Shoes are done
8 months and 2 pairs of skate shoes later, I'm seeing holes again. The Busenitz is through and the Lakai Newport Hi, that I got in addition, because I really like ankle support, is also through.
I'll buy the Lakai Newport Hi again. It has solid ankle support, the sole cusion is OK for this type of shoe and it overall feels great on the board.
The one thing that drove me crazy on the Busenitz shoe was that the tongue kept sliding down the side of the shoe, always. Not going to buy that model again.
