I haven't tried either of the Suciu shoes yet so I can't speak to those and I haven't been able to skate the city cups yet, but I'm really diggin them for walking around in and it looks like all Lucas has been skating since they've dropped. I'd just suggest half size down if you like a more snug shoe ( but they will still have some wiggle room in the toe box from what I've read, I enjoy this, others don't really )
