Very glad I got these,  the toe box doesn't look as stumpy in bigger sizes, looks a little more balanced.

They feel about a half size bigger than most shoes. I am usually a UK 10.5/EU45 and could have probably fit into 10s.

I bought those as well plus the high top versions and agree with the little extra room in the front of the big toe. I bought 10's my normal size but did try on a 9.5 but felt too tight for me in the pinky toe. But I always prefer extra room in mine, can't wear. Tight shoes, so my tts was perfect.

Had shoulder surgery back in November and I’ve spent a good part of my time just stockpiling gear. Hyped to finally skate these once I get the green light from my Doc! :)
Edit: Can’t seem to figure out why the picture looks like that but it probably has to do with me being on mobile :/

Would you say they are similar to cons sizing? I really wanna grab the navy/black pair but have no where that I could try them on

I´m trying my best to tell myself that I don´t need them at the moment haha. I wouldn´t skate them anyway because I only do cupsoles these days, but that leather inner just looks so comfy.

So are these essentially just Louies, but with fancier materials? Anyone skated both?

have both and didn’t even think of this comparison until now. I guess the shape is similar but other than that the build is different in every aspect I’d say. Thickness of foxing, different rubber, heavier suede, the weight of canvas backing the suede to hold shape, midsole, insole, eyelet panel, laces, leather liner. Fit and finish is just more premium, LL feels like a traditional vulc.

your problem is that when you look down at your feet to kickflip you're looking at the kyle walker pro 2

Vans Sk8 Lows - love them, still breaking them in. Also in shot - house slippers, a glimpse of NB 990v5 (best chill shoes), my wife's sparkly Doc's, Hudson Dress Shoes, and Reebok Revenge's (might skate those too)

Just got these Gamma's and they feel pretty good out of the box. I like that the upper is fairly low profile. Looking forward to skating these!

I really REALLY hope they do more leather colorways of this shoe, the profile of this shoe just looks so much better in leather than suede. Also because this shoe looks good with leather and there aren't a lot of leather shoes coming from emerica at the moment

^ Those and the Black/Gum Gammas went live either today or over the past couple days on the Emerica site (USA). Should be in some shops already, I hope!

The classic version looked and felt pretty good when I tried them on, but will hold off to see if they go on sale or at least check the feel of the pro vs the classic.

Are they the pro versions - just look like it from the toe?

I have both classics and pros. First I got the pros and I was unhappy with how tight they were in the toebox and how high your heel/arch sits on the popcush insole. So I stretched em out with the good old shoe stretcher and changed the insole to some OrthoLites out of some Converse and now they are prefect.  Still a wee snug (perfect for skating) but comfortable enough to wear all day at work. 

Then I ordered the classics and right from the start they were extremely comfortable. I have been choosing them over the pros quite frequently. 

Just ordered another pair of black/white Sk8 low pros from Familia since they were on sale for 38$ shipped.  Shout out to all my captains in the Sale Gear Thread.

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of the tongue. Oh, my God. It even has a toecap.

After skating pretty much Vans exclusively for like 1 year I'm stoked about these ones.
Comfy since the first moment I tried them and i thought: "Why the fuck I skate Vans?"

its okay to be a masochist
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo
