yet?

[144p]

Need those brown reed Low’s, keep checking us site but nothing yet.

Have you skated the reeds from the new ipath? I’m wondering how the midsole in a vulc is working out? I’ll grab a pair if I ever see them but want to try on first

@144p My local just snagged some if youre still looking for them

I couldn’t wait for them to drop in the states, had to order from Canada. They are honestly super comfortable, though I haven’t had a chance to skate them yet. I imagine they’ll perform pretty well just from how they felt walking around a block party and dancing in em for a couple hours fresh out the box.

[whats upman]

New stuff finally hitting the states, looks like No Comply and a couple of others have them in person and online as of today. They added toe perforation holes on the Grasshoppers. Can't hardly wait to skate those Reed Lows with the cork insole.

If the shipping company wasn't UPS, you are going to get a bill for customs and duties a month later.

Those insoles suck it’s too mushy. I replaced my cats insoles with Nike zoom air insole and feels great

Surely y'all have noticed that Bam skates iPaths now? Dunno any deetz, just saw him wearing a pair on his Insta.

Yea I saw him wearing a pair.

I wonder if a bam endorsement would even generate sales at this point?

He does have a lot of main stream recognition, but I don't think normies are buying ipaths in 2025.

Whatever happens, I hope they stick around for a while.

I assumed Evan Smith gave him a pair because they were skating together in IG clips, but he’s also friends with Fred Gall.

Stoked the olive Cats lows finally dropped in the US but still waiting on the denim/hemp Grasshoppers.
