adidas NEO Men's SE Daily Vulc Lifestyle Skateboarding Shoe

If you're a fan of Adidas shoes, you kinda know what you're getting. Unless you wear Sambas or Gazelles, you're gonna get fairly good arch support. Adidas is one of the few manufacturers who even bother with arch support in their insoles. Yeah, yeah, New Balance and Saucony do, but their shoes all scream "Look at me- I'm a runner!". Well, not all, but you know what I mean. I actually like New Balance, but they don't last for me. I'm hard on shoes. I kick bonfires. I canoe in my street shoes. I throw hay in muddy fields.I bought the white ones, as my "dressy" sneakers. I expected them to be creased in two weeks, with the grey showing through the fake leather upper in no time. Surprisingly, it hasn't happened. True, the whole vamp is one big piece of exposed whatever-it-is, and will eventually get beat to hell, but they're holding up admirably so far. The rubber rand is securely bonded to the upper. The tongue is padded, but minimally, so it's still pretty responsive. The sole is flat. Certainly more tennis than trail running. Skateboarding? Forget it. They're not fooling anyone with that description. Not enough support or cushioning. That's the only reason that I removed a star. Comfy, handsome, versatile, and cheap. If you can get them for less than 40 bucks, it's a bargain. If not, check the Adidas site.

With the neutral grey color, these shoes can go with almost anything casual I have in my closet. Several friends have complimented them and told me they wanted pairs of their own.The laces are a flat, softer fabric and stay tight. Unlike many round laces on shoes these days, these do not require retying throughout the day.The white rubber sole does get dirty quickly, but it cleans easily. Also, any dirt which has gotten on the tops of my shoes simply dusted off, resulting in the shoes looking clean, even after wearing them in dirty environments. Well... it's that or the shoes hide the dirt that well.I've worn these shoes for hours on concrete, asphalt, bare dirt, and other surfaces and my feet never hurt. They also give that "connected" feel to the ground like barefoot shoes do.For my fellow manual transmission drivers: I know finding a good shoe to drive your manual transmission car can be tough. These shoes, with that "connected" feel, are perfect. I absolutely love wearing them when I drive. They are wide enough for heel-toe downshifting, yet narrow enough to not interfere with pedal operation. You will engage your clutch smoothly and have precise feedback from all your pedals.I definitely will get another pair of these at some point in the future.

I've been wearing Adidas Originals for the past seven years, mainly the superstar 2, but they changed the style this year, so, looking for a replacement, I found these. My first impression of these shoes wasn't great, probably simply because they weren't the shoes I was used to. for $45 though I really can't complain, no, these aren't the originals I was used to that ranged at about $70, the quality seemed a tad lower, thinner material...etc. My main gripe is just that they felt a tad smaller than other size 12's I've worn from adidas including running shoes, but perhaps I just need to wear them in. Despite these things, these shoes look great, and have the comfort that I've grown to expect from adidas shoes over the years. I haven't worn these extensively, but knowing adidas shoes, and knowing how comfortable they were straight out of the box, It's unlikely that there would be any issues with wearing these all day. I just wonder how they'll wear over time as the thinner materials including the sole has me a little concerned for the longevity. Overall, great shoes, I'm just picky.

I actually bought these shoes based on a search I did to find a shoe that was great for working on a roofing project ( built a garage with my son this last summer). I needed a shoe that provided great traction and this kept coming up as one to get. I guess it was originally designed for skateboarding so that might explain why it was good for traction. My original thought was I would use them while we were putting on the roof and save them for other projects in the future. When I got them and opened the box they looked really nice, fit well and were comfortable. When I showed up with them at my sons house my daughter in law commented that she was surprised I was going to wear such nice shoes to do the roofing. I told her why I bought them and In the end they worked very well. Once we finished the project the shoes still looked great, just cleaned them up a bit and now they are going to be used as casual shoes. So if you are looking for a shoe with good traction that comfortable you can't go wrong with these. Nice product by Adidas.

I love love love the look of this shoe, but the canvas does not seem like it will last, and it also looks like it will easily be stained, so I avoid mud like the plague. The shoes are comfortable for hours, until they're not, and then they hurt constantly. There is no arch support, as usual for skater shoes; the gel insoles are nice but I can still feel the hardness of the ground when walking. All in all, not as good as a pair of Vans made five or ten years ago... but then again, no shoes are that good anymore. I returned a pair of $80 shoes before buying this one, and it's much better than those... I guess $55 is a good price for a decent pair of shoes nowadays and I'm still stuck in the $30 era. Also, I'm a girl, and these look great on me. Guys get all the good designs.

These shoes were decent while they lasted. The material is somewhat cheap but does make the shoe more lightweight. There is a decent amount of meterial beneath your feet, however there is not much arch support. I would say that if you know what you're going to get at this price point, then go ahead and buy them, but if you want something that will last longer, choose something else.

I loved them !!

Great value for an adidas sneaker. The style is very unique and the fit is quite comfortable

My boyfriend hasn't had a pair of kicks that he's loved like these in a very long time. Delivered in a decent time frame, the box was kind of damaged but it came from across the world & the shoes were still in good condition, which is what really matters. Satisfied! 5*'s & a very big smile on the bf, thank you!

They look good and are very comfy! I love my Adidas!

I ordered these as 11.5 when im 11, they are nice, but i gave them away, i only bought them cause they only had 1 pair left and no size 11's, the moment i bought them they somehow magically had more sizes available, i could of returned them but not worth the effort.
