Great skate shoes

I bought these skate shoes. I've had two separate instances where I hurt my big toe. I was wearing Van hi-tops which don't protect the toes well. After my second incident, I looked for steel toe skate shoes. There were 3 different brands offering this but Rebok was the only one I could find in High Top. I was a bit embarrassed paying $90 for a shoe that would break on a skateboard, but was pleasantly surprised by the additional discount that brought the price down to $70. I received the shoes last night and was amazed at the quality. This is a bulkier shoe than what I'm used to (Vans) but after weighing they were only 3 ounces larger. The toe is amazing. Lots of room and protects your toes. You can smash it with a hammer and I'm pretty sure it will hold up. The soles of the boots are flat and have excellent tread for traction. I was better than ever locked in my skateboard. The inserts are nice and plush and felt great. Even with some 2 foot jumps and falls. Overall my foot feels extremely protected and I'm sure the rear end takes heel strikes very well. In terms of performance, these shoes were amazing. They are still flexible with a steel toe cap, fitting snugly to the foot and providing protection for your feet. I immediately felt the difference and felt more stable. I managed to pull off 2 tricks that I've been trying for several weeks. I'm sure it was because of how secure the shoe felt and the extra support it offered. My confidence has improved and I look forward to learning more. I have ordered two more pairs at the current price to replace when they wear out. I'm curious how long they last compared to my vans which usually last 3-4 months. I think they can last 6-12 months with quality. I will provide updates later. If like me you are looking for great high top skateboard shoes that protect your toes these are excellent.
