ive shred in these, they are just about the closest thing to a footbag shoe that you can find in a made-for-skateboarding shoe.. the black suede version is probably heavy, i shred in some surprisingly light hemp ones, they were pimp.
anyway, they're stylin and comfy in my southern california opinion
and u can throw down some little strings while still lookin cool

"Footbag can be pretty frustrating when it's supposed to be fun. I was partly driven by this forum - practice, practice, practice... As that is true, I think someone can be too focused on progressing and training that they miss the fun aspect of it." - Bander87
they rock ass for skating, that was the number one thing in mind when they were designed. they are an attempt to get away from the lace fraying hole tearing olly pads that most shoe companies layer on, instead ipath just made it one tough piece, even surface area between sole and toe all around the shoe.
consistent fliptricks and pop, anyone?
i have NO DOUBT the skating aspect of the shoe is sound, and the shredability is good, but they're just not a hardcore footbag session shoe. they're too bulky and heavy to outperform climas or lavers, but we wont find a skate shoe that does that.
best, most comfortable pair of shoes i have ever owned! they were great for skating in and really comfy for walking around in! i wore those shoes for about 3 years and would still wear them if the soles weren't worn through. i'll bring them back out come summer and i don't have to worry about snow and puddles!

p.s. they are total shit for shredding in. don't listen to a word of what he said about them being good for shred, they suck.
