how do they skate? can get a good deal on them but wary about the lack of padding on the ankles

These shoes are not for pussies and fun as hell to skate.  Who needs padding!

if you're prepared to never bail any trick ever, even so much as a kickflip on flat, they're awesome.

One of my favorite shoes too skate, but they make every other shoe after them feel like D3s. Even other vans.

They aren't even that bad. I've never had Leo Romeros shoe but I think they'd hurt your feet more. Also, I feel like the suede Eras have a little more padding.

I skated in a pair of eras and they actually lasted for about a week (i was expecting blow out in two or three days), but that was a really good week of skating. it seems like EVERYONE in nyc is either skating in them or just wearing them around but i haven't had a pair since those first ones.

one-upping is rad.  so is beaming.  both so unquestionably identify the kooks...saves a lot of wasted time/small talk.  you instantly know who to avoid.

Chukka boots are surprisingly good to skate.... if you like tying your shoes tight.

They're good until you sprain your ankle, land primo, or the board lands on your toe.

I like skating Era's. And like MFS said, they make all other shoes feel like D3's. It's a gift and a curse.

im skating them know and this couldnt be more true. When I got era's after the authentics they even felt way thicker. yeah and they are not fun to kickflip in at all.
