Four sessions in (about eight hours skate time) and only a lace broke. Which is my fault for not using the lace protection. I'm an 11 in adidas/New balance/nike/FP. Anything Es or etnies I'm a 10.5. First Cupsole in a long time so took a few to break in. But I think I found my forever shoe. Amazing cushion. Little less board feel comming from vulc but after sesh 3 I could feel where I was at on the board. Will buy again
