Skate shoes getting more expensive to the point where getting Nike's on sale is the best option for me

@@FriendxANah stuff used just be cheaper anyone telling themselves theyve always been expensive are just delusional and getting an ego boost off of their job these companies be selling you literally the same crap for years with cheaper and cheaper materials and hike the price up every so often for no other reason than profit you having job doesn't mean jack shoes are still expensive

@@FriendxAWhat...? I've been wearing vans slips for over 20 years as my regular chiller. They used to be $35-40, now they're $55-60. Es accels og are $80+, I was buying them for $50 in 2002. The accel plus was $60. That was one of the more "expensive" shoes until Nike came along. Almost every shoe in the early 00s was around $50. Shoes these days on average are $90. There's no reason a simple emerica should be $80. The og janoski is back and it's literally $95. They were $55 when they came out. They were priced like vans because they're just a rip of vans.

I always skip the lowest set of lace eyelets when lacing my skating shoes. It helps reduce pressure on the top of the foot. I don’t know how effective it would be on that particular shoe, but based on what you’re saying, I’d personally start out skipping the first two sets.

I have this going on right now with a pair of Kyle Walker 1s, but they're a size 8 and I usually wear 7.5s (in most brands) or sometimes 7s if they fit big or tend to bag out. That half size too big makes the insole press the stitching into my foot in a really fking awkward spot. 🫣

They look dope yes, they look tech yes, they are expensive yes, sold out in almost every size yes, but does the knitted shell breathe enough to not make your feet sweat idk, but I do know I have two pairs of the last model so I’m gonna keep skating those until I can’t, but that top part of the shoe where it bends sounds like a problem I might wanna avoid all together along with $120+ price tag, I sure didn’t pay full price for the ones I have now, we shall see, thanks for the review!!!

Loosen up the bottom half of the laces, but keep the top couple holes of laces by your ankle tight so they don’t feel like they’re gonna fall off or something. It’s worth a try at least. It worked for a few dudes I skate with that bought these earlier then the official launch. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@DwindleFlip 2 ай бұрын

Just Tried them. The top of Ave 2.0 is crushing my toes when it bends (Just like mentioned). There is a plastic like part right at the base of the tongue to increase stiffness. This appears to be the source of the pinching. It crushes the tops of your toes, including the left and right side (top of foot) and that may also be due to the plastic on the side of the shoe. It's a bad feeling. I'm leaing on returning them now. Otherwise it's a nice shoe. Perhaps there is no way around this issue because without the reinforced hard areas, the stock would have no stability. Edit: I've returned them

I purchased the shoe.I like the look of the them but they are definitely snug around the foot. I can’t even wear socks with them. They are fly-knit which I have other fly-knit material shoes and I have room in them. I was disappointed and struggled putting them on. Hopefully over time, I’ll be able to break them in. They cost $130 which is pretty costly for a vans shoe.

These are the THIRD version of the Aves. I had 1 & 2. Here is a 2016 photo of me in the 1s (had to send in an Instagram message to you). These slipper-socks look like trash. They will fall apart fast My big-toes are permanently bending towards the baby toes now, from them having too pointy of a toe-area, & from me wearing half size smaller than I should have been, of AVE2s for 2 or 3 years straight. This throws off my overall balance/board-feel a tiny/noticeable amount. As a result, I now have to put 1 toe-spacers in-between my big-toe and the next toe beside it. I'm aware & cautious now about strictly-only picking shoes that don't have too pointy of toe-areas, and don't look like they will bend my big-toe inwards. Skate shoes are the worst for this, cause they usually have pointier toe-areas than normal shoes.

@doubleg4255 14 күн бұрын

He's not wrong, these aren't very comfortable. Got mine today and returning them tomorrow. They're like ankle socks with a sole. Might be good for some people, but not me. Too flimsy. Run narrow and poke you on the top of your foot.

Vans has consistently become some of the most uncomfortable pairs of shoes for my feet, especially their cup soles. This one reminds me of the ultra range pro, I could not continue skating that shoe at all. Sucks because I also love the look of their vulcs but I can’t skate those without having to scrape a huge layer of the foxing tape off, it’s too much.
