Even though State are thin vulcs nowadays (they were slightly less thin a few years ago), their primary redeeming factor is that quality insole. It's 10 times better than every other stock insole out right now. I have a handful of pairs from old States I skated.
It's on par, if not better than the lunarlon Cons used to use before their shoes and insoles went to shit.
I wish they would use that cupsole on an actual upper and not that stupid Pacifica Van's knockoff. It needs to be on the Elgin, Salem, Mercer, or a similar shoe.
