Killer! These are the most comfy and durable slip-ons out there! Use them to skate some but I actually use them on my mtb and just dirt bagging around town everyday. Have had 6+ pairs and only 1 have failed on me early and they took care of it right away with a warranty pair. Hate to even let people know, cause I don’t want them to sell out before I get around to ordering another pair. Don’t sleep on em.
NO COMPLAINTS, SHIRT FIT WELL AS WELL AS BEING DURABLE. EMERICA ALWAYS PROVIDES :)
ALSO TRUE TO SIZE OF CLOTHES
Light weight and comfortable. Good board feel. Keep ‘em crispy and wear them to the office or your cousins wedding. They look smart and they dress up nicely.
These are sold as the Pillar shoes but they aren't the same Pillars I got a few years ago, the style is very similar except on the back end by the heel its cut out for I guess better tip-toeing or whatever. Sadly that one cut out makes the shoe feel loose on the heels and my feet can easily slip out of them. They aren't as secure as the previous run and as a result they aren't as comfortable either. They're also notably stiffer than the last couple pairs I bought. I'm honestly a little disappointed because prior to the small changes they made I couldn't name a better shoe. Now I can name a few. Hence the 3 stars. Still nice shoes but I can see why the price had dropped so much. They feel like knock-offs.
It's a comfortable shoe. You can tell pretty immediately that its a thinner cupsole than the Wino Cup, its not quite as comfortable as that shoe but its still pretty comfortable. Its a bit narrower than the Wino as well. Neither of these things have been an issue for me, and when it comes to skating them I prefer the slight snug fit over the Wino which sometimes feel like my feet move around too much inside. I wear these to work daily but I'm not on my feet all day. I love having a casual looking shoe that I can hop on a board with spontaneously. I don't use these as my main skate shoe for planned sessions, but I feel like I could if I wanted to.
