I’m with @Skunk on the hi-tops.
I like the ankle support

Low tops are basically slippers lol
They’re comfy when you just need to throw something on.
But I just can’t skate in them

I really want some hi-tops for the ankle protection lol. And it will help with ankle windchill. At least I only have to worry about one.

True… My mom doesn’t allow shoe goo cause of the smell… claims she smells it when it’s dryed :disappointed_relieved:

Maybe we can get you some bindings to support your weak ank anks. I Always skate with my van slipons

Did you blame it on the unity again?

Pre unity… but yes I did.

If you’re going to wear vans slip-ons, I can not recommend the Pro version enough!! Big improvements for only 10-15 extra bucks

I got 3 sets last weekend, I’ve never been a big fan of the specific design of skates shoes, but I though I should try these:

Adidas Buzenitz

Adidas Suciu

Not as comfortable a Asics gel quantum 180 or 360, but better support for you feet on hard braking and a acceleration
