the high telfords look nice, what else matters?

[Rusty Champignon]

I had the blueprint ones a while ago, they were really good, although the sole didn't last very long, but they do feel good and look really nice as well

[EastCoastLove]

I had the jensen low model
""
I did like them but the sole was really stiff and didnt loosen up too much after they broke in

they do skate nice though, I would say get them

[MFS]

All Lakais fall apart way to fast. I had a pair of marianos that lasted a day.

[bbk]

I have to Ballz Out as chill shoes, they're dope, I'll probably never skate them cause I really like them and I need  my skateshoes to sit on like a sock pretty much and they'll look shitty is I tie 'em on that tight...

[MFS]

I should have phrased that "every pair of lakais i have had". Being one of the most popular skate shoe brands im sure there doing something right.

[Randozzi]

had one pair skated them twice then gave them away. way too stiff for me. haven't had a pair of Lakais fall apart on me, just the sole wear fast.

[metsuri]

I too had the Royal Family colorway and yes, the sole is way too stiff for me to even think about skating them. If you're into vulc stuff, don't get these for skating. They look really good, though.

The new telfords are better.

[wake and bacon]

telford hi's just don't work well either imo. too stiff.

Does anyone has tried the new Telfords XLK?
I know the first one had a really bad reputation, but one can hope they have improved their shit now with the xlk.
Furthermore, do you guys know if those were made on the old or new factory?

I'm thinking about getting those for cheap, but I'd like to have some feedback before.

New Lakai is up to par the big corps like Nike in terms of durability. Get 'em, support our brands.

The thing is that those are from holiday 2011 collection, I don't know if it was the new factory yet, that's why I asked.

dont know about the upper, but you should be good on the sole being that its xlk

XLK is the way to go, breaks in fast, they're pretty comfy, and you get a nice amount of boardfeel.  Although this thread is from 2008...
