good thin shoe
« on: April 24, 2013, 12:13:17 PM »
i'm wanting to get a good thin shoe for summer. i've got the adidas booz but they are a bit thick. does adidas make a good thin shoe like the nike stephan?

Booze Vulc, or maybe the Adi Ease
Look I'm not selling anything that doesn't have my jizz on it. I don't care how much is offered.

adi eases are amazing (especially suede ones), but they feel nothing like a busenitz sole/shape, if that's what you're into. pico xlks or supra stacks might be a bit closer.. at least from what i've tried. still cup, still a bit high in the heel like a busenitz, but thinner.

The Adidas Seeley's are basically their version of the Janoski, except they're much better.
I recommend the Lucas Puig's, perfect thin cupsole for summer time.

Adidas - adi-ease
Vans - era pro. Pretty much anything that's vulcanized with suede/canvas uppers from vans.
Emerica - reynolds cruisers
Gravis filters and dylan slip ons if you can find them
DC - tonic
Converse - sea star

if by "thin" you mean really soft and flexible, maybe give the fallen "easy" a go. other than that, the gravis filters are thin as fuck.

totally forgot the emerica laced.

so my vote would go to fallen "the easy", emerica laced and gravis filter, in that order.

i was favoring the puig's after looking into it more. think i will order them. a cup soul would be better for the rough roads on my way to work.

You won't be disappointed my friend, such a good shoe, and they last quite long for such a minimal shoe.

I agree, love how the sprint skin gives reinforcement, without being bulky.
Be sure to super glue the stitching around the toe cap and you are good for a while!

Got some stage 4's right now and they feel super nice to skate in. Good amount of board feel, but also a good amount of cushioning for your feet at the same time.

Are the Puig's good in the impact department? I've just finished skating a pair of Vans SPV and I never wan't to feel that much board feel again.

yea they are good, except they last all of two weeks.
This has me cracking up, what exactly does Black Flag have to do with measuring your dick starting behind ya nuts?

Skateboarding is nothing but a game to find the right fits to appear like you're a proportional human being instead of a midget or a giant.

I just bought Laced after wanting another pair for a long time, and damn if they aren't painful, I had completely forgotten about that collar. But that cupsole is still great.
take what small comfort there may be left
seize what you love and damn all the rest

They're definitely one of the best thin shoes on the market. I remember getting blisters from the collar for a couple WEEKS after the sole was already broken in.

I put supra foam insoles in them, and they are way more comfortable. The insoles that they come with are just basic insoles. The support is good, but Id say that the shoe favors board feel over impact.

i?m skating the fallen yorks right now......if you got that kind of aggro flick on kickflips they wont last too good, but other than that, they feel really great for skating!
but keep in mind: they are pretty thin- not vans authentic thin or something, but well!
