I haven't skated vulcs since maybe 2015 (and even then it was just the odd pair of sole tech vulcs with good insoles), but I recently got some DC Kalis vulcs and I'm paying the price now. Feet are so sore I couldn't skate today, and it was keeping me up last night when I was trying to sleep.

I'm switching to some Etnies Veer's I had previously shelved for the opposite reason - they're so thick it's hard to feel your board. They've been broken in from months of walking though, so back to supportive cupsoles it is! They feel like clouds in comparison.

I haven’t skated in more than two weeks so it’s been a while since I’ve worn these. Upgraded from beat up Adidas insoles to some fresh Cons. They feel so good (it feels good to be skating again too.)

Easily my favorite shoe I’ve ever skated.

would y'al say TTS on these? I wear 9 in Adidas copas, and the new vans slips too if that helps

I recently picked up the lows and I went TTS. Fit snug but in a good way, hugs your foot well. Can't imagine there would be a huge difference for the highs.

Half a size down at least for the highs

TTS for me. The toe box on these isn’t as tall as other shoes I’ve skated recently, and I have thicker insoles in them, so they feel a touch small but not nearly enough to go up in size. Going down a half size would not work for me personally.

DC Manual RT S. So they decided to copy the uncomfiness of Chucks/Purcells too. Narrow fit, no DC I-impact outsole that I really like and stupid thin insoles (5mm heel to 3mm toe). My feet hurts just walking around long day. Really hope they'll continue making Evan Smith hi zeros, no way I would seriously skate these.

Same even when I was younger it hurt. Now in mys 30s it's inconceivable.  My homies my age still skating chucks and vans make me cringe

Got my 440 lows from Holistic today, can't wait to skate them



those are gorgeous.

EDIT: could I get an ID on those pants? The fit is perfect.
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.

Liked the Evants and like these Quattros even more. So comfortable and last suprisingly well.

just picked them up, they weren’t cheap but they are in excellent fucking condition for a 20 year old shoe, so comfy to slip your foot into

I skated some ipath cats low with a vulc sole in 2010 that I picked up at Ross for like 20 bucks. They skated so well. I think about that shoe a lot actually.

Cross post but figure people will be interested!



They’re lovely! Plenty of comfy cushioning fir old men.

Cant skate them for a while as swollen ankle!

Slip cup is a bit roomier than a regular g6 wino slip.

How's the cushioning/boardfeel compared to their other cups? Last ones I had were the Reynolsd G6 and while they were plenty supportive, they were a little too thick for my taste. Those slips look very nice.














While I'm here, had these Rowans on ice for awhile and just started skating them. Verrrry grippy at first but I'm 2 sessions in and they're feeling really good. I came from the Crockett Highs to these, and while the Crocketts felt nice these definitely feel more familiar as a Vans guy.

Are those just regular Superstars or are they the ADVs? I hadn't seen anything about a new black/white colorway since last year sometime.
