Sal 23

The STI insole on these actually does something — my heels don't ache after a two-hour session like they did with my old pairs. Board feel is still there, which I was worried about losing with a cushioned sole. Wore them straight out of the box, no break-in needed.

Been skating these for a few weeks now and the board feel is exactly what I wanted from a low-top. The Sal 23 shape locks my foot in without choking the toes, and I can wear them straight off the board without my feet screaming.

The STI insole actually makes a difference on longer sessions, my arches don't ache like they used to after an hour of skating. Board feel is still solid though, which surprised me since most cushioned shoes feel mushy. Already thinking about grabbing a second pair.
