$90 is a steep but I think worth it since that toe cap will make it last a little longer.

But wearing these to break them in so I can skate in them soon.


I think these are the best shoe I've skated this year. Great toe and loads of board feel.

Other shoes skated:Dunks, G6x2, Kalis and now half cabs... My feet are too old for half cabs!

hell yeah sweat stains, i got some too!

I did as well! Same color for $25 bucks. They're everything I wanted the Vans Chima to be and more. I also got the Zoom Gatos because I'm a sucker for soccer shoes and Alex Olson  :-*

Not posting pics because everyone else already did.

I picked up some Provosts for $39.99 at Skate Warehouse this week.  Haven't skated them yet but they are super light and have a more rigid feel than the Vincents.  The sole panels and insole seem pretty nice.  I will post an update after I skate in them some.

Skating Vincent's new shoe and I'm impressed. They felt a bit stiff in the first session but today they skated amazing and it looks like they are going to last a while. Great board feel and my feet weren't aching after skating like most vulcs do.

I'd say try the 12s, it sucks you can't get a half size, hopefully that works for you

Ya, i mean just walking around they feel comfortable. But its just weird looking down and seeing these fat puffy things. I havent really skated with these yet though. The gravis look like they will fall aort in 2 sessions , so im chilling with those.

As long as you put shoe-goo or some super glue on them before you skate them, you'll be good. Those shoes are great to skate in, the sole lasts forever and is really grippy

have some reynolds mids at the moment, but really missing the g6's. might have to switch back next time around.

I've been wearing the G6's for the past few months and I'm happy with them for the most part. Definitely comfortable, durable, and good looking...The only thing I'm disappointed in the impact support; I've had more bruises on my feet with these fucking things than any other shoes for some reason.

I was thinking of grabbing a pair of the Reynolds joints (probably the lows), but I haven't heard a lot about them from people. You prefer the Hermans?

Unreal shoes, seriously. I think etnies has fucked up a lot, hell they have a bigger BMX team then their skate team last time I checked and it seems to show with most of the shoes, but these are honest to god perfect, at least for me. Whatever material is used for the toe cap creates a perfect flick, the toe is just pointy enough, there's no seams to rip, and it fits so well to your foot. Honestly the closest thing I think I could describe it to would be a dunk SB if it was made seamless and with a better insole and improved fit.

have some reynolds mids at the moment, but really missing the g6's. might have to switch back next time around.

Reynolds, reynolds, reynolds. I've had a couple pairs of G6 and its not really close in my opinion. The fit is much better because of the sock liner thing and they feel like they have more impact support. A little less boardfeel but you get used to it.

I gotta agree. Bought a couple pairs of the g6 and when I got the reynolds, I was blown away by how much better they felt. Closest thing to a perfect shoe I've had. Gonna try the lunar gatos next.

Is there a big difference in the regular gatos vs the skate gatos? I think you can find the soccer ones for around $50-75 but the skate ones on nikes site are posted at $120. I don't care how good a shoe is, $120 is way too much for fucking shoes.

$90 is box price, don't know why nike sells them for $120.

edit: $90 links.
