So the story starts out I needed some new shoes and it was just in time for a local side walk sale at West side skateshop in Tarpon Springs, Florida. I pull up with my friend and we get out and they had amazing deals here so I am looking threw all the shoes and a bunch of little 12 year olds and *****s were there looking and buying about 3 sets of shoes from 50 to 75% off. I had about 300 dollars but didn't want to buy a bunch of shoes only one set and if they had a cool pair for 20 I would get another, so I am looking and don't really find anything I like so I ask my friend to look also because he knows what style I like and he finds a pair for 50 bucks and it was a hella good deal because the retail value was 90 so I try them on and the fit blah, blah, blah and I buy them. They are Nike SB dunk high pro http://www.nike.com/nikeskateboarding/v3/#/lightbox/shoe/12921
-break in time:9/10 These shoes were pretty easy to break in everything on them was very thin and soft which can be good but also really bad.
-comfortability: 9/10 These shoes were really comfortable and padded well with actual pillow fluff on the insides by your ankles.
-weight: 8/10 These shoes were amazingly light for hightops. They were probably the lightest hightops I have ever skated.
-tongue:4/10 The tongue was very thin and fragile, I had to mess with it to keep it straight so it wouldn't run down the side of my foot.
-grip/feel: 6/10 The grip was average on these shoes and the feel of the board was alright
-grip on bottom:7/10 The grip on the bottom was alright like a average skate shoe.
-sides of shoes: 5/10 The side of the shoe had rubber put very low so the sides tore up at the seems.
-flick: 7/10 The flick on this board was alright just average
-lace protection: 8/10 Laces tore on right side but it took a long time and it was after my friend was tugging on it during class and being gay so it ripped.
-ventilation: 4/10 These shoes got my feet sweety when skating hard on hot days.
-durability: 7/10 This shoe was not very durable on the sides
-Overall: 7/10 I have had some terrible shoes in my day but these were more flashy look shoes than skate shoes. As I said the sides tore up at the seems, the laces got ripped, and the tongue was thing but it had very thick insoles but you could still feel the board.
