Style: Pretty plain and simple, a cupsole shoe with a big adio logo on the side and sole, and small ones on the toe, tounge, outsole, and sole. I had the colorway above, which I thought was nice, and I'm sure you'll find a colorway you like. I can't say much else, but I thought it was a nice looking shoe.
Boardfeel: This was probably the best part of the shoe, the sole was pretty thin, which provided good boardfeel. At first, like most shoes, they had a wierd feeling to them and the boardfeel wasn't anything special, but they broke in and that's when the good boardfeel started. The sole wore down really quickly, which is a bad thing, but it helped the boardfeel out even more. Overall I would give the boardfeel an 7/10.
Grip: One of the many downfalls was the grip. The shoe was partly made of suede, so that was okay, but it ripped really fast. But the sole was just bad. There is a big adio logo on the sole, as mentioned in the style section, and it wasn't really grippy at all. The rest was a zig-zag like pattern, which is actually pretty good most of the time, just not on this shoe, it flattened out really quickly, and wasn't too grippy to begin with. Overall I thought the grip was a big disappointment, 4/10.
Comfort/Impact Support: As I said before, the sole is thin, and the wears down really quickly, making it thinner, so these shoes don't give you a "walking on a cloud" feel, but it's not terrible. These shoes are pretty wide, so those with wide feet don't have to worry. Another complaint is that they are pretty flat, resulting in little arch support. This is actually an opinion, since some people like really thin shoes and consider them comfortable, I'm just not one of those people. Overall I would give the comfort a 6/10.
Durability: I mentioned earlier that the sole flattened out really quickly, as does the suede, it got the blue-ish color that black suede shoes get, then then started getting holes really soon after. Both were incredibly suprising. Both the sole and the suede wore down faster than all my shoes. There were holes appearing really quickly to the point where there were many holes that ripped my socks when I skated them. Overall I would give the durability a 4/10, my least favorite part of the shoe.
Overall: I thought this was a nice looking shoe, they had a thin sole and the boardfeel was good and got better as I skated them, the grip was bad and wore down really fast, the comfort and impact support were satisfactory due to the thin sole, and the overall durability was just bad, the whole shoe was weak and a big dissapointment. Overall I would give this shoe a 4.5/10, I wouldn't get these again unless they were 10 dollars and I probably wouldn't skate them, they were the worst shoes I've had..
