The 440s don’t make my feet sore. But I’m just skating flat, popping a few ollies and never going longer than an hour.
But with my bad knees I’ve been trying to use the 808s more. Now those are shoes I don’t understand how regular folks skate. Sure, they’d be great if you’re jumping down shit, but they’re too heavy. Almost two months in and they’re still stiff too.
Is there a good middle ground between the 440 and 808? Like a cupsole with a slightly thicker sole but not all the extra junk and puffiness?
Also, a size 13 440 fits me better than a size 14 808. NB really messed up the sizing on that shoe. They run like a size small IMHO. I’d go 1.5 size up on them 🥴
