Love shoe design and look everything. All I wear is emerica. But the heel doesn't fit. Foot kept slipping out. And it's like an inshore heel compared to the tilt g6 vults I normally wear. Super awkward to get use to. Wore a day around house and hate the feel. Returning monday
Despite this being a negative review I won't diss Emerica being "the Brand" I grew up into and love since my childhood but guys be aware this shoe runs too large my foot like floats inside if you plan to buy these shoes to skate like I did poor me then just get them half or a full size smaller not sure whats wrong with Braden's feet I love the guy hes a beast but these shoes are like one size larger than the size you'd expect to get I cant caution enough about this.
Amazing shoe and at a great price. The high quality build and great comfort make this shoe a must have! I absolutely love the dark blue.
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
3 weeks on the board so far in these. Well built, you can tell it's a premium skate shoe compared to lower price point stuff. This was actually my first vulc shoe ever skated in, always been a cup sole guy but I wanted to support Braden so I made the switch. It's actually more cushioned feel than my last few cup soles (swift 1.5's, and Decenzo's) , the insole is chunky and squishy. Heavier than I was used to, but more bottom heavier feel. Biggest difference if it's your first vulc is the shoe has a larger footprint area when you are looking down at your feet on the board as there is additional wide wrapping on the sole. This makes it flick more off the rubber wrapping initially than with a cup you get more suede cause the sole doesn't stick out as much and wears down quicker. I'll be honest the board break in is taking longer than I'd like to get my flick back, but these things are heavy duty and nice and feel good wearing them. My previous assumption that vulc is not as comfy is not true. The sole is more flexy overall, but the insole makes up for it. Agree you could go down half a size as my heel is lifting a little more than I'm used to, but not a deal breaker. Go for it and support this young man.
Really good. Super cushion and thick. If you have bad knees or heels/do impact ****, these are perfect. Board feel is great. They are a bit heavier than normal emericas, but I ended up liking it for skating.
Only thing is the empact insole maybe has too much arch support for me personally, I wish it was more flat like the G6. but also may just have to break em in more.
