Need a review of
Emerica Reynolds Low Vulc
Emerica Romero (cup sole)
eS Accel Slim - skated a pair of the original Accels, but not read good things about the revamped version
Reynolds Vulc Lows are super dope for how cheap you can find them (I got my current ones for $25) but they’re a super basic shoe so don’t pay full price for them.
Mine are holding up insanely well, especially the heelflip area. I do a lot off heelflip variations and I’m very impressed at the lack of wear I’ve given them. The kickflip area is normal quality. It’s much better than say a Lakai Vulc (I swear the flick zone on those is paper thin) but not as durable as something like a Vans shoe that has Duracap.
My biggest issues with the shoe are the fact that the tongue always gets shoved to the side due to the shape combined with the lack of tongue centering bands, the plastic pieces in the heels broke right away and if I don’t play around with after putting them on it is uncomfortable and causes the shoe to slip off easily, and my last complaint is the insole.
The insoles are non removable, unless you tear them out, and they are very very very thin. They also don’t mold to your feet like a lot of modern Vulc shoes do these days. Also the toe box tapers in quite a bit so that along with the lack of molding/packing out caused me to go a half a size up. With my China 2s I went quite tight because those actually mold around your feet.
They also look great on foot. I’d say go got them if you can find a good deal.
