Anybody have any tips on how to keep the bottom of my sole from getting dirty?

I dont recall ever putting on anything Southpole in my life.

Does Brayden Szafranski have a shoe out anymore. He used to have a high and lowtop out. Now neither one is on the Emerica site. Hopefully he's just coming out with a new one soon.

This thread still exists, if anyone wants to ask more questions. Though it's own thread would get a faster response.

I'm considering buying a pair of Fallen Coronados- can anyone tell me how Fallen shoes generally size? I wear an 11 in Vans, 11 Nike, 10.5 Adidas, and 10.5 Lakai. Thanks in advance!

I got some Coronado's. I have samples and a regular released pair. They both ran true to size to me, Only problem is you might have to size up if you have narrow feet, it's tight on the toe area. But they stretched out since i skated in it. One of my favorite shoes out right now.

This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

From reading posts in this forum i have noticed that Americans (i think) all seem to have child sized feet, like us 8 or something, why is this? Are you really hobbits?

I always gotta choose between 12 and 13 because 12 1/2 is very rare.  It makes buying shoes online a gamble.

Great idea (in theory) that would never work (in reality). You basically just took half the Shoes &  gear section and tried making it into one thread.

I skated more pairs of thunders and I'm skating my first pair of indy's.

for me thunders break easier and sometimes don't do what you want to, but maybe that's the stock bushings.

I have these indy's for over a year and I'm happy with them.


my question:

Should i buy spitfire classics or streetburners for barcelona? and why?

When do the Szafranski's come out, the one's with the bells, whistles, straps and zippers.
