How are they feeling? Are they cushy or stripped down? How's the ankle support?

I haven’t actually skated them yet so no real review. They are similar to the Sucius to me in terms of cush level, the insole isn’t as thick though

The insole is pretty thin, but the cupsole/midsole is nice. I put my FP game changers in there. I am having some mild heel lock issues, but that goes away when I lace them tighter with the higher lace holes.

Decided to take the Reynolds on a trip abroad, so the shoe is on all day.
They suck as chillers/commuters. Walking distances makes them rub at places on my feet.
I know they will rock as skate shoes though. The fit is wide but snug. Sole is stable. Nice puffy tongue protecting my feet.

Goes to show how feet differ. I had mine on for like 20 days straight on a trip. Skating and walking 20+ km per day.

Only problem was that they ended up smelling absolutely fucking terrible (more like shit and piss than sweat) so I had to buy new shoes in Paris. I managed to get rid of the stench with some shoe refresher spray and they were awesome after that until I retired them about a week ago.

No rubbing even in the beginning. Best shoes for my feet. They feel pretty much perfect straight out the box, which is rare for me. I do usually break in all my shoes easily by wearing them to work and going around and about short distances. The pair I wore on my trip had only a few weeks worth of light wear and skating on them.

Also they didn’t bag out for me at all. Wore through the sole and hot glued the uppers. They were awesome till the end unlike most shoes.

Got a full session in on some of the Emerica Americanas. I’m really into them.  Not as comfortable as the tnt advance prototype I had but maybe they just need broken in. They seem to be holding strong with that pig suede. Like barely look scuffed. Did start to break laces though. Kinda wish they put this sole on a wino slip. Cup slip.

If you're ever trying to get stank out of shoes again, try putting them in a plastic bag and throwing them in the freezer. Ideally you wanna do 24 hours in there but overnight will work too. It freezes all of the bacteria that's causing the smell and kills them off. The plastic bag is key because it keeps them from frosting over too much and getting a bunch of unwanted moisture in your shoes.

I’ve tried that before and it never worked for me.  Now I used some ancient odor remover spray my friend had. Absolutely soaked them in it. Smelled like flowers afterwards and the terrible smell of shit never came back. Worked much better than I ever would have thought.

Maybe there was something evil in those particular shoes? I freeze my stinkers all the time and it works for me.

Could be. I'm generally a smelly boi, so I can stench up stuff real bad. I've tried the freezer method and baking soda and whatnot numerous times to salvage some of my favorite shoes but it has never worked. From now on I shall douse them with textile refresher and if that fails I'll have to look up what that dutch stuff was i used at my friend's cuz that shit worked so amazingly well. I was sure the shoes were done cuz it was the worst smell ever.

Saw these on Ebay for cheap and decided to try something a little different.

Duane Peters Dravens, and I wrote some Hunns lyrics on there. Also ripped out the stock insole and put some Dr Scholl's memory foams in.

They have that fuzzy bottom, but it's wearing away and becoming more skateable :)

Let me preface this post with the fact that I am slightly inebriated, very uneducated and I havent read any papers or done any research at all, or read your post really.
