Ok so out of those shoes that i said what would be the top 3?
Im thinking either chiefs, one of the lakais, and the rippers. but tell me if im right.

i know it wasn't on your list, and i don't really like when people do this when i have a similar question, but lakai marianos are the shit. they aren't exactly vulcanized, but sure aren't bulky. they have great feel, skate great, and are durable as shit. the grip is great, the most i've done on the toe cap is ripped 1-2 stitches, and i've been skating the shoes for about a month now. http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7245646/c/12654.html

Out of those ive had chiefs and vulk lows. They both skate very nicely, the vulk lows last longer though, both pretty comfy. chiefs have a decent insole. vulk lows have an AMAZING insole. Good shoes...

And yes, vans are the shit. Ive had rowley squares and no skools, they both skate amazingly right out of the box til there dead, they dont last long at all though.

get the supra vulk lows. the insoles are great and dont wear out.
