I wanna try some Club Cs, look pretty solid.

I'm yet to try Club C's but i've skated the Revenge/Revenge Plus etc. and liked them although the leather was not as durable as I hoped. Skated them without gluing the stitching though.

People who have skated regular Sambas: do you swap the insoles? Haven't had a pair in a while and thinking of skating some.

Yup. Whenever I'm in a bind and don't feel like prowling hard for cheap skate shoes I just go to the Adidas outlet when they have a sale (which is frequently) and get Sambas for like $40. Swap the insole and put some super glue on the stitching and they're great.

I just took some Club Cs out on my cruiser. They feel great and can be had for cheap in Oz.

Jordan 4s skate rly good, downside is they’re too expensive, I got these like a year ago and couldn’t bring myself to skate them but the scoop is just too good

No good skate shoes in my size on the Adidas sale but I got these for chillers. If they’re not too clunky and break in nicely I’ll definitely skate them at some point. Strap is probably coming off regardless as well.

Wore these around for a few months and just got a real session in on them. They skated great. I’ve got a Zoom SB insole in there and I gotta crank the laces down, but I gotta lace up nearly every shoe really tight.

I stuck some Vans Ultracush insoles in mine and they felt so much better than the original insoles. The Samba skates amazingly well

I've skated in Sambas since the 90's. I don't change shit, I just let'um ride. They're great once broken in.

Or did Lakai make a Reebok with the Staple?

I wonder how the sole on these is compared to a Workout? Not crazy about the shape on these, but really want to skate a white/gum with the white foam midsole but Workouts are too thick for me.

The leather on Reeboks tends to be really soft and blows through quick, if you're a mob guy doubly so.
Hey, hey, hey. Don't be mean. We don't have to be mean because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

I'm skating the Club C Revenge. Haven't tried the regular Club C's but I like my cupsoles thin and soft. Basically just slightly more supportive than a vulc. The Revenge C is good, the Puma Suede is perfect. Adidas Campus is great. But yeah the Workout are a little hard and thick for my liking.

That's true but that's what makes them feel so good on your feet! Personally it wasn't a huge issue for me because I don't go through shoes super fast.

obvious who inspired them but they look really clean. would rock as chillers
while cool-guying is a real phenomenon, studies show that 83% of all cool-guying incidents can be attributed to the cool-guyee being an awkward weirdo

I've got a pair of these. Skated in them once and loved the feel but the leather doesn't feel like it will last at all so I just kept em as a casual shoe.

Club C's are the best shoe I've ever skated
Grip really well period.
Flex good but maintain shape
Soles last a long time....

Yes the leather is soft but it lasted longer than my Ben G Dunks leather.
And if you look hard enough you can find em for 30 bucks

And they skate nice. Plus they are a good option for people like me who are struck with a wide foot.

No, but I have some on the go as chillers right now, and plan to skate some once the snow clears up. But I can safely say after 26 years of skating, they're good. I've been on the board and rolled with my newer ones and they seem as grippy as any skate shoes. Overall the upper and tongue are very deconstructed, there's not much to it, but I like that in a shoe.
