Anyone else feel like these fit super wide and about a half size to a full size too big? I’ve been skating em for about a month and the fit is just too off. Dope design but the 12 for sure fits and feels like 12.5 or 13.
Definitely not the Reynolds or G6 code Og's. Had a thick but manageable G6 insole Put in Reynolds Vulc low g6 insole and they feel great and bit roomy as it is a tad bit wide of a shoe. The entire upper seems to be moccasin style motif as the chillin villian would most like ride on this surreal looking emerica trips, edits and videos. Nice suede and easily breaks in like classic etnies, es and emericas
Solid shoe true to the emerica sole. Please bring back a vul low or accel slim or double fox taped vulc shoe for the true core soul skaters. "if you build it they will come" and in mother russia shoe rides you.
Amazing shoe if the heel didn’t slip
It’s another vulc shoe, but some things that make it unique. The first thing is that compared to some other vulcs like vans or blazers, these are crazy grippy. Personally I find this makes it hard to do tiny adjustments before a flick, but if you want as much grip as possible, these are way up there. I also find they’re pretty big but mainly on my right shoe. I think it may be a qc issue since I don’t have this problem on other shoes with one fitting bigger than the other. They’re also a bit on the heavier/bulkier side for a vulc. Boardfeel could be a tad better, but I figure this means more protection. I’ve landed primo a few times and it hurt, but it didn’t do much damage. Overall I like the shoes, but wouldn’t get em again because the combination of somewhat mid boardfeel, shoe being too big, and maybe TOO much grip, has made all flip tricks way harder to do casually. It’s good in one sense because it forces you to do super proper flip tricks, but when im skating lazily and just trynna chill, I find these grab too much.
Great **** shoe. Super comfy
