They aren't terrible, but not my favorite pair.  The cut by the ankle is extremely low, more of a fashion sneaker than an actual skate sneaker.  I feel like if I needed to ever exert myself (say, run) they'll fly right off, so skating is most likely out of the question.  The fit of the shoe overall is just fine, the quality is typical for the type of shoe it is.  Only gripe is this:  nothing from the images or description give you the warning that the inside of the shoe has a picture of a skull and weed leaf.  I just put an insert in the shoe for arch support and to cover the image, but really?  Unnecessary and somewhat stupid, especially given that the shoe itself gives you no indication that it's going to have some teenager friendly print on the inside of it.  Overall, it's irrelevant, but certainly unexpected.
