I have a pair of canvas Griffins I'm wearing for every day, not skating them, and they make so much god damn noise walking around. squeeking, farting air pockets, fucking ridiculous.
I have some MJ's from the same series(the duck one) and they feel super cheap, cardboard under the insole, thin suede. Not really feeling them. Probably not going to last long.
Edit: I have a pair of suede Griffins that I skate and like quite a bit, so I bought another pair through that Active sale, different color. Un-fucking-wearable. I just got them today and they fit like a completely different shoe and a size smaller at that. Not to mention the god damn flat 70" laces (I might be exaggerating a bit) that came with these make the shoe look like I'm in second grade with giant bows on my feet.
