@AdamJ that's a shame. Hope I have better luck, but at least than £50 a pair (sale price) I'd be happy to use these as my beater kicks.

My pair just touchdown. They seem to have more of a quality feel from my initial impressions. Going to try break them in the upcoming July 4th weekend and week.

As for sizing, they do run just a hair bigger than my usual Vans sizing. Though not enough for any discomfort or annoying heel slippage.

They look pretty cool. Don’t let @Seul see those socks.

Ah man those Sd'A socks are fantastic!..

Are those just the slipperiest on floors, or what? I’ve never seen a sole with that little going on.

It's weird, there's almost an extra (super thin) layer of whatever they use to make the soles (PVC?) that wears away to reveal more of a grippy surface after a few days use.

Here are mine after 3 days wear.

Still looks like it would be danger on tile or really any hard surface.

@sabergirl had the same thought when I got them. Wore them for most of the day yesterday and didn't notice any issues though.

Jack Purcells have a sole like that. I’ve never noticed any excessive slip with those. If it’s like tires then the more surface touches the ground, the more traction you get.
