The shoes aesthetic is great! They don't go on that easy though. At least for me. The pull up over the heel is pretty difficult. I have to unlace a bit, each time, basically squish the heel flat w/my foot, then pull it back up & over like a sock. So that part's a bummer. It's the right fit once it's on, so I know it's not a size thing. I still like them. Bottom edge of rubber, on back of shoe is wearing faster than I'd hoped for. When they arrived the white seemed kinda dirty. Idk. Sucks to complain, it's a cool shoe, & I'm blessed to have shoes at all. Just not ideal for the price, I guess. And no free sticker? Sigh. For $90 + I thought maybe. Gone are the days I guess. Thanks anyhow Emerica. Maybe I'll have better luck w/a Romero. Hope the feedback is helpful, even it's not the most glowing🤙🏼

I used to skate emericas back when I was a teen, and they were always quality shoes. But as I got older I stopped skating so much and thus stopped wearing skate shoes as often. This is the first pair of emericas I've picked up in over 10 years and while I really like the shoe design, the quality was extremely low. Yellow glue stains around the fabric on the edges of the rubberized toe cap. 1 month into owning them the toe cap has completely separated from the fabric, and I didn't even skate them. The white color faded to yellow extremely quick as well. They're just not great shoes and I'm disappointed to have to write this about a brand I loved throughout my entire teenage years.

I hope emerica has better quality control going forward. If I were rating them on only quality it'd be one star, but I'll give them two because the design is really nice.

Awesome, comfortable, durable shoe! I love these shoes... The shoes are good looking and have some love with the features... Winkowski/Georgia

Got the black suede. In my 20+ years of skating these might be one of my top two favorite shoes I've worn. It's hard to find all the aspects this shoe has in one these days (mid top, simple colors and tasteful branding, the right padding / protection only where you need it, perfect toe shape). I've had shoes that last longer, but honestly I'd rather have a shoe that wears out and skates good (can always add Shoe Goo) vs being stuck with something that lasts forever and never feels like I want.

Please keep this one around Emerica!

I bought these and the white pair and was pretty stoked on them at first. They look sick, have great board feel and grip and and are ver comfortable but after a week of skating the sole started to delaminate. the soles is pretty thin compared to Nike or vans. The white pair with the rubber toe have held up better but the toe cap also is coming unglued. Love these shoes and how they feel just wish they were a bit more durable.
