There is no other shoe on the market like the wino cruiser. Please bring it back.
Just bought a second pair, the first pair didn't last more than a couple months, the back part of the shoe like cracked or basically fell apart inside of the shoe. I have a habit of slipping the shoes on instead of tying each time. IMO that's why I choose Emerica shoes in the first place for the additional elastic. I have tried a handful of different shoes and usually the back inner support piece breaks in half and then starts cutting into your heel. This shoe broke down faster and even more than other models. That being said it was too short of a timeline after getting used to a set up. So i'm going for another round and will be more cautious about slipping them on. Also probably worth mentioning i'm not riding street. I have been using these on a Summerboard and sometimes on a Freebord. I'd say that my preference would be "TILT G6 Vulc" but it seems discontinued.

These shoes are awesome, solid feel.. whether you just want to wear them or skate them..
I’ve been wearing these shoes for about 3 weeks and the cheap plastic lining inside the heel has already shattered. So now I can’t wear them without shards of plastic constantly digging in to my heels at every step. Haven’t even skated in them, just wearing them to work.
