I paid $160 for my vans ultarange pro that are way too slim for my fat feet. I heard a lot of people had the same problem with the nyjah’s which are $140
I got some ultrarange pro 2's, which are very similar to these. Wore them for about a week just walking around and I feel like my foot is broken. There's something strange about the shape of the sole...too wide in some places, too skinny in others.
Am jroid yeah that’s exactly what happened to my feet when I got the nyjah shoes, they felt tight around the sides of my feet and it took some time getting used to it
@@chillpokebro yea I have these and the laces are perfect, I love mine. Love John but I don't really trust his shoe recommendations. He hates Nike and I've been skating on them for years.
i love how john's videos are so real. He doesnt have to stage or fake anything or exaggerate things, he can just skate and talk and that creates my favorite vids everytime. also im sorry about your rail i know thats what the bad news was lol
John Hill literally relaxes me when I'm having a stressful day, or when I'm just not in a good mood. Waiting every Tues and Thurs for a new upload is literally what makes Tues/Thurs better every week. John Hill never disappoints 🤙🏽
I clicked so fast you wouldn’t even be able to record how fast I clicked because there isn’t an existing concept of time so precise that you could record the speed of which I clicked... (Thank you John for the videos)
And don’t go straight for kickflips, learn things like higher ollies, fs 180s and pop shuvits before learning kickflips because it makes it so much easier 👍🏼
Anyone else notice the small yet awesome little details that John puts in his videos? I love how he times out his tricks to land in sink with the songs so he lands on the high hat
Skate shoes in general should not cost over $100. Doesn't matter if it's a pro model. If it costs over $100 they have to be rare shoes that were discontinued or something like old Koston's.
The only positive to this is you can usually find most skate shoes, wether core or big name brand, on sale with a bit of online searching. In all the years I’ve skated I think only paid retail price when the Etnies Marana’s first came out and for the Nike SB Paul Rodriguez 7.
yooooo. this was the exact same experience I had with the Ave's. Got all pumped, figured I'd try a new style in hopes of it lasting longer. Skated it for 1 session, completely sucked the life out of me and immediately retired it. Straight back to chima's or old schools. amazing how much of a difference it can make
i have the ave pros and i absolutely looooove them, for me they had a really long break in period, but now I love them and they are super comfortable for me. Nice video John!!
Yeah I love them too. They fit my foot like a glove and I've been skating in them for about four months with little to no damage. Even though I've been skating hard, they still have no scuffs or holes
Bro I’m so excited people are actually coming to me for skate advice this is crazy. Love your content John will be buying more progress daily in the near future
I literally was going to buy these like a month ago but didn’t want to spend $100 on them. Then I saw you wearing them in your previous video and thought about it again lol but I wasn’t going to skate them tho😂
John...never get tired of watching you skate. You're just amazing to watch. Thank you for doing this for us all. Your videos are always worth the watch. Good job!
Lace the top two holes of each shoe from the outside to in. It can help to hold your heal back, and can help keeping the shoe tighter over the top of your foot. (That shoe has a weird cut/profile to it. I live in Vans TNT’s with a perfect fit. Your shoes just don’t work on my feet.) Keep doing what you do!
johns mindsets beautiful on skating. the way he sees it as luck from what he wears he doesn’t see it has muscle memory or anything he sees it as chance
@@sike1dj humidity is so much worse than dry heat, I’ve been to africa in 100+ weather where the sun is beaming on you like hell, and on the other hand I’ve been to japan which at 90 degrees but extremely humid I walk outside and I want to die.
Nah it has to do with this guy not tieing up the laces all the way up. Plus not all shoes are made equally once you buy a high end shoe it changes your perception.
You may be able to salvage the white pair by adding an insole on top of the one the shoe came with. This will fill out more space in the shoe giving it a more snug fit. Maybe Kyro could hook you up with a pair of FP's.
I still love how people think of a skate shoe is made of a different material other than suede, a shoe will fit the same. The Ave is 70% mesh, which stretches. You're supposed to buy them a half size or full size down so the mesh stretches around you're foot, without having to anchor you're laces down. This also goes for most shoes with a sock liner or inner booty. Also this stops you from looking like you have clown feet when the shoe is broken in/blown out. Imo a shoe should fit like a slip on, before tie the laces down.
Dude they are a awesome shoe. I'm wearing them right now have been skating them for 2 months and haven't had one problem. I love em. In fact they're holding up pretty nicely. And they're not even wearing out that much and Iv been skating heavy in them. All you have to do is lace them up all the way or by sticker laces and you won't have this problem
Just bought the Vans Kyle Walker Pro 2. Put them on, walked around my living room for 2 minutes, took them off, put them back in the box. I have wide feet and the only Vans I can stand are the Rowans. Same size, the KW shoes are a 1/4 inch shorter.
Thats how I feel about Adidas. my heels just dance around in them. I cant skate them. Now, The Chimas were the first pair of Vans Ive skated in over 20 years and I absolutely LOVED them! Right now I'm rocking the DC Kalis Vulc and im digging them.
Yo shout out John for being the best shoe reviewer 100% honesty you can see when Christian Flores don’t like a shoe but he’ll still try to make it work John hill said that shit trash
I have been wearing vans forever. I have wide feet. Some models fit perfect. Others are too narrow. And some fit too loose. I’m with you. I stick to the same model.
Shoes can be the biggest pain sometimes. You can buy the same shoe and they can feel different. I normally have to walk around in skate shoes for about a month. This is before actually skating them.
@John Hill is your progress daily am grip or mob or something with your designs? Just curious, ill prob buy some but won't use it, just not my style to skate with im usually just all black no cut outs or anything like that, but i still like the graphics I might get them all and put them in frames for the wall, maybe two sheets per frame well see
Plz follow Christian Flores, the dude he mentioned that reviewed the shoes. He reviews shoes, decks and other skate gear and isn't sponsored so he's completely honest with all his reviews. And dope editing as well. Keep killin it john

