Are DC Lynx 2's good skate shoes?  I'm debating buying a pair I saw on sale.

if they are anything like the lynx he's you might have to get a half size up. i have only tried them on and they feel amazing except snug so yeah a half size up. the sole is thick too. this was all about the he's, the 2's might be different

yeah, I got the Lynx 2's awhile ago, super good out of the box. Surprising nice board feel and the super suede just wouldn't wear down.

worth a try if they're cheap.

the only reason i dislike that company is half thier shoes look really bad and they have that lame winger symbol on the side. i heard they skate really well, alot of the guys on the shop team skate them and have no complaints except when i make fun of how bad they look.

i know there was a thread about them before, but anyone seen the jereme rogers shoe in real life?  the black and white ones look pretty dope.  not sure whether to get them or not.

those don't even look alike, the only similarity is the lace loops

don't be a dipshit.  The first shoe jamie puts out on fallen is called "the relapse?"  That should give you a hint, it's a direct copy of his circa shoes, and they all looked the same, so what's the difference? fuck!

og lynx shit on everything else. although when the he's came out i had 17 pairs in a row of them. it was like 3 years worth of shoes. now that i've been on the nike air classics for a while, i cant even believe how i could ollie in the lynx he's.. they are really really wide.

The Cole gif is a joke, the reynolds trick is sick, barley even know what Zumiez is since I'm from sweden, Relapse wasn't in the first line, nor is it a Thomas shoe, and except from the lacing it's almost identical to Lynx HE's and doesn't look anything like that shitty circa shoe...

who fucking cares what brand it is? how could i seem like i only skate the big set if people see me skating other stuff? the biggest stair i've ever ollied is 7, which is really fuckin small.... and i don't wear thight pants... i got that pair of fallens because they were cheap, 50% off, and the two other pairs of fallen i've skated skated really fucking good... I mean I don't think these are the best looking shoes, but they're deffinatly not ugly... people care waaaay too much about what brand not too wear...

the adidas are sadly(because they were the best shoes i ever bought) done. i am not getting fallens anyways and probably never will but if there was a pair i liked and they didn't feel like bricks i would get them. i could care less about the image they push or the image the kids who skate them push. i had emerica bosses and i don't jump down stairs and i have ellington supras now

I also hate bricks on my feet. I used to take the insoles out and slice tiny slices thru the cardboard. I'd cut about three horizontally by the balls of my feet, three more by the arch and heel, and one lengthwise. Then I'd bend them in every possible shape, even lengthwise, untill they bent easilly. Then I'd stick the insole back in and they'd feel like the best shoes ever.  Try it sometime. It works and helps alot with skating since you need to have a good feel for your board.
