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.

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

I’m about to order a pair.
[close]
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?
[close]

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.
[close]
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?
Here's a photo of my 11's for top down reference:

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.

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.

I'm seriously considering dropping $200 to get both colors the more I see them in photos! Stoked you got em!
You already wear them around? What's your consensus on em? Do they fit well and feel comfortable? Are you high right now? Do you ever get nervous?  (Those last two are a joke/meme I saw recently hahah)

Edit: my questions are answered in the containment thread haha

Also, you rocking the all white leather Accels that just came out? If so, how do they feel/fit compared to other recent or staple Accel colorways?

Nope. I was still wearing my slides when I took this pic. Haha. My friend was skating the leather accels.

I haven’t skated leather shoes in a while so if I skate these I hope I don’t have break them in too much. Or I may skate the SLAP 440 colorway since I ordered a pair as well and those are suede.

I send true to size and no complaints from me. They pads inside the heel collar really lock in your feet well inside the shoe.

Haha! I see. Slides come in clutch, been tempted to grab a pair from what I've seen on here from other posters.

Ah yes, the SLAP 440 colorway. Praise be to BFRD for that! I'm debating skating that one or a pair of Maswells next. Appreciate the info on the 1010, I'm truly considering it based on everyone's thoughts (including yours) but that $100 is taking a bit to get past haha

I don’t have the white leather but I have the black red white leather ones and they fit the same as the other Accel OGs I’ve bought in the last year or two. My true size fits perfect in Accel OGs

Funny, my foot felt safe as fuck in rowans and I have been committing to way more tricks in them. went back ot some old emerica cups (spanky) and my feet fell way more at risk.

I was loving them as i was skating. But when I got in my car and gave up for the day it became very apparent that I bruised up the balls (if thats what they're even called) of my feet. Especially the inner "ball" part of my back foot. I assume that was from being a poosay and not getting it back on the board on multiple occasions. I'm not going to give up on them because they definitely have great boardfeel. Its gotta be user error if Im going to be honest with myself.

I mean feet vary so don't hurt yourself trying to adapt. That shoe just works perfect for me is all im saying.

Thank you man, I really like being able to flex the soles of these for some tricks, so I would like to see them work out. I really dont skate parks with people very often so I think I was getting hyped and trying stuff I normally wouldn't. I dont know if a cupsole would of had the same outcome. I do know that landing back on the board would of though!  ;)

Emerica Dicksons. Heel cup is as floppy as other Emerica vulcs, my heel keeps rolling from side to side (partly my ankle problem, too). I've worn vulcs where my heel stays stable, though. The g6 insole is actually narrower than the interior of the shoe and I can feel the insole's outer edge actually rubbing my 5th toe. They use cardboard on the inside part of the sole. Flick feels awesome and I can see the shoe lasting longer than normally thanks to flickshield. Not buying Emericas in the future.

Once they're all scuffed up its less of a problem. When they're fresh i cant help but feel like an exchange student from italy.

This color of the Carroll is really nice in person. The image on the box shows it with a gum sole but it's all white. This is my 3rd pair of Lakai's and the other two sucked so I'm really hoping these work out. I wear 10.5 and had to get an 11, which is still snug - just a heads up.

Damn this actually made me laugh out loud.

On a side note i've been putting off getting a pair. There's cheap ones in yellow on a local shoe site, can't wear yellow but maybe i'll paint em.
