If your looking for a pair of shred shoes you should've gotten lavers. The toe is too rounded and it looks like you wouls have to do some kind of mod to get the inside a little flatter.

and it looks like they would need a bigger-then-normal-broka-mod...
it also looks like it would be harder to strip the canvas (or otherwise make the fabric more supple) from the areas you normally would do that to.

if you had to wear those shoe for work or sumthing, you could definately make them shreddable, but they don't look like they compete with lavers. ...not to me anyway

THey're the exact same basic frame as lavers. The only difference is you have hemp instead of mesh, and you have those stripes to contend with. With a little extra modding they look like shredable footbag shoes.

But, like Xain's LeCoq Sportif shoes he posted a while back, they could actuallly suck and not be great for footbag.

The sole seems to be pretty flat and has traction. Pretty good. I'm just worried about the weight, as the design looks like it could be in the same league as boots in a way (the stitching around the sole shows that for me). Nice find! I'd like to see how these shoes can be modded, especially with more detail on the insides and toe.

They look cool, Zach. They might be cool kickers to just wear around. Or maybe awesome freestyle shoes, let us know.
BRICK!
