Bought the new Kenny Anderson's for 75 dollars. I went into the shop hoping to get the G6's but they were 110 dollars, and I don't want to pay that much for shoes that'll get destroyed But I like these a lot so far.
what? 110 for G6? are them some gold edition?!
I have no idea why they're so much. It might be because they're the only place around me that sells them. I find that in Canada skate shoes, decks, and wheels are over priced. Idk if it's just me but compared to the prices in the states there's a decently big difference.
I got my G6's for $69.95 online (The Navy 4:20 limited edition colorway) with free shipping. They're still up on Ebay (now for $59.99) in limited sizes.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360708679440I've been skating in these about 5 hours a week for the last month in a half and I'm really happy with the quality. The suede and soles are holding up really well. They're also really light and felt really good pretty much right out of the box.
The only problem that I have with them is that I was expecting a lot more from the insole protection wise...I've hurt my feet a lot since I've had these shoes, the worst being a gnarly heel bruise that I can't seem to get rid of (it's been about 5 weeks and it's still haunting me.) The fact that I'm on my feet moving around non stop for 8-9 hours a day at work doesn't help either. It just seems like they made such a big deal out of the padding and the insole and how they would protect your feet when you were jumping down shit, and for me they came up short in that aspect. Or maybe I just suck at skating and I should land tricks more instead of jamming my feet into the ground...
The good outweighs the bad and I'd definitely get another pair if I find a good deal. I'd like to try the Reynolds shoes too although I was left disappointed by the Reynolds 3 due to the quality and how quickly they wore out.
