I totally feel you about the tapered heel shape being sketchy. I broke my ankle wearing a skate shoe with a skinny, tapered heel and I'm convinced (no scientific proof) that it was the heel being skinny that allowed the ankle-roll to turn into a break... not mentioning the gross pilot error. Heel shape is now a BIG factor in how I select a shoe to skate in. Aside: Istanbul has cats like my city (Hamilton) has squirrels. They're everywhere!

I skate the exact same shoe. I love them entirely, they have more padding around the ankle than the average shoe, but you're right about breaking them in. The pop and flick feels amazing!

Haven't skated these but couldn't agree more an the Adidas shell-toes. I love the aesthetic of them and the flick, skated a ton of them in the 90s, but when I got the new ones I have never rolled my ankle so many times...even just walking around the yard! I like the look of these too, but can't do it because of my old ankles.
@Mafioso301 Жыл бұрын
I rolled my ankle in these. I loved them at first but I know I tend to develope a suspicion about shoes i roll my ankle in. I agree the flick and heel are great but the sole went out on me too soon which caused my foot to slide off the board and tweak pretty hard down a 4 stair but if I had more grip I feel like I would of just fell off the board and hit the ground, not roll my ankle. Either way they skated pretty good at first with FP insoles in. Swap them out when the sole is worn out. I had no pain and I liked the wide foot I always have trouble finding skateshoes wide enough. Im skating Blazers hightops now. Im probably never going back 😂😂😂

if within the many pairs of dunks ive bought had experienced the bottom wearing down like them, or es accel slims, then i wouldnt buy them again. NikeSB Dunks have the best sole ever. it doesnt wear down from shimmying foot, the heels dont wear down with the way i walk. dunks are a very solid built cupsole and good protection and not thinly structured like es accel slims. so for u to say these are like a techy dunk is wrong. maybe a blazer? if you check out ZOOM TRE, that is 100% a futuristic dunk that doesnt wear down, even the rubber mesh toecap was the best. why wouldnt nike make them anymore? because they last well. when they bring a dunk with rubber mesh toecap im gonna buy them bad boys.
