I'm an old man with ballerina feet so the 933 has been a godsend.

The 480 might be the most indestructible shoe I've skated in a decade.

Some how the adidas are always the right everything for me idk what it is

Especially the campus adv

They have good boardfeel, decent protection, very durable, decently comfortable and as Ben degros mentions in his reviews as a point “the flick” for me on adidas is usually very precise and that’s a major point for me in a shoe

I hate when the let down is good board feel but the flick is not there cause I’m stubborn to have to adjust my foot position for tricks I know how to do for years

I have wide ass feet too and the adidas are usually okay with that, like someone mentioned earlier even the nb 1010 are a tad slim for me
yes

Only Adidas I have worn are the Tekkira cups, and I like them, have been thinking about snagging a pair of the Busenitz

Best shoe out is the Half Cab Wafflecup. The perfect combination of comfort, protection, flick, fit/heel lock, board feel, and weight. Just not my favorite, aesthetically speaking.

Unfortunate considering this is the only quality that matters
