I know im in the minority on this one, but i do not understand the crockett hype. They check most of the boxes for me too, high top, cupsole, wish there was more padding in the collar but it wasnt a deal breaker. I got a pair of the first drop, the black/black with white stitching, and they felt so horrible to skate in. The healthy toebox with the skinny ankle made them feel like clown shoes. And I feel like every time i see footage of someone wearing these, i think the same thing. I just could not find my flick on them, i dont think the wafflecup is for me. I'm glad to see everyone so hyped on a "modern classic" if you will, i just dont get it personally, maybe im getting old and out of touch.
