I'm almost positive most people on this forum will recommend mesh lavers. They're really light, and not as bulky as any of those other shoes.

So, uh, get them.

If it said leather... why would it be mesh?

Go with mesh lavers to start with.

Only do lacing mod at first, then you'll see which ones you want to do after that.

I got my lavers from finish line, definetly leather. I've played in both mesh and leather, and modded I can't tell the difference.

I'd definetly recommend some sort of lavers first, because as many people say, G-units let you hit tricks that Lavers just wouldn't, thus your form is killed...

Gunits aren't bulky, but I would recommend trying lavers first and if you don't like them try normal G6s.

I can't find anywhere online where they sell normal g-units, all i can find is g-unit lows for 40 bucks.

Mesh lavers for $44.99 or leather lavers for $27.99?

It doesn't matter - don't get units.

Get some type of Laver and you'll be fine.

well one person did. who said that it doesnt matter. i agree. i think leather are easier to mod, and i actually prefer leather, but they're similar. leather lavers are more like g-units. my personal opinion is get leather, especially if they're cheaper

yeah, i cant think of any differences.

outer layer of leather off the toe and inside. obviously be careful not to go too deep, but it isnt too hard.
