An excellent, durable skate shoe with only a few flaws
Emerica pro model shoes have always been my go-to for skating. Over the years I’ve worn and loved the Reynolds, Thomas, Templetons, Hsu’s and recently the Provosts. After skating in these for around 26 hours over the past week, I can definitely say the Dicksons are a welcome addition to the Emerica legacy. Here’s my personal rundown.Pros:-The suede uppers are sturdy and durable. There is the expected discoloration and light fraying in the ollie and kick/heelflip areas, but it still feels like there’s way more layers to dig through.-The rubber foxing around the toe bed is thick as a brick…and perfect.-The G6 insoles. Great all around for heel impact absorption, comfort, and can be replaced easily with new ones (for $20) if the originals get blown out.-The rubber underlay flick shield is very appreciated and a useful feature. However…Cons:-The suede that is stitched over the rubber flick shield has started to separate. It seems the stitching that is used to hold both of these together isn’t that strong, and I’m worried that I’ll eventually have to deal with a loose flap of suede while skating. Hopefully it’s just the top area of stitching and it stays somewhat in place.-The Lycra tongue straps are great for helping to hold your foot and the tongue stable, but if you do have wide feet like me they can feel constrictive. They will take some getting used to if you’re not used to having them in previous skate shoes.If you’re looking for great skate shoes, I highly recommend the Dicksons. Emerica always delivers with durable, quality skate shoes. I’m absolutely looking forward to skating the hell out of these to see how much mileage they’ll give me. When they give out, I have no problem paying for another pair.

Great Casual Shoe
My son loves these shoes. He says they fit him perfectly (size 11) and are very comfortable. His previous pair lasted 2 years, and that includes last summer spent in the wilds of Montana.

Easy to break into!
The shoes were tight at first but they were broken in within a few days and now they are very comfortable to wear and can go with any outfit.

Weak. Literally.
1-year review:Weakest skate shoes I've owned. I don't even skate anymore and the inner eyelets ripped out (through the leather and the backing) within the first month after only wearing them on one day a week. I'm on my feet all day, standing, indoors.Emerica said I was lacing them too tight and it was normal wear & tear, lol. Thanks...I said "screw it" and started wearing them everyday after fixing them with extra stitching and epoxy (which has held up).Six months later the outside of the left shoe blew out at the sole and now my pinky toe almost sticks out.Very thin, soft leather. I'd hate to have actually skated in them.Now they're my "I don't care" shoes.Three stars because they're comfortable and fit me, but I could have easily just bought some cheap canvas Vans or Keds that would have lasted way longer. I've had the same Adidas Sambas for, like, six years now. I'll just buy another pair of those next time.
