If you have an issue with your skate shoes feeling tight around the top of your foot (like under the laces) then these might not work for you. I’ve tried a lot of skate shoes that didn’t work for me for that reason. Maybe I have tall/fat feet.Also many times this is a result of a very thick insole, which I didn’t realize until after buying and returning about 4 pairs of different shoes smh. Other than that these seem cool but since I didn’t skate them that long before returning I probably don’t have the best opinion in that regard.Ultimately I went with Vans Chukka Low Pro and they feel amazing on my feet.Clean shoe design. Fit tighter than expected, which I prefer for skating. If you are just buying these for lounging, or prefer more room in the toe box, then you may want to go a half size up.
