Rips, I have had these shoes for about two weeks and have not skated in them at all. They are horrible. I have gotten small rips in the bottom. I don't recommend.

This is my all time favorite shoes, I have gotten four pairs already, all black ones from Zappos. It is like stepping in clouds except that it feels sturdy. Skating wise, it is great. It is not too thick like Circas or Nike SB and not too thin like Vans' Chukka Low. It provides great heel protection. It doe snot last very long if you skate everyday, around one to one and a half months. But it is cheap, and worth it!

Great shoe. Footbraking will rub through the sole quick if you longboard. Grippy, good looking, but they get really weird looking when they are broken in.

This shoe is fantastic! I skate everyday for about 6 hours. The shoe kept in place for about 3 weeks then the suede started to wear down. I still have them; this is the fourth week and plan to keep them for a little while more. Also the side of the shoe was the first to start ripping, so I hope they make a leather pair. So anyone who has good taste in shoes and wants to skate like crazy GET THIS SHOE!

This shoe looks amazing, feels great, and helped me learn new tricks...but it rips extremely easily so if you got the money to keep buying this shoe then get it; if you don't I would recommend Lucas Puig shoes.

Amazing Shoe!!!! You can start skating in these right when you get them, no need to break them in. These stayed intact for about 2 or 3 months and didn't look worn out much. They've got great arch support and unless you have really gargantuan feet, these are nice (for the narrow-footed people). And, they look cool, so what's not to love?!

These were quite possibly the most comfortable shoes I've ever set my foot in. They felt broken in right when I got them. However, after skating for about a month, the front part started to peel off (the white part). But that was easily fixed. They're cool style-wise, skating-wise, and comfort-wise. I highly recommend these for the amateur skater to pro.

MANCHESTER - The Manchester Selects are probably my favorite shoe from Lakai. They’re super grippy which is a major plus, there's tons of board feel I could actually fell the curves and that’s something I haven't done with other shoes. They feel worn in from the moment you put them on they are just an overall GREAT SHOE.

Lakai Manchester Selects... I've had these shoes for 3 weeks now; they've already started to wear down most of the outsole to where I'm almost completely to the suede. Keep in mind I do a LOT of flip tricks, mainly Tre Flios, Big Flips, Fakie Tre flips, varials, Switch Tre flips, and so on. These shoes look GREAT at first, but one you skate then for a week or so, lose their luster. I do highly recommend these shoes though. The grip is STILL IN ALMOST NEW SHAPE! Buy these shoes, their great!
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: I would also recomend the Lakai Coda shoes, as well as the Lakai MJ 2 and Rick Howard Select shoes.

My Skater Nephew is THRILLED - We bought these shoes for my nephew for his 14th birthday - he is passionate about skateboarding and just LOVES these shoes. The look, feel, fit, and "cool factor" scored some big points for this Aunt and Uncle! Thanks Zappos, it was a pleasure to do business with you!!!

Definitely a Great Shoe! I've been testing out different skate shoes for a while now and one of my friends recommended the Manchester Select, so I gave it a shot. I was pleased to learn that they needed little break-in time and felt great right out of the box. They are also great shoes for long skate sessions due to their durability and comfort. They have pre-formed soles so make sure you get the right size or they may feel weird at first. Overall this is one of the most stylish and skate-able shoes I have ever worn. Great job Lakai!

Buy this shoe - I got these in the normal black/white and absolutely love them. They’re super grippy, have perfect amount of board feel. And they are the most durable vulk shoe I've ever had. I usually skate in old school vans so it's pretty hard to find a shoe with enough board feel and enough impact support but this is it. It's also extremely sturdy for being a low shoe. The sides are kinda hard and soft and a perfect way so that if you take an awkward step or something when you’re walking you don't die and it won't hurt. There’s also lace protection all the way up the shoe which is great because I didn't rip a single shoelace while skating these. They are the perfect shape of your foot, and they're actually wide enough so your foot doesn't really overflow of the sides. And I don't have wide feet so don't think they'll be too loose for you. They are my favorite shoe to skate in ever, they're really simple, they look great, and they skate great and I'll definitely buy more pairs.
