Does the Bruin react have like no flick/grab for anyone else or is that just me? Every time I kickflip in this shoe they rocket or my front foot just slides off the board. I’ve been skating these for almost 2 months and since day one my kickflips have been shit, recently I’ve been skating some really old spare shoes I’ve had and it’s night and day how much better flip tricks feel.
need to chime in here: No for me, skated mine for over a month, but i was worried that i‘d have the same problem you got since i thought the sole was rather thick/ high up in the toe. Took me a couple flips every session though to get it right!
Still very well functioning shoe for me
Maybe try a steeper board (i skated an FA board with that hella big nose and i think this might have helped in still finding the right flick with this shoe!
