Gray, Ok, and Jay: Thanks for the suggestions. My local shops either had them but not in my size (11) or didnt have them at all.
Will likely grab from one of those shops you posted! If I’m gonna buy a big sports brand skate shoe, the least I can do is buy from a skate shop (who needs that % of money more than Adidas right now) if I’m going that route.
They look great and that Tactics review kind of sold me on them lol
What do you normally skate?
It’s a good shoe. I’ve talked about it more on here, making it seem as though I’m passionate about the specific model, when in truth I think it’s good. Maybe just behind the AVE pro for fave shoe I’ve had lately. At the least they last decently well.
I thought that review was pretty spot on. I don’t rip laces, but I’m not nearly as good as that reviewer. There is really nice, form structure under the arch, and if anything the shoe cambers my feet slightly inward, making an ankle roll, outward, feel unlikely.
Because I am a moron I note that although this shoe lasts, isn’t expensive, is available at shops I buy from, is comfortable enough, gf doesn’t hate it, skates decently....I’ll be getting something else eventually just to switch it up. Because why use the same thing that you know works?
