The shoes serve their purpose. They are shoes. They are relatively comfy. I'm not used to skate shoes that are so thin and flimsy in the upper though. I remember when nearly every style had lots and lots of padding all around the shoe. Now it's hard to find that. I can't get my feet into these without holding the sole in place, and forget using them as slip-ons. They feel &#34;poppy&#34; when I walk, like the inner sole is jumping around under my feet or there is something coming unstuck every time I lift them. They're also very narrow. There's a solid inch in front of my toes, but they squeeze my feet on the sides. If you like well-fitting, puffy skate shoes that DC used to be known for, look elsewhere. I went to their website and settled on another pair, but I couldn't find any green ones like I want.
