Christian i got an Idea, make a section where you look for old brands like Circa, Vita, Sens, Simple, Airwalks, you know 90s-00s shoes and do reviews of them. cheers Buddy!
Check out Footprint if you can. Not necessarily cheap depending on which type you get but I've used em the last few years and love em. They make it so you can skate vulcanized shoes and still be able to walk the next day ;) i think Christian's reviewed them before too, go through the early videos
Yeah Footprint is definitely what you should go for. They have a lot of insoles, I'd reommend you the Gamechangers. At first they feel weird but with time they mold to your feet, so they are extremely comfortable. I use them even for walking at this point. They are great for impact and you can also feel your board quite well. Just don't stack them like he did lol replace the stock ones.
Dude yeah, you ripped the shoe in the exact same place as me. The stitches completely ripped apart and my heelflips made the eyelet rip off too. Great review! I'm gonna check out your shop bc I went through 3 laces in 2 months LOL
Man you gotta get some SB Dunk Highs with suede they are my favorite skate shoes because dunks last long time and they stay stiff pretty long time and the high top version gives more confidence 😍
The skate era classics are my fav shoes of all time..& I've been skating since 86'. Yeah, I'm old. But I don't skate old.. Well, maybe a little bit. Anyways, I still love these damn shoes & I'd recommend them to anyone who likes skating in vans. They made them better in all the ways I always wanted them to.
@@christianflores Sure sorta, but there's some key differences. The heel support is better bc of the extra suede around the heel & the ankle cushioning.
Tbh for me, these vans felt like the best ones I've personally ever skated. I usually skate impact, and usually my vans shoes kinda hurt, but these felt quite sturdy for a vulcanized shoe, plus the build of the shank and the sharp edges of the soles. But then again, I got them a half a size smaller by accident and the old skool versions. I just wish I got a size 11 not a 10.5
Agreed even the canvas is much more durable than the original. I usually destroy the canvas on the first day with original vans and I’m holding up about a month now
@@christianflores Cool, that sounds interesting. I'm skating eS Symbols at the moment and have started using shoe goo on it. It seems less durable than the eS Accel OG on the toes. (And have been trying kickflips like crazy). Buuuut, that was kind of expected, as there's literally less material there to wear off.
I haven't fucked with the era, but I have been using the Rowan pro and I love them. I own 3 pairs now. And it was my first pair of Vans that I used to skate.
Just say not sponsored.shop. thats all you gotta say, very simple, thats it. And i love you, this is a very short one, very easy to do. i know your dedicated to the comment section but im not trying to make you write all that comment if youre writing this thats crazy. k thats it were done love you bye
I feel like you could benefit from doing some feet strengthening exercises. I just grabbed the slip ons and impact protection is really good for a vulc
@@christianflores I don’t jump down anything crazy, but I’ll slip out and strike my heel when bailing awkward. I’ve just found more cushioning isn’t necessarily the best way to protect the fascia. I could dm you some videos on Instagram that might be a helpful place to start. I mean my feet get pretty beat up too but I’ve just found the slip ons to offer oddly good protection compared to lakais or the terrible strayes I was skating
Let’s see the Reebok workout and workout plus!!!! Classic shoe that lots of skate shoes have used for design. My friend has some of the dgk one form way back and they would have been soo nice to skate.
Christian skate the jdi af1 they lasted me 2 years of skating and They are Air Force ones so the bottom has air in it so the protection for landing is really good
I'm going to try these as a replacement for my sb janoskis. I have also tried skating in regular canvas vans slip-ons...well I completely destroyed those after one session (huge holes in the toe cap), these with the suede toe caps seem like they'd last more abuse while still being a light shoe with good board feel. I also recently got the etnies joslins, good and comfy shoe, but too bulky and most importantly too narrow for my wide feet.
If you want a seriously sticky sole try out Last resort AB. They pretty much skate how Vans wish their shoes skated. It's great to see a new skater owned brand shaking up the shoe market too.
Hey friend, what is the average lifespan of this skateboarding model? In my country, vans are expensive, it would be interesting to last at least 3 months.
dude i skate my vans sk8 highs since january and still going. honesty im thinking about only skating the sk8 highs from now on. ( The shoes still skate ok but the sole seperated from the sued on the kick flip area, im not iven good at kickflips my heel flips are way higher and cleaner)
I bought both the era pros and the authentic pros I’m my opinion the authentic don’t hold up as good for heelflips but if you main kick flips they hold up nicely now if you main heelflips like I do then you might like the era pros better
I haven’t been skating these, but been skating the new skate Half Cabs for about a month. I’m with you in that they basically feel like the same shoe. I just think the suede seems more durable. And I like the straps on the tongue. Anyways, sick review as always dude!
Hm. Maybe. I might have just been feeling my heel flips lately. Lol. The padding around your ankle. Is basically nothing. There is non. Lol. It’s just canvas.
I thought that I would ask a question for the simple fact of asking. AT most points in your video you mention that the impact performance was an issue for you. Seldom do I hear anything of the sort when it comes to that portion of the review. You never seem to mention that this could be more of a preference and less of a shoe expectation. I would expect it from the FP shoes because that is their selling point. Still, if you know that you didn't have the channel, and didn't have to give a truthful review...which I love about your channel...would you not just tell your friends...I like to sit on a marshmallow when I am skating so I double up on the insole regardless. maybe it's time to think about the perfect insert and how to get that Not Sponsored Insert Money. Again just thinking out loud
Aight, need some ideas from someone. I'm like a 99% percent transition skater; very little flipping going on for me. The only part of my shoes that get worn down is the sole. Anyone got any tricks to "re-grip" the bottoms of my shoes. I'm thinking something like rubber cement. Something thin enough to where it won't make the shoe feel heavy and awkward, but heavy enough to where it won't come off every session. I've yet to find something that works.
It would be sick to see a review on the Vans Crockett Pro High, they seem like a great alternative to the sk8-hi for people who can’t wear them because of the hotspot
Every pair of sk8-hi’s I’ve had has had a really bad hotspot just below the pinky toe because of the seam on that edge. I’ve never been able to wear them for more than a couple hours at a time because of it.
Hey Christian it’s me Christian I wanted to ask you if you could try the Lakai Manchester ore the globe Sabre shoe it would be a pleasure Much love Christian
