Osiris Men's Turin Skate Shoes - Durable & Comfortable Sneakers for Skateboarding, Streetwear & Casual Wear | Perfect for Skaters & Urban Fashion

There are little things about them that make them look cheap like the vinyl that they used on the outside which loses it's texture really fast and you can see glue along the seams which is something that you probably wouldn't see in a $70 pair of Vans. For the price of these shoes though, you get a very nice looking canvas skate shoe that feels solid (except for the vinyl letting on the inside that already wore off). It's only been a week but you can tell from the picture that my son is not gentle with his shoes and these seem like they're going to work for him and his shoe-destroying ways. I really like the elastic on the tongue that keeps it feeling snug even if the laces get loose. I would prefer leather on the heal and outside so that these would last longer and look nicer but for less than half the price of other shoes I think these will do just fine and I'll be less upset if he comes home with a hole in them. Glad I found them and I'll be buying a pair for myself in the future.
