So the tale begins Thanksgiving break 2007 when I need some new shoes and have had alot of shoes and want something new.
weight: 8/10 The shoes were extreamly light and could jump pretty high with them. I was at a track one day with some buds and we were doing hurtles we put the hurtles up a notch and I could jump them very cleanly compared to some other skate shoes I have jumped hurtles in in the past.
break in time: 9/10 Broke these shoes in, in a day from just walking around diden't pull any tricks like microwaving them or bending them just walked and skated for a bit and they were goo.

comftorability: 7/10 these shoes were think and well paded unfortunatly the sole wasent think so ollieing sets, ledges, gaps, etc hurt my lower back a little but it was alright.
grip/feel: 7/10 I had amazing grip with these shoes. The board was always with me on my feet but the feel of it wasent very good.
grip on bottom of shoe: 8/10 most of my shoes are worn down fast on the bottom these lasted about 6 weeks before I could stick my toe through a hole. Also these shoes felt like the board was glued to my feet.
the sides of shoe: 9/10 These shoes were awsome on the sides if it wasent for the bottom of the shoe I would still be skating it. Circa made a think cloth that went all the way around it so there werent any seems that could tear up like 6.0's, ipath, etc.
tounge: 7/10 The tounge was think and if a board went up a ramp and came back down and hit my ankle I wouldent even get hurt. The tounge was always there to protect me and was very comfey.
lace protection: 9/10 Circa built the laces very high on these shoes. These shoes never got a broken lace except on strand but I replaced it because I was all OCD about it and wanted a black lace on there anyway.
ventilation: 7/10 The ventilation on this shoe was average nothing to be excited over.
duribility: 8/10 These shoes were long lasting except on the bottom. This shoe withstood it very well.
flick: 9/10 i could spin a kickflip, heelflip, etc without even ollieing and my board doesen't have very good concave.
overall: 8/10 I would strongly suggest you check these shoes out. They lasted me long except on the bottom.
