Shoe recommendation for both toe & ankle support

3 Upvotes

My job requires a LOT of walking but I often overextend my big toe. I really liked Vans Half Cabs but I have too large of a foot so the backs of them rip right away when I try to put my feet in them (...and before I get every other comment saying the same damn stupid thing, yes, the laces were absolutely loosened to the fullest extent without removing them).;

The Half Cabs had very good toe & ankle support (until the rip became too big from excessive walking) with the right balance of cushion & arch support; any suggestions for a similar shoe, especially one which won't rip in the back due to poor material quality?

Thanks!!

Super grateful to not just posses the first skate shoe that I couldn’t afford at 9 years old. More grateful that they’re signed and the grey/blue colorway, the black and red and black and blue colorway are on route too. All signed. Brings me back to seeing all the new shoes but maybe got one pair every 2 years. Super grateful 🙏🏻😁🛹

Straye Logan Puff help!

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Just got a pair of the Logan Puffs at my usual 10.5US size and they fit too tight - big toe gets pressed on the front of the toe box.

Then tried half a size up and I get heel slippage…

Has anyone had this issue? Do they pack out enough to keep the 10.5 or should I stick with the 11s and lace them a bit tighter?

Thanks!

Help with choosing

5 Upvotes

I’m looking for a new pair – I used to have OG Vans. I then switched to Puma Suede XL. I just love that chunky look. It’s just that mine wore out quickly. I’d now like to get a pair of Es Eccel, but my question is: are the OG ones or the ‘normal’ ones more similar to the Pumas? My second question is: does anyone know of any other good brands, apart from DC, Bershka and Osiris?

Ayuda con búsqueda de modelo!

Cuando era niño ma regalaron unas DC que eran parecidas a las Adidas Superstar pero la calidad de las DC era mejor o más premium y eran más delgadas y de corte bajo. La zapatilla era de color marrón oscuro y su puntera también y el cuero era parecido al de las superstar pero más elegante. Alguien podría ayudarme con la búsqueda del modelo? Recuerdo que me duraron muchos años y me gustaría encontrar algún par nuevamente. He generado una imagen con IA de como lucían más o menos

I know that they’re obviously Adios but loved these shoes back around 2007 - would love to find the style from back then and maybe something comparable from today. Thanks!

Was able to get some Axion KCK reissues some years ago when they made a comeback.

Which shoes did you get even tho you thought they will never be made again?

I had a few pairs of these in the late 90s. Bought from Dunham's in Madison, WI for $20 a pair. The soles were slick as shit but they lasted a while... Anyone else actually own them? Nike likes to pretend these never happened. There's so few photos of them out there, aside from a few of BAM rocking them at FDR.

FYI this is a mock up I did of the colorway I had. Can't find any images of them online, only a white/red pair on ebay at the moment.

Anyone else remember LOYAL LACES?

Back in 2008-09 when I skated as a kid, my friends and I would always pick up one of these bad boys with a new pair of skate shoes. I still have a lightly used pair of the neon tie-dye ones (6th from the right in the middle) but I also remember having the Rastafarian and bandana ones.

They seem to have been pretty much wiped off the face of the earth at this point, I was able to find one or two listings for the solid yellow and red ones, but otherwise any of the fancier ones seem to have lived their life. I'd love to someday find some old stock somewhere.

Lakai Telford reviews?

9 Upvotes

Anyone skated lakai Telford lows? How was the wear and tear? How was the skate feel? I've never skated anything other than the classic lakai shape and I'm curious if it feels the same. Thanks!

DC Shoes Pure Hi-Top is not included in its "Skate Shoes" page, so is it just a pair of normal sneakers? Just want to make sure it's durable for skating. Thanks!!

Adidas Forum 84 low - are they skate shoes? [question, no answer]

4 Upvotes

Pretty much just what I said in the title.

The shoes im putting an eye on are these:
https://www.adidas.de/forum-84-low-schuh/GX4567.html
I can't find anything about them, but I only see people talking about the ADV version, and im kinda just trying to figure out what that means, so I know that I need or don't need ADV forum's.

Thanks in advance!
