here's a little review on the shoes im pretty much done skating, huf lo classics. probably been reviewed to death but this is my perspective on them.

these pictures are about 5 coming into 6 weeks in and imo theyre pretty much done, for context i usually try to get an hour in after work on a weekday if possible and decent sessions on the weekend.

so first up pricing and fit, i got these for £25 on sale and i believe they retail at around £55-65 depending on store/cw. fitting wise they fit true to size however they dug the fuck into my Achilles for the first few sessions so i had to butcher the fuck out of the heel area with a razorblade to counter that, and they felt super stiff too. flicking was also initially weird with the whole rubber toecap however after roughly a week of skating them they were broken in, fit fine and the flick was good.

durability wise theyre about what you'd expect, thin shoe suede all around with a little layer of some weird suedeish fabric underneath. i was basically through that in about 3 weeks with an ollie hole on the side panel which ive been patching up to make them last a little longer. the grip of the soles were good and i had no problems however they did start wearing through at about the end of a month skating them which is definitely the quickest i've went through a sole. the laces were also snapped clean on the second session which was slightly disappointing.

my overall verdict would be that while it's an aesthetically pleasing shoe and (when broken in atleast) they skate well however for myself i only really got a good 2 weeks or so of what i'd say is peak skatability with the shoe and after that it starts deteriorating and becoming floppy. for £25 i cant really complain but at the same time it feels like the shoe itself is closer quality wise to the sale price point than it is retail. probably wouldnt recommend them overall.

You're crazy if you think anyone will read this. They're huf classics

if it can potentially help someone then whats wrong with writing a little review? they might not make that exact model anymore but plenty of places still have them in stock and evidently a few people have read it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They were designed for mall walkers so they can take people out Ben Hur-style if things are getting too crowded.

They need to make non passport regular runs of that model. I have the vans paradoxxx that kinda looks like those right now and I could def fuck with some vulc versions.

I’ve been wearing a pair of the paradoxxx just as normal shoes for a bit, trying to break them in. When I first put them on they felt crazy. So stiff and thick. Maybe I’m just too used to the vulcs.
