After giving up on the Fastbreaks, I tried out these DC Kalis.

I have a nice size bunion on my right big toe. Got it from a slam 7 or 8 years ago. While wearing Busenitz Pro. So I can't ever wear those again. My feet are also fairly wide.[/img]

Can you really get a bunion from one slam? I always blame mine on repeatedly jumping down an 8 set with shitty blown out vulcs as a kid but I’m not too sure. Bunions suck, mines slowly but surely getting worse. The Kalis S supported it for a while but the ball of my foot area is starting to give up in the sole.

Yes! It was a really awkward slam where my whole body weight was on the outside of my big toe. Bent it in a way it's not supposed to move. I instantly knew I was fucked. Kept me off the board for a couple months. And coming back was really painful. It's on my back foot, so pushing really hurt. I had to adopt a more flat footed push just to survive. And I've had a bunion ever since.
I actually bought a bunion corrector online recently. Doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Yeah. Perfect true to size. Same with the lows.

I want it right where my toes are. Nice toe cap shape. A little different compared to the lows.

I just got these in the mail, I kinda feel like an orderly at an asylum, or Freddy Mercury at Live AID. I need to get them dirty and maybe fill in the stripes

I definitely agree that the stripes would look sick colored, but once the color starts to fade that when it would fuck me up, Id have to color them in after every session

So instead I busted out these Joslins that I've been saving for a while. And I'm so glad I did. I've never had a shoe fit my foot so perfectly, ever. Like a glove, as they say. I only wore them around work for 2 days before skating them. The first day of skating was wild. No feeling. And really squeaky soles. But by the second session, they broke in, no more squeak. I'm loving them. All the support and protection I need. I've found my next shoe! I'm going to try not to, but if need be I would totally pay the $80 retail. I already signed up for an Etnies email list for 20% off first order and got 4 more pairs. I really hope now that the Joslin 2 is out they still keep the 1 around. I've already been skating them for 3 weeks and hardly any signs of wear. They'll easily last me 3 months or more.
 @Willie I remember you were looking for the Reynolds low replacement. This is it!


Oh shit! I was just thinking about trying to get a hold of some Maranas but maybe I need to try these first.

Good looking out, man! Thank you!

Can someone advice with Cons LL's fit? I had One Star CC before in my own size and they maybe a little narrow and just a bit long, but 1/2size smaller was too tight. Is it going to be same with LL's?

The Louies are kind of slim, but half size down from normal size is a perfect fit for me. I have skated 6 pairs in a row now

Ok, I got them in my size, will see how they fit. Should get them in a few days.

Just got mine in the mail today and wow what a great looking shoe! Wanted to grab the other color as well but sold out everywhere in my size(10.5). Wore em today for a couple hours and they feel a lot comfier than the lows imo. Grabbed another pair of the blacks to skate.

Could never chill in Blazer’s. They just suffocate your feet. Love the shoe to death, skating them right now after a year of GT’s and it’s a really nice difference having the protection and the durability of the soles.

But I take them off the moment I’m done skating and wear any other shoe during the day .

I've skated nothing but vans slip pros and winos for years, but I think the thin shoes are catching up to me. I'm thinking of pick up the emrica g6 winos, anyone know how much they'll protect my feet?

still a minimal upper, but the G6 insole is good and will help. I'd say similar but not as bulky in the heel as the newer vans Popcush

The past few months I was wearing nothing but emerica cups and vulcs for skating and chillers. Honestly the thin uppers and soles, both G6 and non did nothing for my feet. I've had my fill of vulcs, my feet and wallet cannot handle them sadly. Just bought some eS Tribos in August and my feet cannot be any happier. Definitely will be sticking with the eS reissues for now on.

It sucks cause I loved Emerica, but they are a sad shell of their former selves anymore.

I got a pair of laced wino G6s and have put them on ebay. They squeeze my toes and don't really support the middle of my foot. They seem to be ok made, comfier than the Dicksons (IMHO). I never really like the way emerica use cardboard under the insole though. Always seems a bit cheap. I was told its so SoleTech pay less tax on them, but this maybe bollox.
