Shift Fuel Shoes Initial Review

As much as style matters, when it comes to gear comfort and function honestly come first. Upon watching my teammate E.T. take his 12 bar to his leg a couple times in a few days I decided its time to gear up for the upcoming season. No longer will I be riding in skate shoes, waiting for the unknown to destroy my feet/ankles. Found a deal on a pair of Shift Fuel's on SR that had only been worn once so I hoped on them as fast as they were posted up. About a week later I received an awesome package on the front porch.

First thing that I noticed when pulling these out of the box was that these thing are sweet. The styling and look and feel of materials is awesome.
When putting these on they are comfy and feel like they offer good protection. The loop on the rear of the boots help get your heel into them without cramming fingers in them or slamming feet on the ground. Decent laces tighten up the boots really well. Only complaint so far is the velcro strap to hold down the laces, time will tell if this is quality velcro or loses its "hold" over time.

Even if paying full retail for these I believe they are still a good buy. Great looking boot, feel great so far, and cheap considering how much a new ankle or reconstruct would cost.

Now I just need to get out and put these to use so that I can get an extended review on these bad boys, hopefully everything will be back from paint and powder this week so I can do work.
