Chunky and comfy and a great fit. I like my shoes how i like my women what can I say.
Kids today just don't know. Clean lines and classic comfort.
The Sal 23 is an iconic, stunning, super functional dynamo of a sneak.
The fit on this shoe is slightly off, I would definitely recommend trying it on first. I order half size down and maybe could have gone a full size after they stretched out. The shoe its self is very well made, I’ve actually had some of my best skates in them, the flick is very good once broken in, heel flips are great. It’s not a thick shoe really, the sole is quite thin, but it does give enough support and confidence to stomp tricks. I will say something about the toe box is slightly off and definitely not how the originals were. I also think it’s criminal releasing a skate shoe without tongue straps especially when it’s an obvious lace breaker. I would give this more stars because i love the shoe, I just want them to correct the sizing and tongue strap issues then it would be perfect. They are holding up well after 10 hours.
