Vans SK8-Hi Boot MTE DX 10.5

[close]

These are sick right? I wear mine all the time since last winter, super stoked that Vans finally made a proper sneakerboot.

Yeah, I’m excited to try them out! I appreciate the fact that they have some subtle “tech” features, while still looking pretty much like a regular skate shoe. Hopefully they will hold up for a couple of Michigan winters!

Anyone have a pair of the Emerica Spanky Reserves who want to share thoughts on them? Or if anyone has handled a pair in person? They're super cheap on Emerica's website and I'm very tempted to grab a pair, but I've never seen a pair in real life and was wondering how they feel.

Emerica with probably the best deal all weekend. I snagged a pair of the deep purple/brown ones from the sale so ill let you know when they come in.

[close]

I copped the dark green ones from tactics about a week ago since Emerica didn't have my size. They're pretty nice and I just swapped the insoles to make it more comfy for longer shifts at work. But I did snag the deep purple/brown ones from Emerica bc of how cheap they were!!

How's the fit on these? Similar to Docs?

My partner is a sweetheart and got these for me from Emerica's sale :')

I'd say they run a little small. I normally wear a 10 in most shoes and a 9 in Docs. She got these in a 10 for me and my toes just barely hit the inside of the shoe. It's a little uncomfortable for long days, but I really like how they look and I'm still stoked on them. Would definitely recommend.

A friend gifted me a pair in size 10.5 that were too small for him. I would not be able to walk in them if they were my usual size of 9.5. Definitely half a size smaller than the Spanky and Reynolds G6s I've skated in for the past year. Could be true to size depending on one's feet, I guess.

Fuck yes.

Picked up a pair of the Uprise half cab pros today. Seems a little lower than the standard ones and definitely less padding around the collar, feels pretty good.

look very nice.  a less padded tongue too?

[ldmch11]

Thanks, yea tongue seems slimmed down as well. Not the biggest fan of the ultracush insoles but couldn't pass these up when I saw them in the shop.

New Balance Numeric 440

I've been skating Dunks for the past year so the difference in flick is taking some getting used to. That being said these shoes are excellent. Quality simple cupsole. The board feel seems better than Dunks.

12/20 Edit: I'm getting used to the flick and really enjoying them. I love the board feel. I feel more in control on my board. The shark bite is REAL though. I'm not used to such a low profile shoe. I think I'm going to go for the 288 next since it has a little more ankle collar padding.

I'm so jealous of these. I really wanted to pick up a pair, but I don't really need shoes.

I wanna grab a pair of those. Normal cons 1/2 size down in those or true to size?

Skated these for a bit yesterday and they’re sooo good. So many little design features I appreciate all throughout the shoe, and while I heard that they can be stiff out the box, they really weren’t bad at all and broke in faster than the 4 pairs of 533v2’s I skated. Looking forward to getting some clips in these

[close]

they look rad! Not overly tech but you can tell they’ve got lots of interbalntechnif that makes sense? Would cop!

Really wanna try a pair of these next time I see some available at the local. The "nuanced" tech shoe style goes a long way

[johnes]

they are comfy!

I know I’ve asked you before but do still think these are the best option for a Reynolds Low fan? Do you consider them sized the same?

I’m on my last, bald sole pair of Lows and I tried a pair of these the other week and they felt kinda mushy - like my beat to shit old shoes. I liked the structure of the Lows and the higher heel drop.


I should have just bought them on the spot because I seem to hate everything else but they were full price and I didn’t have my insoles to see if they fit and the toe seemed more narrow.

[pizzafliptofakie]

Third pair in a row.

Def go half size down, Im normally a 9.5 in most shoes, got a 9 in these and they fit perfect. New cons insole is kinda ass, but luckily i had some lunarlons on ice and they make these shoes feel amazing

I really don't have much to compare them to. I haven't skated in any shoe except Reynolds (lows then g6) for the last 6 or 7 years. I haven't tried them on, but the chris joslin etnies shoe seems very similar to the Reynolds lows. I'll probably try those or the marana once my Reynolds supply runs out. Still have another 4 pairs.

[Firebert]

Best shoe ever?

Nah. Too pretty and rare. If it were up to me there would be general releases of the Aloha Super.

These do make me curious about skating some adidas so I wanna see which model has the closest shaped toe.

[jakeumms]

^They look real nice. I'd try a pair if they were GR.

Judging by your preferences, maybe try on the Busenitz OG? The fit was weird for me but I liked their stability and support.
