Fallen Reliant Skateboarding Shoe Review
Fallen Reliant skateboarding shoes are traditional puffy-style skate shoes. They aren't as big as, say, Osiris D3s were, but they still have the big thick tongue, the thickly padded heel collar, and the wider feel. Fallen Reliants are also well built, with rubber reinforced toes and reinforcement around the tongue's edging. Fallen Reliant skate shoes don't really do anything new, but what they DO do, they do well! Check out this Fallen Footwear Reliant skate shoes review for more.

Vans No Skool 2 Skateboarding Shoes Review - Dustin Dollin Pro Signature Model - Vans No Skools have gone through a zillion incarnations. But the latest and greatest are the Vans No Skool 2s. Just like the original No Skools, No Skool 2s are Dustin Dollin's pro signature shoes, and are great shoes.

Vans AV Sk8-Low Shoe Review - Anthony Van Engelen Pro Model
Vans AV Sk8-Low Skateboarding Shoe Review. The AV Sk8-Low is the second pro signature model by Anthony Van Engelen. It uses a pretty solid and traditional design as its base (the Sk8-hi), and then AVE adjusted the shoe from there. The result is a strong traditional style Vans skateboarding shoe, but with a [i]very[/i] low cut and Anthony Van Engelen's bold styling. This type of shoe isn't for everyone - take a look, and if you like what you see, you can rest assured that the design is strong.

Vans J-Lay Skate Shoe Review - Johnny Layton Signature Pro Skateboarding Shoe
Vans J-Lay Skate Shoe Review - Johnny Layton Signature Pro Skateboarding Shoe - The Vans J-Lay is pro skater Johnny Layton's first pro signature model skate shoe.

Plus, these are some of the lightest skate shoes you'll find.

Fallen Ripper Skateboarding Shoes Review
Fallen Rippers are simple, well made tough little skate shoes. They seem a little too simple at first glance, but that's part of what's great about them - you get everything you need, without any glam-rock extras.

Nike 6.0 Air Mogan Skateboarding Shoe Review
Nike 6.0 Air Mogans are the coolest looking shoes in the Nike 6.0 "nerd" lineup - seriously, these shoes look cool! You can get them in some striking sporty color combos, and corduroy. But looks aren't everything - and Nike 6.0 Air Mogans are good for skateboarding as well. They're double stitched and lighter weight, so they won't last as long as some of the other heavy duty skateboarding shoes on the market, but they do reach a good balance between skatability and style.

The Fallen Revolver skateboarding shoe - It doesn't push the envelope in any area, or do anything really new, but it's a great skateboarding shoe.

Plus, the Fallen Revolver does have Billy Marks' name on it, which is pretty cool! Read this review for more details, and the actual specs of the Fallen Revolver skateboarding shoes.

Nike 6.0 Oncore - Nike Oncore 6.0 skateboarding shoe review
Nike 6.0 Oncores are skateboarding shoes with a little extra. The new Nike Oncores are great shoes for skateboarding, with extra reinforcement, action leather and suede uppers, and great grippy soles. Nike 6.0 Oncores have padding where you want it, breathe, and are fully skatable. The style is a little unique, but not ugly (something that Nike Skateboarding shoes get bashed for a lot). Nike 6.0 Oncores are worn by Nike bmx team rider Garret Reynolds.

Vans No Skool Dustin Dollin Pro Model Skateboarding Shoes
The Vans No Skool is an upgrade to the Vans Old Skool skateboarding shoe. The No Skool is Dustin Dollin’s third pro model skateboarding shoe – something of an upgrade to the Vans Old School skate shoes. The suede and leather upper look sick and add strength, while the added padding in the tongue and heel collar add comfort. Most striking of all in the Vans No Skool is the style – the ultra punk skull screen printing on the canvas side panels and tongue!

Strong metal lace eyelets (you don't want anything less for boots), high top design for warmth, and some incredible traction make these DC Rovers perfect.

Fallen Contra Skateboarding Shoes Review
Fallen Contras are extremely well built, high quality skateboarding shoes. Fallen Contras sacrifice a few extra features designed specifically for skateboarding (like lace protection or width) for some added running or tennis shoe features. This makes the Contra the perfect choice for someone who wants to skate plus play other sports or do other things with these same shoes. Fallen Contras also have an extra puffy tongue, so they still look and feel like skate shoes. A good hybrid shoe.

The Fallen Strike is one tough skateboarding shoe. The entire upper is made from thick heavy duty suede, the lave eyelets are all metal, the toe cap is triple stitched with a hidden rubber layer for extra toughness, all the edges are double stitched - the Fallen Strike is a ripped skateboarding shoe that's looking for a fight. The Fallen Strike is also available in a couple of color styles that add to it's punk look, if you need even tougher skateboarding shoes.
