(TLDR: looks great but wears out quickly and needs insoles for comfort) Very fashionable shoe but if you are a skater these shoes wear out FAST. I wouldn't recommend them for comfort reasons either. If you need arch support, bring insoles. I skate to and from work so I use these shoes a bit and within a week my balance foot was worn like this (photo). Whether you need shoes to get your next paycheck or want a pair of nice shoes, this is for you. If you want real skateboard shoes, look elsewhere.
