I know a lot of people hate on what DC has become, and I dont really like the fact that they are buying themselves an allstar line up, and kicking people like Pj off. But everyone saying they only make shit shoes need to skate a pair of the Toniks, I bought a pair cause they were on sale for $20 and they are holding up well, and skate really good also. Theres also a few other models they have out that dont look bad either. The Bristols and landaus, both look like they would be good to skate. I mean there are other companies that I would rather support like Fallen, Lakai, and emerica. Its just hard to support them when the last couple pairs of lakais I have bought have basically fallen apart at the seams, and I bought a pair of fallen fortes recently and they skated really awesome until the sole started falling to pieces, but that was my first pair of fallens so maybe I just got a bum pair or something.
