Review on Lakai Limited Footwear Mens Riley Sports & Fitness and Skates, Skateboards & Scooters by Thomas Taylor

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I *really* wanted to like these shoes, but.

I ordered a set of 9, red and black. The length was ok, the shoes are more snug than usual. I returned the same day, details below. Pros: Killer red/black color scheme. I love the idea of a laceless and laceless hybrid. They seemed well made, although I haven't tested that. Cons: 2 major flaws. First, when they weren't tied, they slipped off their heels with every step. They remained firmly tied, but still slipped over the heel. It would be a bubble city. I think it's because the laces aren't as good as real lace-up shoes, so they can't secure them. Second, the heel lift is ridiculous. When your foot is in, your heel is over the top of the white sole that runs outside. You feel unsafe because your foot is not wrapped with rubber. It's also a good way to sprain your ankle. Conclusion: If you have narrow feet and like to wear high heels when skating, this is the place for you. Otherwise stay away.

Pros
  • Rubber sole
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
