Fallen Revolver Billy Marks Signature Model Skateboarding Shoe Review

The Fallen Revolver skateboarding shoe is, I believe, Billy Marks' first pro model skate shoe, and I'm happy to say it's a keeper. Packed with all the extra features you've come to expect in Fallen skateboarding shoes, Billy Marks' Revolver is a great skateboarding shoe. It doesn't push the envelope in any area, or do anything really new, but it's a great skateboarding shoe, so there you go. The style is simple and comfortable, but still strong, the shoe is tough in all the right places, and still comfortable and padded. Plus, the Fallen Revolver does have Billy Marks' name on it, which is pretty cool!

First let's talk about who Billy Marks is. In 2006 he placed 9th at the X Games, was a finalist in the Dew Action Sports Tour for street, took 4th in the Es Final Game of SKATE, got a hot tub and tanning bed installed in his home, and had his first pair of pro model Fallens come out - the Fallen Revolvers.

These shoes are well built - action leather / nubuck uppers can take a pounding, the panels are all double stitched, with a triple stitched toe cap that runs all the way back to include a flap that you can use to protect your lowest laces. The laces themselves are even tough. The heel cap is double layered, and these Fallen Revolvers shouldn't blow out too soon (of course they can, and might eventually - skateboarding is mean, after all, but in testing I didn't see any signs for blowout at all). The lace eyelets are all holes in the actual leather upper - not plastic eyelets or anything - and the top and lower eyelets are reinforced with an extra layer of leather.

For skateboarding, these Fallen Revolvers should be great. The eyelet flaps should give your laces a fighting chance for survival, the padded heel (with airbag plus gel) will make your landings more comfortable, and the padded tongue is just the right amount. The heel collar is padded just right so that you can perma-tie your laces if you want, or you can cinch them tight if you want more support.

And that's really it - the Fallen Revolver skateboarding shoes are great for skating, and in testing I didn't find anything to complain about. Like I said, they don't do anything all that new, but that's often a good thing. Fallen Revolvers have all the luxury and fine craftsmanship that go into Fallen shoes, making them a top 10 skateboarding shoe, and they come with Billy Marks' blessing! I recommend them.
