Byerly 2's i have not heard any complaints about. I am getting some very soon. Also i have been hearing Adio Quests are really solid. DVS's rip up fast.

stay away from the DVSs, they do rip. I know from experience.

try ccs.com for the Quest, they have 2 colors on there for 40 bucks

The Byerly's are the best looking in my opinion and from what ive heard they hold up nice..

The byerlys are cool shoes, and hold up well, but there uncomfortable in my opinion, and I have ridden regular skate shoes, DVS, Byerlys and Kampus shoes.

yeah, the leather on the byerlys gets all stiff when they dry. my boi gets massive blisters. tha adio quests are the best in my opinion, and i've ridden in all the above stated.

Yeah I ride the Milans but they do tear... but they are so comfortable and don't have the hard/stiff feel that the rest do... mesh makes em nice and flexible..

try the velcrow shoes from walmart, i use those, and they have good grip on the bottom, easy to adjust to how loose or tight you want them, they are light, and they dry pretty easily also, and plus you can get them for like $15. they are called Athletic Works i believe

But yeah I heard the Byerly II are good skating shoes too Wink

LKNboarder7982, that sounds like a good idea, I might need to try that.

I found the Byerly's more comfortable than DVS. They were not very soft when new but once broken in I find them very comfortable. I tried on a friends Byerly II's last week and those suckers are comfy, much softer than the first year!!!
