there's a shank or something to help make that shoe stiff for cycling. I saw a video and it's a lot stiffer than the first round of cadence shoes DVS made.

I think they look sick too, and of course I will be getting them. But I guess my point is I'm not sure how they'll feel for wakeskating with that stiffness in the foot.

They look a lot like the Obscura shoes they put out this season,, and they fell apart pretty fast for me.

jeff, are you kidding?

they look nothing like the sandbars (no mesh , reinforced soles)

im looking at them for bike, not for wakeskating

the sandbars were a huge dissapoint imo

how can you even come out with a line like that after the cassette shoe
im a diehard dayton (and just dvs in general) fan , but they didnt even have to stick with that model as long as they kept the same materials and sole ...
that foam sole was the best thing that ever happened to a wakeskate shoe
( i rock it in my 6.0 mavriks)

Lollar,

yeah u would

but seriously if it was the same person that made the cassette shoe then they were super inebriated when they did the sandbars

bring back the dayton cassettes!

I didn't get those cinelli shoes yet because they sold out of my size really quick. I need a 6 and right now the smallest size is a 7.5. They're more expensive than I thought they would be, so I'm holding out for the blacks.

The one thing I don't think worked well with the obscura convict is the "waxed" canvas. But the same goes for the cadence version with the same treatment. That material isn't as tough as I thought, sight unseen. Once you get a crack it really tends to peel. But aside from that, I really like the convict. The outsole is tougher and I like the feel of the shoe overall.

oh

i thought you bought every cassette and every pair of dvs's ever? Laughing

wanted a review and some pics

lol

yeah they are pricey but i think if the sole is super stiff then they will be worth the extra 14 bucks (than the avg pair of dvs)

well, I do have all of the cassette DVS shoes, but not every cassette. I do own two pairs of the keirin convicts though...I never thought I'd do that. Laughing

Yeah, it's just budgeting. I bought boards from myles, there's another one I want from someone else...we have to make choices and live with them. Laughing

Poptart, no I'm not kidding.. I think we are talking about two different shoes. Mine don't have mesh. And they do look like those

POPTART · 360 flip Joined: 24 Jul 2007 Posts: 7621

which ones did you get , i thought all of the low top had mesh

i could be wrong but the rico and the convict have mesh on them

and they are a different shape than those
