Post the shoes you're wearing.

those angeledis midtops look soooo sick!

My Crockett Mids finally gave up, Wife gave me a SPoT gift card for Christmas, so I went and tried on a lot of different stuff. I'm a total noob & have only really skated in Vans, wanted to try something different. Based on a friend who has been raving about them, and the recent #1 rank in Ripped Laces SSOTY, I chose a pair of Sucius. VERY different from my Vans, of course, bit off to a good start!!!

My local kept having great sales so i went a lil crazy with the shelltoes, got the nb# from ebay.

Are the Trahan's good? I heard they skate like shoes from 2004.

the pair I skated was ungodly stiff (even for a cupsole) and upper never really broke in. they were also super hot. at least they are really stable / protective

Have not skated them yet, they are really stiff so I have been walking around in them in hopes to break them in. Might give them a go this weekend tho

[Hash Slinging Slasher]

The pair I've got have softened up a little - I've been wearing them day to day for about two weeks (but work in an office so mainly sitting around, not much walking about) and when laced up tight they are proper sturdy.   I don't think I'm going to skate them until the weather picks up (so about April/May) as they're nice winter sneaks, and given that the UK is as wet as an otters pocket at the moment the chance to skate is nearly non existant

So they fill with sand if you step off pavement for even one second to make sure it gets all in your couch or bed.

2 years ago i was at this village party near the beach, i was drunk as fuck and i went to pee in the beach. I was looking behind to see if there was people and then comes a wave and wets me to the knees. Then my friends go home, leaving me with my female friends (i was to drunk to make any type of hook-up conversation with them) in a place of 2h of public transports + 45 mins on feet from home. I wait till the morning to go home, arrive at 12pm and just fall asleep immediately. When i wake up at middle of afternoon i feel all this sand over my bed. It was the motherfucking cuffs that were full of sand. True Story. (I still cuff my pants tho)

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

I went in a crazy shoe scientist endeavor again and felt in need to share with you guys.
I had this pair of Project BA's in home that after breaking in felt too loose to skate in. They feel about half a size too big so yesterday i was wondering how i could make them "skateable" again. I Picked up the ortholite insoles of my past pair of BA's and made a pillow on the back that push my feet to the front making it snug again. It's stitched to the bottom of the stock insole and the sides of the shoe. It's barelly noticeable when on foot, i just need to buy some new black sharpies to paint it better. It feels alright in the foot but i have too test yet how it performs (it's raining for about a week).

[art hellman]

after skating them 3 times or so, I'm not into the Match Courts at all.  the top of the mid top is hard and digs into my ankle at exactly the worst spot.  as they are breaking in they continue to fit worse and worse.  also, i cant get used to the rubber toe at all.  feels like skating in bricks, despite the soles and sidewalls being thin.

Anyone care to share how the Huf Gillette fits? For comparison, I've been wearing a Busenitz Vulc in 9 lately.

Snug.  But for reference I'm an 8.5 in the busenitz and an 8.5 in the Gillette

Picked up the IW dunk, fit's like shit. Hopefully skates better.

[360 frip]

How come? Isn't it basically a dunk?

[Bubblegum Tate]

^
Tongue is horrible, heel area feels like cardboard. No way these should $95. For a "slimmer" type shoe. It's stiff as hell. Dunks (OG) are perfect out the box. Great fit and feel. Still gonna give them a try though.

They cut out the good stuff in the OG dunk, I get that's the purpose. But should have made it $65, for what's it really worth.

The new insole looks decent but I don't even skate in stock insoles.

[Frosty178]

Wow. I'll just stick to OG Dunks then. Thanks for the feedback.

I skated in them a little today, feels a little broke in! You can tell right away that's it's way slimmer than the OG dunk when you step on your board.

Still prefer the OG dunk. That shoe has it all.

[shit_for_brains]

No offense man but in 1992 you looked like a cool teenage Puerto Rican lesbian.

This is a confusing, funny conversation.

Shoe-wise, I'm goin' corporate these days:


Currently skating the NB Stratfords, they feel great.  I could only get them in size 9 though and it's a real cramp since I'm usually size 9.5.  Really looking forward to skating the OG Silas SLR below them, it's one of my favourite shoes, discontinued of course.  I have two other pairs but I like their colourways too much to skate in; this pair is simple enough to where I won't regret skating in them.
