After a while without any Busenitz after skating them for years, I decided to try these out.  Haven't skated them yet but so far am really happy with how they fit/feel.  Thanks to the dudes who told me to stay tts.


These look disgusting without the tongue over the pants

Who’s enjoying their pair of Lakai Carroll re-issues ? How’s the fit ?

I’m about to order a pair.

I’m about to order a pair.
I have the black/blue pair and they feel good! Comfortable but not too squishy/floppy. It feels like a cupsole but it's not too hard and rigid for a cupsole, either. They feel secure on my foot and I don't tie them super tight to feel that way. I'd say TTS but some people feel like they need to go 0.5 size up. I order the same size as I do in the Atlantic and Proto that I tried last year, which is a similar but slightly narrow fit (in my opinion). Have you had any Lakai cups in the past?

My last pair of Lakai’s were either Biebel’s first pro shoe or the Carroll 4 bubs in black leather, so it’s been about 13-14 years since i’ve put my foot in a Lakai.

I have to factor in an ankle brace and my narrowish foot. If it helps:

My 9.5 NB 288’s are perfect for walking and chilling, but too narrow for my brace and a 10 feels too long. In DC (which has been my go-to for 10 or so years) i’m a 10 for pretty much everything except 9.5 when they made the Wes Kremer vulc shoe. Kalis OG’s feel quite wide for me at 10, but too short at 9.5. Kalis lites feel a bit short at 10. My Emerica Reynolds G6 were 9.5 and felt fine. Adidas: nothing fits properly in any size except for the Busenitz in 10.

Oh okay! They're definitely different from the cups back then.
The Carrol doesn't feel too narrow but not too wide either from heel to toe.  Some people felt like they needed to go 0.5 size up since they were a little snug for them. I'm not sure how an ankle brace could fit I'm these, as I've never worn one before in my life with a shoe. The heel/top of foot around the ankle doesn't feel super tight but it's not super roomy, it could work with a brace. The only limiting factor, may be the tongue straps, since it may give less to accommodate the brace?

Thanks for the pic and the info, it really helps. The opening looks like it could accomodate my brace well enough. Really like the toe shape, looks like it has a good flick.

Campus Vulc 2s. Not the best shoes I’ve had, but they were cheap. Had to throw in solarsofts from an old pair of nikes because the stock insole is not an insole.

Can I still get on the 440 bandwagon though? I’d be more than happy to, they look cool.

Edit: just looked and they’re sold out apparently. Oh well.
That being said, that exact shoe in that exact colorway, but with “shalom” embroidered on the heel tab would probably mark this historic moment appropriately. Just putting this thought out there.

The Carroll reissue fits similar to most DC cups in terms of size, ie. Legacy Slim. Not as snug as Kalis Lite, though I wear the same size for all three. I consider it TTS.
