Skated the Knox 600 for the first time today. Break-in time was pretty nonexistent, apart from a bit of stepping around at home yesterday.
I don't know man, these shoes just might be the best shoes I've ever skated.
Might need a couple of sessions more to write that down in blood, but all I'm saying is that they are f*cking awesome. The fit is pretty much perfect, the sole provides ample protection but still offers great boardfeel, the overall feel of the shoe is light and well-balanced, the grip is really nice, what can I say, a great, great product. When I originally jumped on the NB# train I was stoked first on the 440 low and then the 508, which are both great shoes, but this one just takes it up another notch. And yeah, they are basically instantly skateable. No need to walk around on them for days. Just go.
If I had to come up with a criticism, it would probably only be the absence of tongue straps. But that's not really an issue. I only noticed that the tongue of my left shoe had moved a bit when I was taking the shoes off after the session.
Very happy with this shoe. Hats off, NB#.
