The Lakai Pledge

[Lonechicken]

Anyone know of a wide Lakai shoe??

This probably won't help you much, but a couple of the lower end models I've gotten fit my wide feet so that I don't have to go up a half. The Carlo and the Pico. Camby and Marc, I have to go up like most non-Vans.

[Thefattony]

I really like all the XLK shoes

I am real stoked on the MJ XLK thats due out soon....

I just got a pair of owens and ive found that the Vulc Lakai shoes all run both bigger and wider than the XLKs of the same size, that is coming off 5 straight pairs of the Pico XLK that was my favorite shoe of all time ever, real bummed that they appear to have pulled it from the lineup

Anyone know what the widest Lakai model is?? I know the most narrow is the Griffins.

What about the Griffin XLK?? I want a pair of Lakai's, but every pair I've tried on are too narrow and every where in my area has the same models.

Models I've tried on include: The GuyMar, the newest MJ shoe, The Camby, and The Griffin.

[close]

If you think the Griffin is narrow, stay away from any XLK, they're way more narrow. That last Rick Howard shoe I couldn't even get on my foot.

[close]

Thanks for the bit of feedback. That shoe looks so good, too. All the color ways are great looking.

Anyone know of a wide Lakai shoe??

The Carlo was pretty wide, also that fake mid Marc Johnson shoe was on the wider side as well. I really liked that Marc.

[144p]

The Guymar is wider for sure.

Sorry meant he ZXVulcs (I had the suciu colorway).

bro i had the zx too, rodrigo tx colorway, shit was destroyed after 4 hours. i though it was only that colorway but apparently not.

[Xen]

The Guymar is wider for sure.

As is the Hawk model; was a toss up between the two, just rolled with the Hawk as it seemed a bit wider.

Thanks. I'll have to be on the lookout for those models in my area so I can try them on.

I tried both on. Neither of them are wide enough. I really want both of those shoes, too.

Completely agree Nallid. That Marc was actually one of my favorite shoes. For a basic looking vulc I thought it had a lot of subtle tech features and was a great skate shoe.

I have a couple pairs that haven't skated and dont really wear, they are just so heavy.

I tried them both on as well, GuyMar is a bit wider but it is one of the most uncomfortable shoes right out of the box.

MJs or Rileys?

Rileys for sure, damn good shoe

[cookieboy]

Anyone tried the owen with an fp insole? Is the insole removal in the owen?

[Allen.]

Is the insole removal in the owen?

Haven't tried them with an FP insole, but yes, the insole is removable.

Bump.

I saw there have been a few posts lately about Lakai.
Currently skating MJ lows. Pretty happy with how they skated after the first day.
Anybody skating the staple or one of the newer shoes they've put out?

New Staples are the shit. Those and the owens are my favorites. All of Lakai's newer shit has been top notch

I just saw that after I bought 2 pairs of the regular MJ's.  I'm old so I like cupsoles when I can get them.  Guess those might be my next shoes in a few months.

New Fremont XLKs look sooo fucking tight

[ZEBRA]

New Fremont XLKs look sooo fucking tight

I was just drooling over them in the UPCOMING SHOES thread. I'm just praying they will be wide enough for me.

All I've been buying lately is Lakai, just got the Flacos. No tounge centering straps. There's not even that little lace loop in the middle to half ass hold it in place. Seems solid though. Kind of wish they came with extra laces, but I get it, times are tough... Really though, laces, stickers, it's the little things that matter.

Hows the tread on Lakais these days? I bought some Riley Hawks like a year ago right when they came out and they skated great and had a really durable upper, but right when the tread looked like it was getting bare I ripped a hole through it and they were done.

Every other brand I can skate for like a week or two after the tread goes bare before ripping a hole through it.

A friend had the same issue on the Rileys, but the Staples I skated the tread lasted me a good 2 months.

excited

Huh, I'll have to give them another shot. Thanks

How's the fit on the new Staple? I'm gonna get the red ones, but last time I got an 8.5 in the V.A. Manchester cup and they felt a little big. I shift between 8 in Adidas and Converse and 8.5 in Nike SB (sometimes even a 9 in New Balance#) for reference.

[paraquat]

Skating these currently. They are great but I feel like they are going to fall apart quickly.

They fit TTS so I think 8.5 would be your best bet.

I saw some Fremonts this past weekend and they looked dope. One question though, have they moved factories again? The last Lakais I had (some Howards, rest in peace you magnificent bastards) were made in Korea but the Fremonts and some of the other Lakais I looked at were all from China. Just a sign of the times at Crailtap I guess?
