Today's the first real day I'm skating and doing tricks in my G- Codes cause they used to be like a half size too big so when i skated them they were really weird cause they didn't fit go figure. And holy shit guys... these are some good ass shoes. They have some insane grip on the board and the material they make on the foxing of them just flick against the grip tape soooooo good. Emphasizing on the so haha. The material doesn't even need much of shoe goo. I already had some on them just cause it's a natural thing to do that when you have skate shoes cuz it obviously makes them last longer. I just put it on the left tip of the toe cap. The round laces I put on them that come with are really holding up against switch and nollie and kickflips but I'm just gonna put it on in case. and the shoes are pretty much cupsoles but damn you can feel your board so well on them and are really damn flexible. especially for cup soles. and the grip will last for ever on it the bottom of them haven't worn down for as long as I've had them. I'd say 9.5/10 for these shoes. Get at em!
