^^Can either of you guys give specifics of how the Suciu actually fits? Snug, loose, slim to the foot, narrow, wide? How is the heel lock?
[close]

Kind of an apples oranges comparison, but compared to the Busenitz ADV which I was well acquainted with, there's definitely more room/length in the toe box, though not enough to warrant going down a size.  Through the middle of the foot, the fit is very secure/stable feeling without feeling like it's squishing your foot. The internal bootie works similar to tongue centering straps, but is probably 3 or 4 inches longer.  My feet feel pretty locked in but I want to break the insoles in more before commenting on heel lock. 

My only gripe is the shape of the toe.  I'm sure it's just a matter of getting used to something different.  So far, so good.

Thanks jamerson. I appreciate it. Gnar'd.

started skating these gilbert crockett mids



got about 4 hours in them so far, they've stretched out quite a bit and feel great

I really like the notch in the back. all the mids/highs ive skated had straight collar that would dig into your heel, but these have a good balance between flex and support

How do you like them? I'd also like to get them since I like to sport new balance sneakers to avoid a narrow path.

They're awesome, I think my 7th pair of 533? Same results in each one, last really long and doesn't blow out.

Only shoe I have skated for more than a month, with the tons of kickflips I do, only thing that died were the laces.

Thanks for the reply. All tribe called quest jokes aside, do they fit true to size? None of my locals carry NB# so I'd be getting them online. Have you tried the Logan, do they fit true to size, and do they compare to any other cupsoles on the market? Appreciate your input!

They sent me sample size 9 in both, and finally got a pair of production made shoes. Both fit the same size when I wore them.

That's just my feet though, I know I can get any size 9 shoe and it'll fit. Don't matter the brand, I can buy/get sight unseen and all will be good.

Hard for me to compare the Logan and 533 with any other cup sole that's around. But I do know they're lightweight.

Vans old skool pro's . So far I have skated them for a week and most of the abuse has been taken by the sole. I really like them and as a plus, I got propeller with the shoes  :) The laces were far too long for the shoe so I cut them and then burned them with a lighter and I also took of the red tag just because I didn't like the way it looked with the tag on. This isn't my pair but they look very simillar and the photo's I took were too large to upload.
damn, those shoes are sexy, i usally don't like the mid top old schools but those look good.

Took the plunge. They arrived yesterday and I skated them for about an hour. Not really liking them so far, to be honest. The toecap makes flips tricks feel weird to me.

I had the same thing with mine, but once you keep skating them they will feel better. I thought mine were good, but not worth the money I paid for them

Gonz Adidas. I have been liking the white shoe feel when skating. I wouldn't casually wear these out though.

I see you.

Didn't grab the free shoes since I don't wear low tops
I bought these once the party was done though hahahaha

I also grabbed a free board.  It was nice of adidas to provide all that fee shit.

It was madness in there once everyone figured out the shoes and decks were free.

I think even the display sample colors of the navy/red/gum and maroon/white got taken too. Haha.

Started to skate the Suciu shoe today, legit shoe and insole. So good that I don't think i'll put in the FP gamechangers like I do in all my shoes.

Adiprene top part of the insole feels like a cat's tongue, grips your feet/socks.

That's a awesome fucking feature! I really hate when the insole is slippery, like in my busenitz pro's, i have to tie them tighter to feel my feet safe.
