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.

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.

Well, first thing, I got my usual size, and i dont know if you did the same, that may result in a different experience. If you people have a wide feet go with a half size up for sure. They have the right lenght, but they are super narrow.
The ankle lock seems great since that plastic inner thing is hard as hell, and they feel pretty stable because of how thight they feel to the feet. Those are pig suede, so they may fell different from yours (which are leather).

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.
Would you recommend purchasing them? I've been seriously thinking about getting a pair.

The Slap Pal triumvirate of Moe, Coneklr and Art got me hyped to grab a pair of Lucas ADV. Haven't skated in them yet but I am digging the feel and fit.

Loved that shoe!  I still skate my black pair sometimes.  I always liked that color way too!

let me know how they skate. i just got another pair of Lucas pros for cheap so i gotta hold off on shoes for a while, but these were always tempting.

the Lucas ADV skates really well... it's a lil bit "tanky" compared to the Lucas Pro, but it'll last longer.  still a light(er) cupsole compared to most options out there.  it's also a little bit wider than the Lucas Pro. 

I think the Pro is definitely better...but, the ADV is a decent rebound/replacement to take away the hurt if you cant get your hands on the Pro

Been skating these Kyle Walker's since Friday, pics of toe after a shit ton of kickflips. The toe area is flexible and great, the heel is stiff and hard to break in.

wow tate you must have got a mean kickflip!

i skate my walkers for nearly a month now and the don't nearly look like yours in the toe and i kickflip a lot with that shoe....got a really good toe for kickflips. and after nearly a month of skating them (twice a week for a couple hours) the sole tread is in perfect condition....usually my sole goes bald rather quick.

i like the feel of the shoe a lot...insole is a little weird but nothing too bad!

Was wearing some suede non skate chucks that I was trying to skate but the heel slips like crazy, no matter how hard I tighten my shoes up. So I went back to a pair of star players I skated for a lil bit a couple months back.
EDIT: Holy shit sorry for the huge picture y'all haha

Haha yeah, I kickflip a lot, was skating a hip the other day was was trying fs/bs flips for a bit, so that pretty much blew out the toe.

Everything else on the shoe is fine, waffle cup is cool.

Might give another shoe a try soon, could go back to the tried and true NB#533 or some Accel slims.

definitely my favorite colorway of em too!  followed by the stan smith (wht/grn) and the classic blk/wht. 

I know I'm a broken record on this, but really wish they'd find a way to use the Pro's sprint-skin in another skate shoe.

It really helps keep the shape of the shoe and extends it's lifetime. Part of the allure for his new model (for me at least) is the breathability that the mesh brings though, which is pretty much the opposite of sprint skin.

Just put these on hold and made my own mediocre review


http://roarnstuff.tumblr.com/post/148852744298/servant-footwears-dagon-reviewmore-as-a

I'm sure I posted this already, but it got lost somehow. I'll admit that I'm not as concerned about animal cruelty as I should be, but it's great to see good, sturdy vegan shoes in the market. I hope I find these shoes in the market someday.

Right now, I'm wearing flip flops. Soon to don my dumb little Converse shoes to go skate again and make the most of this dull saturday.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I found the racquetball shoe Lucas's new shoe is based off of. Thought it would be cool to share:

Woahhhhh they barely changed a thing.

I loved the look of those Barci's at the time. I think it was Davis Torgerson that had a few tricks in them in some clip... I think they were kind of a take from etnies on the busenitz/soccer style.
This colorway is too sick.

nice review notjeff. I'd honestly be down to try a pair of these but I've never seen them in the wild and/or in a store ...
perhaps it's a living in asia thang?
