Osiris Men's Relic Skate Shoes - Durable High-Performance Skateboarding Sneakers for Street Style & Extreme Sports | Perfect for Skateboarding, BMX, and Urban Fashion

I've owned Osiris shoes in the past and loved them, so I was pretty excited when I saw these at this price. I chocked it up to them being an older model, but now know Osiris now offers "performance" and "price point" shoes. The feel, fit and finish aren't as good as my former Osiris shoes. For starters the shoe is about 1.5 to 2 sizes smaller than listed. If you've always wanted to tell someone you wear a size 13 shoe, but actually wear an 11, this is a winner. Otherwise, you might want to steer clear. There is some spot at the base where the tongue is sowed/glued in at the back of the toe box that hurts quite a bit. It's like a spot that they didn't line that ends up wanting to chew through the top of your foot. It might be less of an issue if you buy a pair two sizes larger than what you normally wear so that it actually fits. Finally, there's just something not right about the appearance of the shoe when you first take them out of the box. They look more k-Swiss than skate shoe. I had to look at them in the box for like a week before I actually took them out and put them on.In the end, I wish I hadn't bought them, but at this price it wasn't worth it to mail them back, and now that they've been worn a little bit it doesn't feel right to return them. I think I'll end up giving them away. It's a bummer because I really wanted to like these shoes.Osiris makes a good shoe in the "performance" variety, that's for sure. Given everything that's different about this shoe and my previous experience I would be inclined to believe that this was made by a separate manufacturer on a licensing agreement with lower quality materials and less quality control. Something akin to a big box shoe with a slightly higher price because of the brand. If you want Osiris shoes, buy them, just don't buy the cheap ones.
