Anyone have any feedback on 1010's vs 808's? Skated my 1010's for the first time, and at 39 was amazed how well my feet felt the next day. Curious which model has more support. Going to stick with 1010's unless someone has some knowledge I'm missing out on.
808 are the light for sure
How do they compare to 1010's?
I’m 40 in a few months, exclusively skate the 1010 and 808. I love both, for different purposes. basically The 1010s are lighter and have slightly more boardfeel, so better for skating low impact and quickfooted tricks, but my battered old feet can get sore stomping or running out of bails after a few hours. The 808’s are heavier and more clunky, but you can skate for longer in them. If you wanna go skate and get lost in the city all day, or huck something for 100 tries, then 808s. If y done a trick before but you wanna film it and can do it in an hour or two, the 1010s will probably be your best bet and will look better on camera.
Remember this is the opinion of a 40yo. Young people with young legs will probably have no problems with the 1010, they are great shoes. But the support in the 808 is undefeated. Most shoes hurt my feet just walking for a few hours, but i can wear the 808 all day.
Also remember the 808 fit tighter than the 1010, so yoh gotta buy em 1/2 size up.
TL/DR the 1010 if you’re here for a good time, the 808 if you’re here for a long time
