Dresden or Fremont

I like the look of the fremonts, but i dont think they will last as long as the dresdens do. Anyone wearing these shoes want to shed some light on me about this?

i have freemonts and i think they'll last longer. i know dresdens rip pretty easily. the freemonts sort of scuff easily but i think they hold up.

dunno about the freemonts, but the dresdens do rip easily. the mesh with the grip tape just doesnt work out that well. but i still love teh dresden and will probably get a new pair when mine are finally worn out

is there much of a weight/draining difference from the dresdens to the freemonts/novas/milans?

i found a sweet pair of orange mesh novas, but there is no sense of getting them if they wont drain as well, and are twice the weight...

there are quite a few pairs of those 4 styles in different colors of mesh other than what you find on wake related sites...

I just ordered a pair of Freemonts, I personally like their appearance a lot more than the Dresdens... and just looking at them, they seem like they will hold up better.

Friedhouse, Freemont.... there sick

I ordered some from Boardstop and their WAY better than the dresdens....

theflyingduck, The freemont is much lighter and abbsorbes(sp?) less water in the tounge... so when fully wet the freemont is still way lighter....

mine have been holding together quite well too...

Ive also noticed that they dry alot quicker...

I heard the same thing from Kit at buywake. The shoes should be out very soon according to Buywake.
