How tall does the sole feel on those things? It looks huge
Feels normal, doesn't feel high/tall at all, given that there isn't an insole in the traditional sense your foot sits lower. It looks way chunkier than it feels and there is plenty of flex, especially mid foot.
Are they comfortable? (Loved how comfy the Crockett 2s are)The insole being sewn in worry’s me. How do they skate?
Very comfortable, not much squish like the UltraCush. Mild arch support. They feel a bit long, like the TnTs did before the SGs (fuck that guy). Roomy toebox, good heel lock, especially when you lace the TOP eyelet, because, you know, that's what it's there for...some people's children were just never taught some shit they should know...
They have the same type of curve the Chima 2s and TnT Protos do (tried both on as well), not as pointy as the Walkers (which were too tight for me.
I've only rolled around to check board feel, a few kickflips/ollies and impossibles...they skate like new shoes, all that 'broken in out of the box' nonsense doesn't apply; there is plenty of sole flex but the outsole (if you rock/move left to right for example, is a tad rigid but it is a new shoe. Going to wear them around/to work, then skate them for real tomorrow night/Saturday. I'll post an update.
Fucking hilarious.
Shame you're not.
something about cream/off white and black together just looks wrong to me
I used to think it was weird, too, but the I picked up the TNT SGs (again, fuck that guy) in the mid off white checkerboard and really liked them, which is why I grabbed these (in addition to the other colorways sucking, tho the grape leaf is pretty sweet).
Cool tiny socks
Matched no shows for lows all day. Crews for mids. Fuck that tall sock low cut shoe business.
