Great Looking Shoes
These skate shoes look absolutely killer. I was not previously familiar with the brand, but they feel as well made as any other shoe I've bought. Time will tell how they last, but I tend to go through shoes fairly quickly as a heavier guy. I'm happy to have these in my rotation.

Solid and Eye Catching
I chose the brown shoes because I thought the color and pattern looked great in the pics. Honestly was more than impressed with what I received. The color and pattern look great, and the fit perfectly.No complaints on comfort. Grip is good and sole seems well attached to the shoe.What I was not prepared for was the number of compliments I got on the shoes. I was repeatedly asked about where I got them and told how good they looked

Comfortable skate shoes with good grip and style
Really nice skate shoes in brown. I’m a bit fussy about shoes, because I have large heel bones, but these fit me right out of the box. Laced them up and put them on and I was ready to go. Best part of the test was at the end of the day when I wanted to kick them off and they kicked off easily, but not something that would happen accidentally. Very comfortable and a good deal. Good grips on the soles too. I wear a size 11.

Comfortable and looks good
These actually fit me much more comfortably in comparison to some other shoes designed for skating that I have. They are a great value for the money and are of really good quality. They also feel like they’d be able to stand up to the rigors of skateboarding. Stylish and also durable. I really appreciate that there’s another option out there for skating and for style.
