Globe shoes
So as I've stated once before Globe skate shoes are pretty dope but what I failed to mention in my last post is all of the awesome technology tossed into globes bulkier shoes, although they don't look it, I've tried them and I must admit I'm a little biased towards larger shoes. However, these things feel like Straight up moon shoes, they give a ridiculous amount of leverage and have tons of material for when I footbrake down Super fat hills. Also for as bulky as they are they're super flexible and very breathable, I've never had that choked off, hot and sweaty feeling in these shoes and they feel flat out amazing, if you like bigger shoes go for globe hands down!
Globe shoes
I have only personally ridden through one pair of globes but since the majority are a bit bulkier than what I'm looking for the Motley's they make are AWESOME they're not super padded so heavy flip trickin' can be rough on em but they absorb shock really well and have really awesome traction, and are super breathable. In fact now that I think about it I have no clue what I'm talking about globe shoes are amazing, haha. I just rip through shoes like a mad man.
When you're not skating these shoes are awesome to wear around casually because they feel pre-worn in since they're just so flexible and surprisingly durable, they lasted me about a month before they hit my shoe morgue and would've lasted longer had I not rode them in the rain so much. If you enjoy super thin shoes with low profiles definitely pick up a pair of these. Globe also has some pretty awesome shoes for those of you that dig bulkier shoes that I'm sure you wouldn't be tearing through too terribly quick considering how durable the Motley's were.
Fallen Skate shoes
Well Fallen skate shoes have definitely strived to set themselves apart from most other skate shoes. Although I've only burned through a couple pairs, I was quite impressed with the chiefs and my Forte's Which are their most popular shoes out right now, they have a really comfy insole although I had to use my extra insoles because I have really crusty feet and pretty ridiculous arches, but they do absorb impact well and no matter how gross my feet have gotten on long rides they've never started smelling (the shoes at least).
Mine have held up wonderfully in fact my Chief's are actually still good and I had them for a good 2 months (Which is way longer than most shoes last me haha). Also the mid tops don't crush or fold as bad as most mid tops or wear from slipping when throwing them on without laces so if you're a mid top fan I would say ride with Fallens. If something catches your eye pick a pair up, I recommend them as my Chiefs and Fortes will always have a special place in my shoe collection.
Etnies skate shoes
Etnies Skate shoes have been around for quite some time and for a reason. They're a straight up skate shoe. I actually have foot problems something fierce and normally I have to throw in extra insoles to make sure I don't jack up my feet but I've never had to when I've worn Etnies. So if you're looking for a pair of shoes you can thrash without thrashing your feet then be sure to grab a pair of these suckers! Not only do these shoes do the job for skating but they're really making a difference compared to most shoes because Etnies usually tries using recycled materials which the trees are sure to thank you for.
Etnies Shoes
Etnies shoes are another amazing line that have only disappointed me once, and once only. I unfortunately just got a bad shoe and I sent it in and they replaced it immediately, they seem to have a pretty good policy if you're unfortunate enough to pick up a janky shoe. Beside that though Etnies creates some real works of art that are not only super comfy on your tootsies but will hold up to any beating you can throw at em.
Etnies has come quite some way in fact some of the shoes are a part of their buy a shoe plant a tree collection, every shoe made (which are eco friendly) they plant a tree. Since so much of the Rainforest has been destroyed due to farming these past couple of years Etnies has been making an effort to help out and keep the forests looking nice, if they seem like something you'd rock, I'd say grab one of these just for the cause but other than that, be sure to look around, Etnies has a ton of styles and colors which are pretty much the only deciding factor in getting one of these amazingly crafted shoes.
Emerica Skate shoes
Emerica trys their best to branch out and come up with some stylish casual shoes and have something you can flip on and off, but to be honest, they really shine when they stick to their roots. Their skate shoes are phenomenal and I've never had a problem with them unlike a lot of other brands which seem to just unseem, or have soles fall out, stitching tear apart like paper in a shredder, or have to constantly tie to together my poorly protected laces.
Not only are Emerica skate shoes amazingly durable but with most of their slim designs which although unfortunate for you really wide footed people make it so your have more board feel, think really disgustingly stylish callouses on your feet but still maintain a perfect amount of padding to keep you from hurting your feet, and you're never going to find a moccasin status shoe that keeps your feet feelin' like they just got back from a motel 6 with Megan Fox which in my eyes is exactly what Emerica delivers in almost all of their shoes, at least their true skate shoes. If you love your feet as much as you love the sport be sure to give our Emerica's a look and I'm sure we won't dissapoint, there's something for everyone.
Emerica Shoes
Oh lord, Spring or not, these shoes are for ANY time of year, and by any time I mean right now. I haven't tried all of these shoes but the Hsu is my all time favorite shoes and I've burnt through a fair share of Reynolds, Jinxes, and Romeros. I also have yet to be dissapointed and if you don't know the brand at all you definitely need to pick up a pair, just find something that LOOKS like something you'd normally wear and I near guarantee you'll like them more than most other skate shoes.
Almost all Emerica shoes are decked out with really high tech insoles that reduce odor, wick sweat, vent well, conform to your feet, and absorb shock amazingly. Most are really well padded as well and the only one's I've had a problem with padding wise are the Winos but they're more of a casual shoe. I love that they try to create a shoe that's stylish and slim as well as be amazingly comfortable, take tons of abuse, and keep you from wanting to do handstands around school because you can't take walking around on your bruised and blistered feet. Pick and pair up and fall in love.
Skate shoes?
Well, it's spring time again, and we know how much all of you skate folk love your shoes so we took some initiative and went out and ordered all of the hot new skate shoes from some of the top skate shoe brands such as Lakai, Globe, DVS, DC, Etnies, Adio, Emerica, Es, Etc. (If I named them all we'd never get on with the rest of the post). Let me tell you, I just got my new Emerica Low cut Hsu's and there's nothing like some new skate shoes to skate in.
Not only are most of these shoes hot and new but a lot of brands have gone to new lengths to make more eco friendly shoes such as Ipath and habitat with their hemp/bio shoes and water based glues. As well as more durable and less bulky constructions like my Hsu's for example which are triple stitched and although look like a slim shoe are actually quite padded and have an amazing insole that keep my shoes from smellin', feet from sweating, heels from bruising, and most importantly they're comfortable as all get out, look around for your favorite brand and find something that looks nice in a color you like and I'm sure whatever you find you'll be sure to love.
