What up guys? This is Tim with Tactics and today I'm gonna be talking to you about the Busenitz Pro.
I've been skating this shoe for a little over a week everything's still looking pretty good
the suede has got some wear on it. The laces are looking pretty good I broke this top lace
and I just tied it off. I haven't replaced it yet.
I feel like this shoe has a much longer break-in period than a lot of other shoes.
Since the heel is so stiff and thick, it took me about four days to really get used to it and break it in.
And I mean, sometimes I still feel a little not confident with some tricks.
But the one advantage of the blocky thick heel is that it really makes heel flip tricks a lot easier.
it just hooks the board in a way that just makes it flip really well.
One thing I noticed about this shoe right away is that the tongue will just go to the side no matter what you do.
It just flops over to the side and I was fighting in it first and adjusting it and it just kept going back
and so I just kind of stopped fighting it and just let it go there and
it doesn't really bother me anymore because I just don't think about it.
So, summing up after the first week it's a seems like it's gonna be really durable.
Not too much wear in the high wear areas but it just took quite a bit to break in.
Now we're back with another update this is three and a half weeks in the shoe.
It's holding up pretty good this little flap started coming down but
there's a another piece of suede under there so it's like doubled up.
And here in the toe it started ripping. The thing that ripped the most
was right here, this stitching that holds the on the laces.
It kind of made the shoe fit a little loose because the laces were getting pulled away from where they were.
to tighten up the laces I replaced the lace once I actually replaced it pretty
So I just had recently so they actually lasted most of the life of the shoe.
The tread is still really grippy. These grooves are really deep so it probably did wear down quite a bit but
you can't feel it. And the grooves still have a lot of grip.
I'd say the shoe fits pretty true to size. I have kind of a wide foot so it was a little tight
right here in the in the toe area but after a couple days it stretched out and it felt pretty good.
The insole on the shoe is removable it's pretty thin it's really squishy but the heel is still pretty thick.
Even when you take it out, but you can put some aftermarket things in there but I don't think you'll need it.
This shoe has got a lot of support just built in so I wouldn't necessarily recommend
putting an aftermarket insole in there but you can if you want.
So overall I would say this shoe held up really well. Only right here is the spot that kind of wear out the most.
But you got multiple layers here that's gonna last. I would recommend this shoe for anyone who
likes to skate gaps. It's got a ton of support especially in the heel it's very thick.
And the toe has plenty of board feel so you can get really technical in these shoes.
You can do anything in these shoes but if you were gonna skate gaps, this would be a good shoe for that.
