Emerica’s Wino G6 Slip-On takes the classic slip-on aesthetic and makes it skate-ready, solving the challenges of skating in a slip-on shoe while keeping the laid-back vibe. Known for being comfy but sometimes lacking in support and durability, slip-ons needed a tech upgrade, and the Wino G6 delivers exactly that.
Skate-Ready Design: Built for Performance
• G6 Foam Insole: The big win here is the G6 foam footbed, a premium cushioning system that provides serious impact protection, which is rare for a slip-on. Whether you’re hitting gaps or landing big stairs, your feet will feel more protected compared to traditional slip-ons.
• Double-Wrapped Vulcanized Sole: This vulcanized sole construction is built to last. The double-wrapped foxing tape adds extra durability and improves boardfeel, so you get more flick and connection to the board without compromising longevity.
• Flat Triangle Tread: The low-profile triangle tread offers excellent grip, giving you that sensitive connection to the board while maintaining durability. It’s perfect for riders who want an aggressive grip that won’t wear down quickly.
Secure Fit and Support
One of the biggest challenges of slip-ons is keeping your foot in place during tricks, but Emerica’s Fit Heel Anchor system solves that problem. This system, combined with elastic gore bands across the tongue, ensures your foot stays securely locked in place, no matter how aggressive the session. The elastic Tuff Cuff around the collar adds support around the ankle bone, so you’re protected against any awkward landings or board hits while skating.
Durability and Protection
• Suede Upper: The main panels are suede, providing excellent durability where you need it most, like around the toe and ollie areas. This is crucial because slip-ons can wear out quickly from foot dragging, but double-stitched toe bumpers and an internal rubber underlay in the toe area make sure the Wino G6 Slip-On can handle the wear and tear.
• Canvas or Perforations: For breathability and comfort, the shoe uses canvas or perforations in key areas, so you won’t overheat during a long day of skating.
The Best of Both Worlds: Style and Skate Performance
The Wino G6 Slip-On brings the classic slip-on style to the world of skateboarding, offering all the benefits of a high-performance skate shoe. It’s lightweight, flexible, and incredibly comfortable to wear all day, yet it’s built to handle the demands of skating. Whether you’re cruising around town or throwing down on a ledge, you can trust this shoe to hold up without losing its easygoing vibe.
For Skaters Who Want to Keep It Casual, but Need Serious Performance
This shoe truly delivers the best of both worlds: it feels like a chill slip-on, but it’s ready for serious skateboarding. The durable construction, premium footbed, and secure fit all make the Wino G6 Slip-On one of the most versatile skate shoes out there — a great choice for skaters who want a comfy, stylish shoe that’s built to perform. Perfect for a day in the park or just skating around town, it’s an everyday shoe that lives up to its skateboarding roots.
