These shoes lasted 10 skate days

On the cupsole tip again these days. These shoes have kind of a weird fit. The collar is a bit puffy for me and I wanted to lace one more eyelet, but it would make the shoe too tight in the collar. The board feel wasn’t great. They skated decent before the sole went flat, but once the tread was gone they skated pretty bad.

Fallen is making some of the best shoes out there in my opinion. Some of the soles are a bit thick, but this shoe, wow, this shoe is basically perfect. My only complaint about these shoes is the huge logo. That’s not really a complaint, it’s just me being overly picky. I guess the lace saver ripped away after awhile, but that didn’t really bother me too much. I wasn’t able to tre flip lipslide huge handrails either. Not sure what’s up with that since these were the Billy Marks shoes and all, but maybe I should have actually tried it. Who knows, maybe it would happen.Fallen Footwear

eS – Square One

Posted in Product Review, Shoe Reviews on July 30th, 2008 by corpo

goodRating: ★★★★½ STYLERating: ★★★★☆ COMFORTRating: ★★★★☆ BOARD FEELRating: ★★★☆☆ DURABILITYRating: ★★★★☆ OVERALLI’m not sure exactly how many pairs of this shoe I’ve had, but it’s a good one, and I enjoy skating them.  I’m pretty picky with the tongue on shoes and this shoe easily has the best tongue of any shoe I’ve ever skated.  It’s thin, but responsive and protects the top of your foot.  Style wise this shoe is a hit obviously considering it’s basically a vulcanized version of the ever popular Accel.  As with most Sole Tech shoes the Square One is super comfy.  The sole packs out and feels like paper after a few weeks and the ollie area will sometimes blow out.  The ollie area can be shoe goo’d, but still, why not have the both layers of suede go all the way into the sole instead of ending where the layers meet.  Oh well, over all I think it’s one of the best shoes out there.eS Footwear
