DVS Munition CT Review *pics* - Skateboard-City Forum

iEnjoiGirls · 2 Weeks Ago

So yeah... this is my first review for shoes

Specs

The Munition CT shoes by DVS. An evolution in the original Munition now with a thinner design and a vulcanized sole. Perfect balance of feel and protection.

* Designed and tested by the DVS team
* Vulcanized outsole construction
* Triple-stitched toe panel
* DVS Bruise control technology

Looks
Simple shoe. I got the DVS Photographer Swift Series version of the shoe. It has off-white suede and a red outsole. There's lower lace protection as well higher lace protection in the last hole. The insoles have a compilation of some black and white photos of some DVS team riders. The leather tongue has a camera on it and says "DVS Photographer Series/Swift" on it.

Durability
I've had these shoes for about 4 weeks. The toecap splitted up pretty nice and a hole developed. The lower and higher lace protection ripped. The laces were rather flimsy; it was hollow so it tore quickly too.

Comfort
The bruise control foam for the heel is supposed to provide "Mo' Cushion Fo' The Pushin'," sadly I did bruise my heel trying to do a pretty big 3 set. The insole was pretty much a piece of foam that flattened out a few days after skating them. The tongue is well padded as well as around my ankle.

Grip
The grip was nice. Usually I wear out my grip before I rip my upper, but this lasted pretty long. The Munition Ct's use a herringbone grip that is just grippy enough and is durable enough.

Overall
These skated pretty well. Besides the fact that they aren't the best shoes to wear to jump off and over stuff, these shoes are pretty good for everything else. It's everything a flatground/ledge guy would want in something simple. They fit true to size. The DVS Team is amazing as well; they seem to wear these shoes a lot, which led me to purchase a pair. Get your ass a pair.
