always loved that color way of the SLAP sticker, classic.

I'm finally starting to run low on Angel stickers.

Anyone have a pack or two still laying around they'd be willing to part with???

Guess I'm not the only one lacing up some Blazers, I just found these for 35$ at a nike outlet and had to get two pairs. I was under the impression that these were a QS and kinda limited, but I guess I'm wrong, still hyped tho.

I'm having trouble with my DC Matt Miller's. I have a hard time breaking them in, they still seem kinda stiff after 4 sessions, they pinch my toes slightly, the grip seems very average. To top it all off, I tweaked my ankle on the fourth session in them. Not badly, but it's swollen and looks kinda like a baby's foot. Probably be skating in a week or 2.

I'm getting some vulc shoes after a few years of strictly cupsoles. Some proper boardfeel to boost my confidence. Maybe that'll get me out of this slight slump I'm going through right now. I'm about to get some Busenitz vulcs and I just found a pair of Lakai slip ons real cheap. Let's see if these will do the trick.

Recently got these ZX Vulc in a shoe trade. Interesting shoe. Not much to look at (borderline UGLY), but skated better than I thought they would. What surprised me most was how thin they felt in the forefoot. You can feel everything in that area. The board feel is super sensitive there. Sole is grippy, heel is comfortable. I'm not a big fan of the overall fit of the shoe. IMO they fit big/roomy so if you like your shoes snug, go .5 size down.

It's a decent enough shoe and skates better than I thought it would just not a shoe that was made for my particular tastes, if that makes any sense.

Durability wise is hard to say yet. Haven't put too many hours on them. I know durability has been an issue overall with this shoe.

the "Two Up" ones right?  35 is sick, too bad they're canvas which kind of defeats the purpose of getting a pair of blazers to skate IMO

I had a pair of white canvas bruins a few years ago that surprised me and lasted a while, I got these out of nostalgia and I'm hoping hey will hold up for a while. If not I'll still have a fresh pair to rock  ;)

I'm sure we'd get some great reviews on the newest vulcs and in-depth evaluations on durability...

Say NO to vulcs.

I hate how the back of my vulcs get worn down from driving on my pedal foot. Anyone else?

the Lakai vulcs that i've been skating recently seem to be better than half the cup-soles out there.
the Camby mids don't feel as thick as the Griffens and the board feel is great but they feel thick enough.

Skated the Leo's once but I found these Busenitz today for 15 bucks so I'm probably gonna start skating them now.

Anyone know how to get a hold of vans for a warranty claim?
Got some old skools, and seriously within the first session the sole is coming unglued at the heel.

Thanks for the heads up Tate. I'll call them after the weekend.
Have you returned shoes to them before? You know the process? Was just curious.

I've only returned shoes to shops that I have bought from. They usually send them back and they send the shop a new/replacement pair.

I have never called a company and talked to them about warranty, maybe they will send you a shipping label to ship to them, or maybe you have to pay to ship to them?
