Durable shoes and all, but maybe too durable? If that makes any sense.  They are really puffy and bulky, the sole sits pretty high like you have risers in your shoes.  Incredibly heavy compared to the average skate shoe (I own and have tried a loooot of skate shoes).

That said, they look okay I guess; kinda bulky looking as well as bulky feeling. But they are well built and don't break down.  Honestly, good shoes for outside work and walking around in cold weather, but not what I consider good skate shoes.  One exception is that they are pretty wide.  So if you have wide feet or you like your shoes that have a wide base that feels more sturdy on a skateboard, you may actually really like these shoes.
