well my troopers are on thier deathbed so it's time to start the healing process and pick new shoes.
in israel shoes really expensive, here's my local shop's shoe selection

now 3.7NIS=1$ so as you can tell it's not cheap. I need a shoe that'll last me 2-3 months minimum. my budget is 450nis, which shoe do you think i should get?
im leaning towards the TNT 2 mids, but i want you guys opinion too

Vans will not last.

Get herman 2's online or some shit if you can.

But out of those choices im gonna say blazers are your best bet.

Go for the Red blazer lows. They should last a fair while. I skated mine for atleast 2 months and they still skate able, just too small now.

i would but as you can see they're well out of my budget

GetSupremed · 1 Week Ago

id just get half cabs if i were you. You'll get used to them and they skate amazingly.

SkaterIL · 1 Week Ago

i might try them but first can you tell me whats the difference between lows and mids skatewise?

mids give you better ankle support meaning less rolled ankles and get halfcabs low cabs feel weird

I have both Half and low cabs and I can say they're both great but i'd go with the half for the ankle support.
