Thanks to Vans for the sample Kyle Walker's and eS/Kelly Hart for the kicks.

They're garbage and nothing like the originals. Most vulcs are more supportive than these. Every time I flicked i felt like the bottom of the shoe was bending in half.

Kind of felt that way too, I sort of felt it didn't give lateral support when you like bailed or jump off your board, I felt my foot moving around. The sides were thinly padded.

finally got around to skating in these things...swapped out the weird surf insoles for lunarlon's and they feel fine. typical vans shoe. surprisingly no ripping even after a few hours of purely flatground. i think i'll get a few weeks out of 'em before i get sick of getting dizzy everytime i look down at my feet. pretty grippy though i dig 'em.

I bought some Rowleys at Vans outlet and it was doing buy one get one free, the only other shoe that was my size and wasn't a nintendo collar was some white Vans like yours. They definitely don't looks very skateable. The grip is a joke. But maybe I'll give them a try.

these ones don't have the cloth-esque soles like the original ones they were putting out. these one's have normal waffle soles, but we'll see if they hold out.

Going to take a break on the NB# and take the Kyle Walker samples that I got from Vans a chance. Never skated the wafflecup before and it's been a while I skated in any type of Vans.

Put some black laces on, since I don't skate in white shoe laces.

The K Walks shoe looks like every non-pro shoe Vans made in the late 90's.

Wait wait. Are there Vans for surfing or is it a "lifestyle" thing? I really have to ask. Do people wear shoes when surfing???

Yeah, the writing in Barely Legal was always convoluted and never particularly erotic. Big Brother once interviewed the dude who used to write it.

Of all the threads on Slap, this is one I didn't imagine I'd have to quickly scroll through at work. This place can be a fucking minefield sometimes.

Ahh Barely Legal! My first proper foray into the wonderful world of porndom.

Hustler in those days always had a way about them that made the models appear as if they had spent the previous week neglecting all aspects of hygeine. I miss that grimy filthy look, and bush in general. The pussy game has become too perfected across the board.

Sloppy Hustler pussy lifer here.

Skated The K Walks today. The heel is very stiff and I guess that's the cupsole part, the toe area is the vulc area. That's very flexible.

Hopefully the toe area lasts a while longer than the side ollie area, since I never ripped a shoe before in the ollie area.

So far, they are skating well. First time skating wafflecup, grips good and flexible. Hyped on this Vans shoe.

Just got done with some Lakai Pico XLK, which were great shoes.  Getting back into some Dunk hi's feels great.  Pound for pound the greatest shoe (to me anyway).

Just bought those Hufnagels 2's at my local for half the price today. They are narrow as fuck, almost no dead space inside but i like that since with a couple of wears they will be perfect in my feet. I love the reflective H, suede feels great and overall construction seems good too. One of the best HUF's i had my hands on quality wise. Went to skate a bit in them, like 1 hour or soo, and so far so good. Flick is great since they are more on the pointy side and the impact protection is decent because they have a layer of ortholite below the insole (not a great insole tho). Only flaw I can point for now is the Herringbone thread pattern that should go forward, till the big toe part. That part is shallow and kinda slippery when setting up for tre flips and stuff. But it's not too bad. Overall they feel like a great replacement for my Project BA's.

Going back to Busenitz Pros, although these look way more purple than the pics led me to believe.

Skated them tonight and they were like an old friend. Great heel lock, board feel, and lateral stability.

Update us on how they hold their shape, how stable they are and how prone they make you feel to ankle rolls down the line. I have the white leather ones, but if they're not good in those three regards, I'd rather keep them fresh as chillers, looks so nice. Haven't really seen any reviews for them.

I believe all of Hufnagel's pro models on HUF have been cupsoles right?

Yup, even on DVS. Huf don't skate vulc, at least in his pro models.

I don't know why I liked these so much. Had 2 pairs of the black/gray.
