So what does everyone do about sk8 highs destroying their pinky toes? Do I remember correctly that the trick is to scrape down the area that rubs with an x-acto knife?

give up on trying to skate them.

seriously though, i wish i could be skating in them.  I'm a Blazer head and all, but that's because I can't really skate a sk8 hi... just too goddamn uncomfortable.  and my pinky toe will be in shreds.  i love when you hear something like the pinky thing, and it's across the board.  you can go to any state and a kid who wears those shoes will tell you about how fucked up his pinky toe is.  funny stuff

put band aids on your pinky toes.  it sounds ridiculous, because it IS ridiculous, but it will help for the time being.  then give up after that.

i love the way sk8 hi's look but yeah, it's such a widespread issue it's kind of nuts that vans with all their duracaps and insoles and technology yet they won't topple this problem.  doesn't seem like it would be difficult to change.

I don't remember this being an issue...it was just stiff at first...I'm gonna buy another pair after these blazers die 

[pootysnacks]

every pair of goddam sk8 highs ive worn have had those little threads on the inside that rub agains thte side of my pinky toe. fuck that shit! it never ahppened to me on blazers though. and sometimes i think its worse with certain socks that have big seams along the toes.

excellent

[idealhandmades]

you can use a dremel, or a lil scrap of griptape and elbow grease to get rid of the pinkytoe stitches inside the sk8hi and make them much more comfortably skateable. Sucks that you gotta take an extra step I guess, but I kinda like customizing and making tweaks to stuff to get it to feel exactly how you want. I always have to remove the heel stitch inisde their slipons/eras/authentics too.

& the waffle's still worth it.

Alas and alack, you've found me out, you big lumpy lump!
The black/white and black/pink shoes on the right are unreleased samples of the Emerica Templeton 3

ro$$ for 30

[MOE SYZLAK]

shop had a 3 hour long Half off sale today these went from $90 to $45.

[YoungJanitor]

I'm not a big fan of Supra (they have some realy good riders tho) but I have a second pair of Cubans and they realy fit perfecty. Skateable straight out of the box. Only negative side is that the insole is realy thin and don't take any impact. 

[VCR]

I dont really know what the difference is between the Cubans and the Cubas but man do the Cubas skate good. I have never owned Supras nor have I ever thought I would own a pair but they are seriously one of my favorite shoes I have skated in a long time.

[Rusty_Berrings]

Just ordered the Tommy Ellis Heelflips by ésmerikai. the Canvasuede upper and the vulcanized "dogshit" sole pattern look very promising.

[Durndle]

Got these Lakai Picos at Ross today for 25 bucks.

how do you like em? really want to try a pair
is there some secret Ross that I don't know about because people keep talking about these crazy good deals

jesus those ellingtons. great collection.

I'm skating the SW1 Stevie shoes. Bought for $30 in some silly net sale.

I have to say they're shit.

Feel like the shape of the shoe is twisting.

Hope they don't last too long.

Really? I thought I'd like them because of the dunks thing but they lack all the tweaks that make dunks great. Lack arch support. Crappy insole. No centering straps on the tongue.

I've been skating the Lynx s and Matt Millers lately and these Supras feel like they aren't skate shoes in comparison.

Horses for courses, I suppose. Probably my first and last ever Supras though.

[snaked plissken]

normal sk8 hi's do suck (for skating), but sk8 hi pros...the best. I have the Wade Speyer syndicate sk8 hi's and they are some of the best shoes i've ever skated.

DC wolf s. Best shoe i ever had so far. soooo comfy. the perfect shoe in every way. sexy af too.
