Really awful...I like the white ones TwisT post.

I can associate Vans with this. The Cromer are a beatiful thing  :)

I really want those rapidwelds but their price makes me cringe. I feel like I'm just throwing money away if I pay over $55 for a shoe.

I reckon they would look absolutely ridiculous with jeans and khakis. Toe caps look cheap, not premium so I'm not sure why the price increase?

Suede is the #1 material for shoes, dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

I just wanna know why they tried to make the upper so durable when they're just gonna put it on the same flimsy vulc sole they've been using since the 60's. If your sole blows out in half the time as the upper then what's the point? Even Nike will give you more bang for your buck at $90

The Gilberts are great to skate. Recently I skated Chimas model and I really love everything about that shoe.

Probably my favourite part ever. Can't believe Stranger rode for (Underworld) Element. Best style ever.

This isn't relevant to the thread. I just want to point out how absurd this comment is. ^^

On topic I had some 112's. They were alright. Everyone seems to hate them, but they're Old Skool Pro's with 2mm of toe cap.
