Sock like fitting skate shoe with great look
von Jussi, Blue Tomato Shop Helsinki, Blue Tomato, 24.05.2023
I chose to try out New Balance skate shoes after using Adidas and Etnies shoes for years. This is due to the nature of NB shoes being thinner by fit, I wanted the shoes to last me first a period of walking in them. I always use the size 42 EU / 9 US / 27 cm in Adidas and Etnies, but these shoes were indeed a slimmer fit in the beginning. Now I have started to use them for skating after walking 3 months in them and they still have a rather great form.
I have skateboarded and snowskated in these shoes for few weeks now. These shoes have the perfect vulcanized flick but do not lose their grip so fast. The Ortholite insole is surprisingly comfortable as I am used to them from my Nitro snowboarding boots. Compared to Adidas and Etnies I found these shoes to be more of true perfect fit and for New Balance shoes just a bit more wide than some other models I have tried from them. I have somewhat wide foot any way. The heel has a good grip for heelflips because of the vulcanized part. My opinion for impact protection: 3.5/5.0.
I chose the shoes for the colourway and look and I have enjoyed them skating quite a lot. My only problem is that they are somewhat expensive, but this is due to their more tech vulcanized construction that is a try of having the best of a vulcanized shoe and a cupsole shoe.
