still running my TNT2 insoles from 3 years ago, fattest ass heel protection ever, I once skated a pair of crocs with them bitches in there
I tried the p-rod 2's today... too narrow but otherwise semi-decent. Addidas are basically indoor soccer shoes, but without the midsole padding my old Addidas indoor soccer shoes have. Puma indoor soccer shoes were better to skate than Addidas back when I was 12.
Those tnt2's might look good, will probably try them tomorrow. Guess it's those or the xlt's. eS and Emerica are out, as the eS ladd's contributed towards a 6 month perpetual injury. eS/Emerica need to pay someone $15 to google something better than the tiny g2 gel pad and padding that gets crushed down after a week, before I'll buy their stuff again. I like them cause they're a skate company, but they're almost as regular as Independent's "super light... not stupid light" ads. They spent more time on the stilabs g2 website than cutting an oval shape out of the cvs gel inserts 12 years ago.
The running shoe thing I posted wasn't totally serious, however Mizuno's 9oz shoes are probably lighter than any skate shoe and have more functional padding than all of them. The materials are just more modern. It makes them so much more comfortable, without being bulky. I think skate shoe companies have basically taken a step backwards from when I was in high school and the K1's came out.
