Product Details
The Heritic is a blast from Emerica’s past, originally born in the early 2000s and now reintroduced with modern tech for today’s skating demands. This classic silhouette was designed as a no-nonsense, everyday skate shoe that could handle all the demands of street and park sessions, and the reissue stays true to that formula while adding updates for improved performance.

Durable Construction for Every Skate Session:
The Heritic features a double-stitched TPR rubber toe cap, designed to protect the shoe from flick damage. The TPR overlay acts as a built-in bumper that can take the repeated impact of kickflips and ollies without wearing out, giving you one less thing to worry about. To further reinforce its durability, the Heritic uses triple stitching in high-wear zones and a durable suede upper that stands up to constant abrasion, making this shoe a true workhorse.

Comfort and Support Built-In:
With a cupsole construction, the Heritic delivers more support and impact protection than a traditional vulc, while still keeping the shoe flexible and responsive. It also features an EVA foam footbed with arch support, giving you the comfort needed for long skate sessions. The shoe’s chunkier shape offers a more stable fit, a nod to the early-2000s style, and provides snug support without sacrificing comfort. A moderately padded tongue and collar add to the overall cushion while keeping the profile slim enough to maintain that technical look.

Classic Grip and Control:
The Heritic is equipped with a classic triangle and herringbone tread pattern for consistent grip and control on your board. Whether you’re hitting curbs, ledges, or skateparks, the tread keeps you in control through every trick, providing the reliability you need for everyday skating.

A Return to Form with Modern Touches:
For skaters who remember the Heritic from the early 2000s, this reissue is a nostalgic blast from the past, bringing back the reliable, tough design that made it a favorite. The balance between comfort and durability makes it perfect for daily use – from street skating to skatepark sessions. It’s a simple yet technical shoe that was built to handle skate abuse while providing everything you need to stay on top of your game.

Heretic

I absolutely love this shoe! And I absolutely loved the originals! Probably had five or six pairs back in the day. Thanks Emerica for bringing this shoe back!
Edit: I had to repost this review because I spelled "Emerica" wrong, and it was driving me nuts🤦🏻‍♂️

Wearing them as we speak

They’re great, feel great and look great. Sole tech is a very important brand in skateboarding and Emerica will always hold a special place in my heart. I still have the Stay Gold DVD and I watch it often. Please don’t let Nidecker forget the importance that sole tech has in the world of skate footwear. The context and contrast of these unique brands really puts into perspective how much big companies like Nike and Adidas need sole techs authenticity stemming from core skate culture. Or else we’ll lose sight of where we came from, and the story these shoes tell. Love you guys, keep shredding

Good quality but very narrow

Good shoes but extremely narrow if you have wide feet. Finally broke them in after a week but almost wanted to return them.

Dope !

First pair of real skate shoes I've bought in a while! These embody the style and feel of what durable yet comfortable shoe should be! Looks great on and off the board, and are not a clone of what everyone else wears now a days

Defected right shoe?

When I saw those, I got super happy because they reminded me of The Reynolds and always wanted a pair. They fit true to size. I put them on as soon they were delivered and right away I started feeling a piece of material bending outward like it was pressing on the right toe. I thought after breaking them in for a few days or week, it would go away, but It was getting somewhat worse whenever I put them on. And I don’t think Emerica would accept returns from wearing them the day they were delivered until now. I didn’t skate in them or anything, just by simply walking, it started happening. I own so many pairs of shoes and never had this happened, perhaps I have to break in the right shoe after two months? Idk. I wanted to give these shoes 5 stars because of the nostalgia and how awesome they look, but due to that problem with the right shoe, I’ll give it a two. Maybe I’ll get another pair
