Found some eS keano. Such a good skate shoe, I really hope they do come back.
[close]

I bought two pairs a while ago when they had that eS ebay sale, and I have yet to skate them, I just can't break them in, they fit fine size-wise, but they're just so goddamn uncomfortable. Bummer because I really wanna skate them.
I was hesitant to skate them because they are prolly the last ones I will ever own but I was broke and needed some shoes to skate so what better shoes to skate in then some eS. I thought it was a proper way to send them off. Also, what size you get them, if they are to uncomfortable I would consider taking them off your hands.

Here's what those P-Rod 7's look like after about 2.5 weeks of heavy skating. the lighting makes them look brighter than what they really are. they're really more of a darker red. Ill probably give em a couple more weeks before I post a review. Durability is really the last thing i need to test for, but overall its looking to be a pretty positive review. Ill probably end up getting a few more pairs of these down the line.

The Salazar is an older shoe, but I just bought this pair last week. They've been great to skate in. Perfect ankle support and a lot slimmer than I thought it was going to be by the looks of it. The sole is perfect. I know, it's Nike, but it's still a great shoe.

Yep, the Lunarlon insoles. And I agree...it's definitely one of the better skate shoes I've had in the past year regardless of brand.

I look forward to your reviews for a lot of reasons man, but especially due to the fact that you seem to do a lot of heelflips, and i feel like a lot of shoes - and a lot of shoe reviews - don't account for this, and as a fan of switch/nollie heels, i am always interested to see how different shoes size up in this aspect.

currently plus 2 slip ons, checkerboard, and black suede

gonna start skating the reynolds later today, the 2nd shoe that wasn't a Blazer in 6 years.  hope they don't disappoint...

What size did you get for your Reynolds? Same as Blazers?
[close]

i did get the same size.  they felt small as shit, but after skating them for a bit they felt ok.  they're crazy shoes, and great so far
Ok thanks, no regret on getting half size larger?

thanks man! yeah as you can see in the photo that seam near the back of the swoosh is just now starting to rip, and ive done a million heelflips in these. I kinda wish they had that same rubber piece they had on the 6's because that pretty much made that part of the shoe as durable as can be, but the suede they use on these things is pretty quality stuff. I assumed the tiger print would actually be less durable than the normal colorways but its been holding up pretty well. its only just now starting to rip near that 3rd lace hole & is yet to wear down the first row of stitches on the toecap.

Never had em, but they look great.


I just got these in the mail:



I normally wear an 8, but i had to buy a 8.5 in these. Really snug fit, but very very comfortable.

I always thought that Nike was way ahead in the shock absorption thing. But its like you walk on air in these things.

Just picked up a pair of the BA's, lightest, comfiest skate shoe ive had in a good while.
So far i intend to use them for chillers, so couldnt say how they skate, but from driving in them i can say the board feel isnt all that bad as i assumed it would be.

Why would you assume a modern cupsole to have bad boardfeel?

Damn they look nice. Waiting for the red ones coming out next week, I intend to skate them though.. Do they feel weird for a skateshoe on the foot?

Yeah the red ones look fresh, but im just too impatient i guess. From what ive seen so far they would feel great as a skate shoe, the only slightly weird bit for me is that its got a quite big arch bump, ya know? in the middle of foot, where your arch is, theres alot of support, which some people like but i find a bit annoying for skating, except from that all the materials and everything feel great.

Yes.

The 'gazelle skate' > extra padding and some kind of air pocket.

Super comfortable shoe.

They kinda remind me of Janoskis but i like these better. Don't think they would hold up well for skating though.

i got the brown era pro syndicate juliens and they fucking rule. that interchangeable sole is awesome for no socks. Also, I got a pair of the tnt 5's and they ripped in a couple of sessions. what would i expect from a canvas side though? I thought someone had mentioned it earlier.
