Half size down, similar to converse or LRAB sizing.

Breaking these in and skating them next. Excited to try something different but I think I'm going to have to replace the insoles. My cat definitely approves.

Hot off the press, I really like the Nora. They’re snug and solid, kinda like the Matchbreak Super if I had to compare the fit and feel to another current model, but I’d say they’re more skateable out of the box thanks to the sole design. You don’t have that sharp edge all the way around like most vulcs. Nice shoe. Much better than the Puig Indoor, in my opinion.

@EmericaTM  any inputs on purposefully sizing down a half a size with the slip cups?

I’ve got the spanky ones tts and I think I might do better fit wise if I size down a smidge.

Anyone ever tried a half size down for a more snug fit?
Personally I go TTS in all the slip-ons whether they’re cup or vulc. Some do go down half a size though. Hope that helps!

Emerica cups are all Ive been wearing for my whole skate lifw basically (19 years or so).

Ive been wearing size 45 in everything. Shoes on the Laced sole run a little tighter in the beggining, but since Spanky G6 came out, that has been my choice, slips and normal model. Definitelly dont recomend sizing fown, go with your true size. Slips are a little tighter than the normal model, but dont size down.

What's the most recommended cupsole Lakai model?

I'm digging the Atlantic, Brighton, and Telford Low.

I need a wide toebox though, does that narrow down my choices at all?

Also, what brand makes the longest lasting rubber? I had some Etnies Marana with the Michelin sole and that lasted forever. Anything else comparable or better? My es Accel Slim wore fast as fuck, and my Fallen out soles were just alright.

Thank you Filip, I’ve been skating Laced non stop for 5 years or so, the reason I ask about the slip cup is my spanky ones are just a little big TTS, my thought was if I size down half I can stretch out the suede to a happy snug fit

The Atlantic has always been true to size to me.
The Brighton and Telford Low I needed a half size up.
The Brighton feels a bit weird shapewise, like the toe area is a bit too long, the laces don't go down toward the toes so much. The new Telford low come with same outsole as the Atlantic and they are way better as the old outsole.

None of them feel like cupsoles to me personally, compared to some Adidas or Emerica I have.

Lakai cupsoles (XLK) feel more like a Vulc and Cup hybrid.
But the Atlantic's are a good shoe and Vince is cool.

Skated in Dunks last week and damn it feels good to skate in those shits. Seems the hype is dying down. Hope it will enable normal shopping for dunks again.

Ha! That's sick! They were brought back as a lifestyle model anyway, but I've been skating them (second pair in a row), and loving them!

they really are a great looking shoe, but I was more surpised with how well they skate/ break in!
I'm not really that hard on my shoes so perhaps not the best person to be reviewing the vegan materials though...

since i am not tooo hard on shoes myself i'm rather interested in all the other stuff going on- break in, cushioning and so on!

These have a real skate shoes type of look to me but that might just be nostalgia!

How they fit? I have pretty wide forefoot and mid height arch.
