Also, i made a little break skating my busenitz and started skating in my blazer hi's i had for quite some time. I thought i couldnt skate in them again but i had quite good session in them. The are for sure the most durante shoe i've had but now that i've tried many different shoes i can feel the flaws... They have close to no impact absortion, the sole/insole is very hard and my feet starts to feel sore sooner. Also my pinky toes start to hurt after some hours skating them. No vantilation too. Still a great shoe, has my favourite grip ever, not ultra grippy but grips well still, deep, and barelly burns down.. The suede holds pretty good too and no major rip points. They last forever!