Am I crazy couldn't that whole thing be fixed by just lacing up every hole with some decent length laces?
That’s what I was thinking
Me too. I have these kicks, laced up all holes, never once had them fall off.
Exactly y'all I sk8 these shoes 3 pairs and they are best Vans shoes I ever sk8ed. All holes lace up no problem.
Just lace them all the way it doesn’t seem like he needs longer laces
Came here to say the same. This isn’t really a fair criticism of the shoes so much as it is a criticism of the laces that ship with them. Easy fix.
$100 for skate shoes ? Welcome
To another day in Australia 😂
Yeah %100 percent sean thats kinda cheap for aussie skate shoes
I feel that hahah
That’s because the Australian dollar is more than the American dollar

Why doesn’t homeboy just buy longer laces
Exactly that’s what I was thinking
if you’re paying $100 for skate shoes then i would expect the laces to be the correct length
The shoes come with the correct laces. My question is, why doesn't he lace the shoes up correctly?
@@chillpokebro yea I have these and the laces are perfect, I love mine. Love John but I don't really trust his shoe recommendations. He hates Nike and I've been skating on them for years.

Facts lol
Right, as soon as he said that. I just knew someone took it. Damn
Duuuuuude, i feel that!!! I love the simplicity
I've set a standard to never pay over $60 haha. Mostly look for $40. Call me cheap lol
Back at where i live they make local skate shoes for 25$
I'd say its pretty smart seeing as how they'd inevitably get destroyed lol
hey sean i love your vids

I didnt get why he just didnt laces his shoes, and they wouldnt fall of
yeah, i didnt understand either. why not just lace through the two empty holes?
Everyone: I don’t go over 50$ on skate shoes
Me: Buying skate shoes at Walmart
I did that for like 3 months and would just patch them with duct tape and they would rip so fast lol
I get mine from ROSS. Usually like $25-$35 🤘🏼
what kinda shit do you buy there? just curious cause i wanna try some weird ass skate shoes that nobody has cuz rn the market is kinda boring
I get 70 buck shoe with good toe cap and they last for sooo long

I just got a job at Vans, and I've just stocked up on skate shoes, 50% off is a blessing
