Be Prepared For A Minimalist Sneaker
Once youre into the Sk8-His theyre minimalist shoes. This means theres very little in the way of arch support, which makes you feel close to the ground. Although they take a little while to wear in, ultimately you should be left with a comfortable shoe.
The midsole is somewhat nonexistent, especially compared with todays sneakers. In essence, the construction of the inner is a layer of low-density foam and some rubber at the heel. Theres no shank, rigid foam, or anything to shape the shoe, making it bend pretty uniformly on top of the foot.
Its worth bearing in mind that if you want a comfy shoe, you might want to look at an aftermarket insole. If youre planning on skating in these, the same goes for you. While comfy for walking around in as a lifestyle shoe, these arent up to the modern standard of comfort for most sneakers.
