trialsguru Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 im on the look out for some new hi top skate shoes as my old es tom penny 2's are dying. before i buy a new pair of the es' shoes i just wanted to ask about these as they look quite good.my main issue is sole thickness, i know the old 661 duallys had a very thick sole which i hate.so is anyone using these? how thick are the soles? and does the taki compound work?thanks pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I used them, I wasnt very impressed.They offer good protection, but they are dam heavy.I thought they would be really grippy too, but they were almost the slippiest shoes I have worn, they also wore through the soal in about 2 months.not good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 If you want some sticky soeld shoes get some 5-10 Impacts they are better thanthe 661's and come ina high top version to comply with the shoe rule, if theya re still using it.
