These shoes lasted 10 skate days

On the cupsole tip again these days. These shoes have kind of a weird fit. The collar is a bit puffy for me and I wanted to lace one more eyelet, but it would make the shoe too tight in the collar. The board feel wasn’t great. They skated decent before the sole went flat, but once the tread was gone they skated pretty bad.

These shoes lasted 10 skate days

Another couple weeks and another shoe review. I’ve been blowing through shoes like nobody’s business. Vox shoes run a little wide and the Class X is no exception. My feet aren’t that wide so I had some discomfort with my toes sliding around in them. They do have great board feel though and these shoes take almost no time to break in. The uppers help up pretty good and it was several sessions before I had to shoe goo the section where my razor toe sticks out. I superglued the stitching on the toe cap before skating them though which I think gave the upper a longer life. The soles didn’t hold up very well and I only skated them 10 days before the hole on the sole appeared which is my signal to move on to new shoes. If you have wide feet and want a slim, stylee shoe the Class X might be perfect for you.
