so what’s the deal with these new skate half cabs? i saw a post a little back about trying them on but has anyone skated em yet? are they same sizing as the pros? that harsh wrap on the heel looks kind of wonky. yet I’m still interested in trying a pair.
My take:
+: look great (more like the classics), protect the tops and sides of your feet, snug and supportive, sturdy sole, grippy, extremely durable
-: collar and side panels are possibly
too sturdy, foot feels sorta flattened down when wearing them
+/-: require breaking in before skating, becoming ubiquitous at my local.
Solid and totally arbitrary 8.9/10 for me.
