2 Shoes I Review

[FlowBoi]

Hey I just got done with my Circa there gone. Nothing Left to them. Now I got new ones.

First Review:
Circa Adrian Lopez 202
- Leather upper
- Invisible rubber ollie underlay
- Optional protective lacing system
- Reinforced upper layering materials
- Full-length EVA midsole
--There Goood shoes to skate. But they are soft soled. The bottoms ware down real fast like. I had my pair for about a month and the bottoms are gone. But thats nothing shoe goo won't help. It's still good though. I would rate these shoes a 7/10 :cool:.

Second Review:
Vans Mancini
- Ghillie lacing system
- ollie and kickflip material overlays for durability
- Optional protective lacing system
- mxolded EVA
- Full-length EVA midsole
-- These shoes are good for Vans. They really work good. Considering these are Vans they don't ware down fast. I've had these for about 2 months and they are still doin pretty good. I rate these shoes 8/10 :D.

Great thread idea.....

eS contarct

Featues:
Soft action leather or suede upper
Perforated tongue for breathability
Double-padded tongue and collar
Elastic tongue-centering straps
Full-length EVA midsole with cut-outs
400 NBS stitched gum rubber outsole
Outsole flex grooves for increased grip

Ok eS have a very high standered in shoes and these are no exception, they look the bizz and are about as wel made as they come. ALso they are unbelivably comfy and stay on tight on your foot without needing to be laced stupidly or even tied which is great, also the multi layer toe takes ages to wear through. The only slight downside is how quick the laces go but it comes with spaes and you can buy a pack for £2.
Overall 9/10

eS rover

Features:
Suede / action leather with perforations
Pressed TPR toe cap weld
Perforated tongue for breathability
Double-padded tongue and collar
Elastic tongue-centering straps
Full-length three-part EVA midsole
Injected TPU heel counter
400 NBS stitched gum rubber outsole
Zig-zag tread pattern in key areas
Outsole flex grooves for increased grip

Ok again an amazing shoe from eS, great looks and doyble padded for unbeatable comfort and foot hold with still great board feel. The prs pressed toe cap really is amazing, it has lasted longer than any other shoe i have ever skated! (thats alot) And even though it does slowly wear down you cant tell unlike some shoes were there is dicoulouration and holes appear quickly, although lace protection anit exsitent they dont snap as often as you would think being round unlike say the accels. Overall this is the single greatest shoe i have ever skated!!
10/10! Winner! Plus only £40 on sale!

I got emerica's that I can't skate yet but I will soon. Nice review and good shoes.

[grindqueen]

nice review dude

[FlowBoi]

thanks

[Flipstreetskate]

my turn:

eS Accels
features:
Leather or suede upper with ventilating mesh
Triangle ollie pattern with triple-stitched toe cap
Padded tongue and collar for comfort
Hidden TPR rubber underlay
Elastic tongue-centering straps
Full-length EVA internal midsole
Silithane heel crash pad
EVA footbed with removable arch support
400 NBS stitched gum rubber outsole
Sizes 6.5-14
-brillliant shoe, the single greatest shoe i have ever set foot in. feel broken in once they are out of the box, very lightweight and responsive. they may look weak at first but are actually real strong. after over a week and a half of constant flippage, the toe cap is merely scuffed.
easily a 10/10.

10/10! Winner! Plus only £40 on sale! i heard contracts were bad :confused: . its good to hear rovers ar good because i have been interested in them.

i will write review in morning

[FlowBoi]

Dang eS's are popular now I guess lol.

[el_whiteboy8888]

heres one
Adio Bam V2
pros....
lether upper
invisible ollie under
rubber toe cap

cons(for me)
toe snaped open
the grip near my toes is worn down(more on the pushing foot)
laces snap daily
very stiff and tight at first

rateing:5/10 i wont reommend it to any one who skates 1-7 hours a day usally

[snakeyes17]

Vans Estilo
-John Cardiels 3rd shoe
-Vans Custom Cupsole construction
-Full-length PU footbed with Impactsorb Heel area
-Built in arch support
-leather (or suede) upper

These have been great shoes. I have had them for a month and the toe cap is fine. I jsut needed to use shoe goo in some spots where the threads ripped but not that won't ever happen again :D
They have great cushion and feel really good. They don't have lace protection which is a pain in the ass always breaking laces. They have good board feel and the grip is awesome. It is barely wearing down and i always wear these things. It is also very grippy on the griptape.
Great shoes
9/10http://vans.speedera.net/shop.vans.com/image/4291876B.jpg

www.Fastforward.com thats wear I got mine.

