Zumies one of my favorite sites for finding new shoes has been having a bogo sale on skate shoes, so i figured id make a post letting people know in case you have not noticed that way you can stock up.
Go thru my reviews too find a few pairs worth your money
I have been wearing the DVS Vapor skate shoe lately and got to say its a pretty decent shoe as are most DVS made shoes.
I have not worn them doing much outdoor skateboarding as its winter in Canada but the indoor park boarding i have done have made me pretty happy i bought them.
They have a small tongue on them but are decent in the width, The grip on them are also very good on boards.
Durable suede upper material
Minimal padding for a snug fit
Vaporcell injection molded midsole increases comfort while reducing weight
Single piece toe cap with reinforcement
Foam topped lasting board for comfort
Is the Description on the DVS website and i got to say i agree with everything they listed the midsole is very comfortable for long boarding sessions and they are great for flip tricks although being suede they fray when the grip tape rubs them alot.
They are on sale right now at the DVS website for only $56 and come in a bunch of different colors

They are more then worth the 56$ price tag and i would recommend these too anyone looking for a great shoe and a cheap price.

Well Getting Shoe’s so often has become more than i can afford so i am trying to crowdfund to get some money to buy some new shoes, i setup a crowdfunding link at indiegogo “Watttttahhhhh i need to become a sneaky ninja if i was u wouldnt of even seen this comin!! http://igg.me/at/CvwFEj4NUpk/x/9629779 #Sneakyninja”

I Bought these shoes recently and again im not a big Adidas fan but i found them quite worthy of being posted about.
They have a very nice grip too them and are surprisingly comfortable especially with a thin tongue since i like a medium to thick one. Iv worn them for about 2 months now just skating and bmxing mainly indoors but the comfort of them are pretty sweet, no blisters no bruises no broken laces no damage..
They come in a variety of different designs but these was my favorite ones they had at the time, they surprisingly are pretty weather proof as for rain and sweat etc i wouldnt wear them in winter lol.
If you have narrow feet these would be a good choice but if u have a budget they are not as i paid 109$ for them and considering the options of skate shoes that are by mainly skate companies not running shoe/sport companies there are atleast 100 different shoes id go with before these but i liked them and was pointed there way by a friend who wears them, plus with my previous Adidas shoes i figured worth a try.
So if money isnt the problem and u want a nice pair of shoes u can wear everyday for anything but are skate functional these are a great choice, great for narrow foot people.

I wanted to post some of the clothes i own just so people dont think im some type of poser that is making up fake stuff and is not a major skateboard enthusiast etc lol i spend 1000s of $ on skateboard clothing and shoes, this isnt all i have its just what i had pictures of, some are the pictures from website when i ordered it but i will retake those ones of and if ur wondering why there isnt alot of pants pictures its bcuz i buy alot of the same pairs of pants Volcom kinkade bcuz they fit the exact way i like em so i have like 4-5 pairs of the same pants some same color some diff same with my lrg ones lol find DC Element etc dont have a pant iv ever found not to be like skinny jeans, or i just buy like the off brand west49 boathouse, motto, jeans.
New shoe review coming soon iv been wearing a pair lately that seem to be pretty good just havent given them the full work out yet to form a definite opinion so will be posting soon.
Thanks for reading
I Recently was given a pair of Nike SB Lunar One Shot RR Black & Hyper Crimson Skate Shoes by a friend bcuz they did not fit him properly and he knows i review shoes.
Well i wish i would have regifted them, these shoes are complete garbage. Stiff, Narrow and feel cheap.I Could barely do a kick flip wearing these partly due to the shoes discomfort partly due to the stiffness.
I really had a better expectation for nike and their attempt at making skateshoes but with this pair i dont know if i should form the opinion of they are going downhill, or just dont care anymore.
this review is short bcuz i wore them for a hour before my feet hurt too much.
Price 1/5
Comfort 1/5
Style 1/5
would not recommend these to anyone ever
This one will be short and sweet.
both these 2 brands sucked, i went a few days before having problems with them, chucks ripping out, stitching not holding up etc,
The Comfort if u are just walking and like hitops go for it, but dont expect them to last long other then the odd here n there style boarding. These shoes really let me down for the 119$ i spent on them, They are narrow and have a thin tongue.
Anyone wanting a reliable skate shoe or multi shoe pass on these

