To those lamenting the loss of '90s style cupsoles:

DVS, DC, Etnies, Osiris, etc. all have a plethora of cupsole shoes. I think this is what most non-skaters-who-wear-skate-shoes prefer. The kind they sell at PacSun. DVS even has a few near-decent looking ones, albeit signature models from people I've never heard of (probably some pro waterskier, but look like skate shoes nonetheless). Sure, other skaters will make fun you your DC Graffiks, but if you think about it, they're just generic court shoes with the Rudy Johnson 2 DC logo.

Back to the topic, I vote the old Rick Howard Selects. Guys as old as me shouldn't be blowing out shoes in a few days.

And even worse, because I was so stoked to get them (and were the most expensive skate shoes I ever bought)...

Had the Channy's also but I forced myself to think they were great.

his second model looked so good.

Those were the helium ones right? I had those and they were actually good. But I also liked the Nike Eques, so what the fuck do I know.

weird. All the ones I had lasted 2-3 weeks.

dankradschwag · « **Reply #133 on:** November 25, 2011, 03:09:07 PM »

2-3 weeks is still pretty bad

Was that Kennys shoe or Chanys? Can't remember. I had both. The other one had a muska like fit and feel but were terrible for skating, the heliums had koston 2 like quality with a heel that was about 4 inches off the ground.

Joe Pesci · « **Reply #137 on:** November 27, 2011, 10:43:28 AM »

i had a pair of the cons cts, the actual skate ones, all suede. shoe had a hole in the side by the 3rd time i skated them, also hated the shape and the rubber where you flick has a weird shitty pattern

they were always the cheapest shoes in the shop, and i was broke. ripped so fast and were awful. never liked vox in general

you must have had a defective pair, mine have lasted for a long time

2-3 weeks is still pretty bad

it's all relative to how much skating you're doing. if i skated everyday allday again(stoopid work) i could blow out a pair of shoes in 1-2 weeks, a deck in a few days(week tops), wheels in two weeks, and trucks in a month. if you aren't skating over five hours a day straight, flip trick after flip trick, trying to learn tricks, etc and you're cruising around then 2-3 weeks would be pretty bad

worst shoes i ever had have to be the lakai manchester. for a shoe that looked as good and had as much hype as it did, the shoe completely sucked. both shoes were blown out on the sides and the sole fell apart in chunks. that's the first and only time i've ever skated a pair of lakai's. i probably never will skate another pair
the dc truths were pretty bad for me. they felt too stiff and bulky and the sole was too thick and hard. the air bags also popped
i'll never skate a pair of bruins again after i broke my foot in them, but that's a mental thing

Fallen Clippers sucked major ass ripped in 3 weeks.

eS Accelerates. Heel fell out after a week of skating them.

dear god there are some ugly ass shoes in this thread

IanBZHD · « **Reply #144 on:** December 02, 2011, 09:41:30 AM »

Etnies Mikey Taylor 2, straight garbage. I dont even think he skated this shoe ever, the sole was almost convex. Absolutely no boardfeel even though its vulc.

Zurg · « **Reply #145 on:** December 02, 2011, 11:02:41 AM »

i know a lot of people won't agree, but i just cant get down with my busenitz or ronans. i enjoy wearing them around though

VictoriousOG · « **Reply #146 on:** December 02, 2011, 12:38:24 PM »

I liked Ronans, but Busenitz were god awful for me.

Eschaton · « **Reply #147 on:** December 03, 2011, 06:00:53 PM »

Yeah I wasn't a huge fan of the Busenitz. How high the Heel was made it weird.

They were great to skate in and looked good too, until half of my foot popped out from the side.

Still tried to get a new pair but couldn't find them anywhere.

Circa Thomas JT 204 tributes. The soles split in two down the middle, before i even had really skated them.

Stoop Kid · « **Reply #149 on:** December 04, 2011, 08:36:46 AM »

The Hsu 2 fusions for me. No board feel, as much as i skated in them they were always stiff, and the sole detached after a week and a half. Fugg Emerica ill stick to my vans.
