I've been struggling for a few years now to find skate shoes I could actually wear for more than a couple hours. I'm not sure if skate shoes have in general gotten narrower, or if the fact I've been wearing Lems for everyday shoes for a while made me realize just how uncomfortable skate shoes are. These shoes with 5mm FP insoles are basically perfect.
I skated these for a couple weeks until I was convinced I needed a half-size smaller, but Splay made the exchange process super easy, and they even took the shoes after I'd skated them! Fun fact, through the exchange, I found out they're a local Utah brand.
I won't lie, these look weird when you're standing on your board. They have a noticeably different shape than regular skate shoes and you might need some adjustment to foot positioning for flip tricks, but just like new board, shoes, trucks, etc, one can always adjust.