Second one is the Adidas Silas (or atleast thats the name i got for them).
I would normally not buy any Adidas skateshoes but a friend swore by then and will end up in hell if god cares about that type of stuff bcuz iv never had a worst pair of shoes, they are not worthy at all of a long review but i will say if u just want to walk with them they are snazzy, other then that they are not functional for any sportin.
Mine are 3 months old and in a donate to valuevillage box bcuz i couldnt handle them falling apart, breaking laces.. they are narrow and they are tight on ur feet the back part thats near ur heal ends up bending twards ur heal. pass on these if u had an idea to get them

Sorry for the inactivity this past year, i have a bunch of shoes i will be reviewing soon i just have not had much time lately and there really hasnt been many good models of skate shoes out recently that i really deem worthy of spending time on.
Although now i realize im not just writing this for myself and some people actually read i will write these reviews and post them very soon.
I can say that i reviewed one shoe model awhile ago that i will suggest too anyone who likes comfort in any everyday shoe for every season is functional on boards or bikes or hiking or walking the dog, DVS Militia, they have a couple different cuts i prefer the low cut ones as im not a big fan of boots/high tops but there are those options for those who do.
Since this shoe was made by a snowboarder and a skateboarder it is functional for everything just a little, so if u skate randomly but spend more time walking, or biking, or driving, in warm weather, in cold weather, this is a shoe u can get to love and even when you normally would have stopped wearing them and donated them to goodwill or a less fortunate person,, well u still find urself wearing them…. lol i truly do love these shoes and will continue to buy them, cold winters in northern Canada tested and approved. I personally owned the tan nubuck ones since they look nice and really do fit with any type of pants/ shorts.
On another note i am personally sad to sad my 13 year love affair with DC Shoes has ended a love affair that literally has a logo tattoo’d on my leg, a love affair that had me literally spending 60$ shipping n handling to special order shoes into my local skate shops before bcuz they was not popular so they did not have them on stock.
DC Shoes has decided they no longer want to cover the shipping costs unless your American so if u are like me and are Canadian well when u buy stuff from their website ur shipping costs are magically hidden in the taxes they dont tell u, “oh now u have to pay a boarder fee” or “now u pay shipping” they try to make a 60$ pair of shoes cost 98$ with tax, i know our taxes are high but being more then half the cost of the shoes themselves without any “extra charge” on my bill is ridiculous.
Sadly i loved one pair of shoes they made before i boycotted buying from them this past year, that was the DC Stag Shoe in pirate black/white.
They are a very comfortable shoe with a thicker tongue like i love bcuz of how i tie my laces off to the sides n trim them as to not have bunny ears. They are alot like the DC Command and the DC Frenzy for boarding feel, same crappy laces but nice insoles and but are a tad narrow so wider feet people will not want them.
Boarding 4/5
Comfort 3/5
Style 4/5 depending on colors
Durability 4/5
on my limited time wearing them iv had no problems but only wore them for about a total of 40-50 hours.
This is just a update i will write more about other shoes i have worn over the past while and my suggestions and thoughts, i will also try to keep u up to date on sales etc.
Thanks for reading and again i apologize for lake of anything this past while
Dc just emailed me this notice that they are having a 50% off sale figured id share the info
Well one of my favorite DC models for its multifunctional is finally getting a update and new look, dc just released a small description along with a picture and link to the dc website so you can purchase them. I think i did a review on these previously but if i didnt ill say again these shoes are great boarding shoes and great everyday wear shoes, you can go from boarding to driving to walking without feeling a difference they are one of the best multi functional shoes iv worn. Heres the DC Spot
