What is it that you cats generally dislike about Circa? I've had a few pairs over the years, cup and vulc, and can't say I had a bad time with them. Do they have a reputation or something? (serious question, not trying to instigate a flame war or anything)
On topic- I'll try any mid or high top our shop carries (mostly Lakai, Vans, had some Duffs, wearing Vox, about to try some Campus Highs)... once exception being a big fat pair of Reeboks I keep around for getting back on board due to recurring ankle sprains. Actually they're what I'll be wearing in a week when I'm back on board, then I'll finish off the Vox's I've been skating.
