Went to active and got a pair of G6's, and came up on some more cash so I went back hoping they had the busenitz ADV's i saw,but they only had a size 12. They had the spruce Vincents but were suuuuper slim, even a size up, so I ended up getting another pair of G6's, but a half size down. They both fit great, i'm not picky

Seriously, the first time I can actually feel the breathability being any better in any shoe, that thing that the G6 have, really works..

I've been debating for a year and a half to skate mine --- they're rare enough that I opted against it, but I'd love to buy a pair just to skate in.

Super hyped on the NB stratfords. The first session they were nice and flexible, super good board feel, but great cushion, and really comfy. These are so good in my book, I was a little skeptical at first, but these skate so well, I'll prob get that aviator blue/ scarlet red colorway next. They are a little narrow, kind of like the mike Mo shoe,  had to go half-size up from regular sizing.




I want to get these, but I haven't had a cup sole shoe in years, how would you compare these to vulcanized shoes?
This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

I found a pair on eBay a little while ago...they're hard to find, that's for sure. I'm sure they'll do another one soon enough though - it's always guaranteed to sell.

Just got these. Felt really nice in the shop, but I went skating in them and they were killing me. Anyone had these and did they stretch out at all?

The canvas doesn't really stretch a whole lot. They'll get floppy more than anything...

I just had these and they feel weird at first with rubber(plastic?) underlay, its pretty stiff at first. After they skating them for a little bit and they were fully broken in they felt so amazing, like some thick socks with a vans sole. I was skeptical about how well they'd skate and kinda just bought them for the hell of it because they looked cool but they ended up being one of my recent favorite shoes. They did fit my feet fairly well in the beginning, so I don't know if it would happen for you, but they became really comfortable after a short time.

I have some of those Raul Navarro Ronans now and they felt super bulky and thick at first coming from the Chimas, but they're breaking in now and I like them... I find it easier to grind through rough ledges and pool coping with grippy cupsoles because you don't feel the chunkiness as much.

This DVS Huf3 is one of my favorite skate shoes, ever, and I still have a few pairs mint in the box that I bought up years ago. I decided to break a pair out a few weeks back and skate them. They are as killer now as they were 10 years ago. Phenomenal shoe.

For shits and giggles I also broke out this old pair of DVS Dill shoes, and these aren't quite as functional. They're also bulky as hell. Comfortable to walk around in, but not so good for skateboarding.

Just bought these to just keep in the box and wait till i had an occasion to wear them.. Then my girl broke up with me and these were all I had in the trunk besides my skateshoes, so these are all I can wear until i get access to my stuff again.. They are nice though!

That shoe lasted me a while.

It seems like newer Vans models are a waste of money. My TNT 5's really fucking sucked and apparently that shoe sucks too.

ironic because they just so happen to the most complained about shoes on here as well. "they rub my toes too much, hurt my feet, and make my ankles bleed if i do too many heelflips, but they're the best!"

I've had few pairs and the one's i've had did break in nicely. I liked the shoe but prefer the suede ones better.
