Customer Reviews Emerica The Low Vulc

Pros: decent width, good board feel, classic style. Cons: sole wore out a little quickly, flimsy insoles What I like most about these shoes is they are not narrow. I don't have particularly wide feet but it seems like a lot of skate shoes tend to be narrow and these are not… nice and comfy in the toe-box. I ordered my regular size and it was a good fit. For comparison the same size in my last pair of Nike SBs was narrower and 3-4 mm shorter. As for overall comfort, they are comfortable for *skate* shoes… don't expect a cushy sole or a lot of arch support, but they are fine for what they are. The stock insoles are pretty thin and flimsy but livable or easily replaced so no big deal. How they skated… they took a few days of normal wear and maybe an hour of skating in to feel broken in. After that board feel was good, grip was fine, impact protection was minimal but livable. The only knock I have is they started wearing through the sole under the ball of my front foot about a week sooner than usual for me, hence 4 instead of 5 stars overall. The upper is holding up fine, but I don't do flip tricks so your mileage may vary. Overall these are my second favorite shoes I've skated (behind a pair of Footprint shoes). I will keep putting shoe goo on the sole to skate them another month or so, and I would buy them again if I caught them on sale.

Fit snug

Here is a side by side pic of the Emerica Low-vulc, New Balance 379, and Nike Janoski RM 2020 (all new size 14s). The Low-vulcs fit widest with more toe room in the end. NBs felt a hair wider then the Nikes, but same length.

muy buenas y bonitas por el precio

I buy these for my son. Years ago he needed an all black, completely black, shoe for work. Emerica has removable insoles and he has orthotics. He has been wearing this brand ever since.
