Are the straps necessary for them to stay on your foot?

[close]

Strap holds up great. Regular slip ons would always hurt top of my foot when they were new and when they loosen up they never felt secure. Love the design that under the strap its regular stiched in tongue. Adds so much comfort right from the start.

take pic of said tongue? Are there centering straps for it? Seems like its a little bulky around the collar/tongue with the collar padding too. Kinda weird.. minimal paneling/slip on but cup hybrid sole and strap/tongue paneling

[NowhereInLife]

Do we go up 1/2 size on the Booz Vulc 2s like with the OGs?

[fredgallSOTY]

im sorry those Kyle Walker 2s are the worst looking skate shoe ive seen in a while

i feel like they skate good but i just couldnt pull the trigger
much respect honestly

yeah. Suede and construction seems decent enough but it’s a pretty bare bones vulc I wouldn’t pay full retail for. IMO.

cool thanks gnarred

[TheBoognish]

Black 1010s. Feel great. Fit tts.

I’m getting the white ones tomorrow, but damn these are sexy. My wallet hopes I don’t walk out with a pair of each.

How’s the comfort ?

Seconded, Velcro as the main closure is a no-go for me

There were $23 pairs on eBay (just like the nb 440s) like a month ago. Probably could find em for cheap somewhere.

Tongue is pretty slim and it has little padding. It also has centering straps. Can't really rock them without strap tho. I wouldn't say its that bulky, atleast not for me. Not for everybody for sure but i'm stoked.

Cushioning seems like anything Vans makes with Popcush. Didn't really notice anything different compared to other Vans vulc shoes.

I wore them for twelve hours yesterday. Probably the most comfortable shoe I own. Lots of support.

yes. That’s where I got my pair from And haven’t really even worn them

[yourbreakfsat]

I will accept any US 9 shoes that you guys are sitting on, and in turn I will pay you with the sense of pride and accomplishment.

[Bubblegum Tate]

Quick target run today to break in the 1010’s.

[Paperclip20]

Tiago's. Haven't broken them in yet but they feel fantastic

[handsclapanin]

My 6 year run of nothing but Emerica Reynolds has come to an end.
Onto some Cons Fastbreak.
I know Cons sizing is all over the place. But these are TTS. Got a 9.5, same as what I wore in Emerica, and they fit good.
The sole is great. Plenty of protection. But still good board feel.
The upper is somewhat lacking in padding, for me anyways.
I have flat, fairly wide feet. But I'm having to crank these laces to keep my foot from sliding around. Then once I start skating and my feet start sweating, I have to re tighten them. Full on Rambo lace kit (do the kids still say that?). Not the best look. I'm sure alot of this is due to the smooth leather inside the collar of the shoe. I'm guessing the all suede versions would be better in this regard.
The synthetic material on the upper is nice and breathable. But not very durable.
Laces got shredded quick.
I'm not the type to use after market insoles. They seem to make the shoe too tight or my foot is too high in the shoe. But for those of you who do; these shoes have a glued in insole.
I probably wouldn't buy another pair; but I'm not hating them.

[Acky Jacky]

How did you blow through the inside of your right shoe before the outside of either? What is that from? I went half size down in the Fastbreaks, they feel a little awkward but I think a half size up would have been too big.

Attempt #27 below. Burned right through it

Damn good luck next time, you got it!

[GoneWithTheSchwinn]

Damn, so close on a few of those! You got it!

Standard fast break laces are too skinny

I had this exact model and just hated how they skated. It’s like the toe box is shorter than the older run. Could have been the material considering the suede ones I had skated great.

[wake and bacon]

I legitimately can not imagine being okay with looking down at my feet and seeing that short stumpy chodey toe box

This, although they look cool on other peoples feet

Haven’t had Fastbreaks in 10 years, went through about 3 pairs back to back around then, and I don’t remember the toebox or laces looking anything like that. Loved the shoe and been on the fence of returning, but they look way different looking down now. Funny enough my Fastbreak run was also right after going through the OG Reynolds3.

[Firebert]

fastbreak 83s with lunarlon toes def. do not look like that - I have a smaller foot (8.5US) and the toe on mine looks way longer.

That battle was so good, it even had rhythm! We need footage of when you stick it on your next visit.

You're both talking about the skate specific Fastbreaks right?
I've been eyeing them and they seem like a perfect shoe for me, but if these ones pictured are the new skate ones then they definitely look thinned out and less supportive than I imagined.
Also, yes, the skinny laces are not a good look on these shoes. C'mon Converse.