[FlowBoi]

Dude yall need to support yalls local skate scene man.

[snakeyes17]

not if they don't have what you want :/

[BakerStencil]

^ + I'm not gonna pay $10 or $20 dollars more at the shop.

[DarkHawk2-2]

eS is the shit.

eS ek-01s
# Suede or leather upper with mesh
# Double-padded tongue and collar
# Elastic tongue-centering straps
# Full-length EVA midsole
# System G2™ heel cushioning system
# Zig-zag tread pattern in key areas
# Outsole flex grooves for increased grip
# 400 NBS stitched gum rubber outsole

Koston's original shoe has been reworked, the first OG koston 1s were siick, but the ek-01 version is way better. The material used is softer, thus breaks in quick. They perform so well, the shoe holds on to your foot while doin' some flip tricks or whatever.. They're alot like Accels when it comes down to the raw skateability but EK-01s have a better hold of your foot. It supports and cups your feet better. The system g2 is a lifesaver... No bruised heels in these shoes, unlike air bags, system g2 doesnt affect board feel. 9/10.

P.S.
*eS Contract
The shoe is good but the grip burns down faster than any other eS

[AlmostJeff]

Hey has anyone tried the new vans rowley slims im thinking about getting a pair right now I have the rowley xlt's and their alright 6/10 I guess

[Mamba]

I dunno what size to buy. I would hate to order online and then not be happy with the shoe I got.. Every shoe company is differnt so I dunno how they fit yet.. :\ I'm sure in a pickle..

[Amsterdam]

I skate converse weapons. They're high and i like cause decreases chance on ankle injuries

[FlowBoi]

It don't matter you'll still hurt your ankle

[NIGhtMAre]

it doesn't decrease anything, cuase its light fabric that doesn't prevent you from rolling your ankle...

[evilcheese00]

Yeah it does, Some of the better systems (eS, adio) It does actually prevent your ankle form moving around as much, thus decraesing rolling chances slightly.

[FlowBoi]

KEYWORD Slightly been there done I used to have DC Decades man there high tops still rolled my ankle.

Vans Greco 2s do a good job of that

[BakerStencil]

You seriously are never gonna prevent rolling your ankle unless you skate with Dr. Martins, or an Ankle Brace.

[snakeyes17]

of course
it will just help in little situations

[FlowBoi]

If you ask me hightops make it worse.

I don't want Slims because they aren't padded a lot or anything. Reminds me of like slip ons.

[FlowBoi]

LOL Slip ons feel weird don't they

[rankz]

DC Digit
£45 (size 6)

I got these a while back, they lasted ages, and they feature shock absorber in the heel. They are great shoes, but i can't find them anywere, so maybe they stopped making them. They aare great shoes, feature a great 'pill' sole pattern which really grips. They didn't get mashed up by ollies either. So i give them.......
Last-9/10
Performance-8/10
Total- 9/10

Etnies RAP
(£30 size 7)
I got these shoes in a sale at Rollersnakes.co.uk, they are a great budget shoe. I have had them for about 2months now, they have lasted well and don't show too much signs of wearing. However. when i come the skating drops and steps, they don't take as much impact as the DC's. I was looking at those gel shock things, but i never got round to buying some. Any way....
Last- 8/10
Perform.- 7/10

You know a while back I was goin to get those but I got those Circa's

hey man do they have inside lacing, like can you lace them up inside without having them exposed on the outside of the shoe?

[pr0o boarder]

Oh my gosh. Old thread. But I dont think they are inside lace up. Im not 100% sure.

[rocketJAM]

Only like 4 months old man at least its not from 2002 or something...anyways thanks.

[NIGhtMAre]

Levis Slippers (blue)
Pros: VERY light, easy to put on, Durable, Laces never rip.

Cons: None, these are the ultimate skating shoes, but some people would say that they may cuase a little irritation on the foot. But who cares?!

These are the best, 11/10

[snakeyes17]

Levis?
Well can you find a link on the net?

Ive had these babies 6 months now and there still going. Im really inpressed on how long they have lasted and there the most compterable skate shoe Ive had yet. The toe cap is on the edge of its life but nothing a little shoe goo cant fix. Besides the toe cap the rest of the shoe held out well. Im really stoked about these and I will proly will be getting hoppers or another pair of Ipaths again.
9.5/10
