Few brands still produce sk8r shoes with puffed tongues without making them look silly. The DVS still has comfort, fit and style. And at a 34% discount (I think that was the discount I got on them) they were stolen. And men's US 10.5 is hard to find, especially on sale, when they're on sale, colors and sizes are usually out of reach for me. If you've ever worn DC, Glove, Etnies or DVS sk8 shoes with thick tongues then this is what you need in your shopping cart.
