  • I was our shopping with my girlfriend and she wanted to look at shoes, I saw these and thought they could pass for skateboarding shoes. After seeing how cheap they were I had to see if they could perform as well as Skate shoes.

    I skated these and another pair of reebok high tops in the past few years. Great value. Super glue the stiches and the parts of the lower laces that break (once they are broken in and adjusted to where they will remain) and you have a great skate shoe that didnt cost much.

    I ve been skating these for a while actually. The leather flick isnt as grippy on older decks as with suede, but apart from that the shoe is better than a lot of skate shoes, if you like stable soles. Also durability wise its pretty good, compared to any other leather skate shoe.

    I've been wearing BB4600s for decades. This new version the 'Hi 2' is by far the cheapest both in price and quality. It's still a decent shoe and better than most at this price point. The leather quality is way down compared to the previous generations of BB4600s and they also took the foam out of the midsole, it's just a criss-cross rubber structure now. As a cheap skate shoe these are totally worth a shot but don't expect a high quality leather high-top even when compared to previous BB4600s.

    Reeboks are very underrated for the price and what you get for it. The Reebok workouts or ex-0 fits would probably have more impact protection and comfort compared to these. Club c’s would prolly be the best for skating in my opinion though.

    I don't skate but I plan to get some Royals like these down the line, sadly the website messed up my order on black friday and didn't get the ones in navy for a great discount, but hey, I found some 50% off Stormy Weather Sk8-hi color theory's instead, which I wanted way more.
    I know a lot of people will recommend paying a bit more for better leather and/or construction, there's defiitely sweetspots for bang/buck, but my shoes last me so long either way, and I don't mind having a pair to get messy in if they ever start creasing like crazy.
    The Forums these remind you of are my favorite shoe of all time, so it's kinda hard to say no to this look at this price.
