When i tried these shoes I was amazed by the comfort they provide for skating .The design is sleek and stylish with a perfect fit. The shoes are lightweight, making it easier to keep my feet on the board. The purple accents add a nice pop of color to these black shoes. The only downside is that they are not as durable as some other skate shoes, but they make up for it in comfort and style. Overall, a great purchase for any skateboarder..
