Puigs are the best skate shoes I've ever had. Swap out the insole for the old Busenitz, and they're perfect. The toe does take some getting used to, but they're basically half-shell Chuck Taylors. The more you skate them, the more arrow-shaped they get but they never get floppy because of the Sprint Skin. I have yet to find a better cupsole shoe. I don't even know if they qualify as that because the back heel is pure foam. The best balance of support, boardfeel, protection, and they look amazing when broken in and roughed up. I've got 2 pairs left in storage and keep buying them whenever they are on sale.
The only shoe that might surpass it is the new Silas chiller/runner.
