First got the shoes and loved them, they were really comfortable and just felt great. About 2 months after I got them the bottom is almost completely peeled off and they wore down quick. Probably never buying emericas again.

Leo Emerica Review - I like this shoe because it has great board feel. They are uber light and dont have any extra crap like straps or w/e. My kickflips were a little different when I switch from lakia telfords to theses because you feel the board so much. For being so light the sole is actually pretty soft and absorbs landings nicely. I never had heel bruise with these. That being said I feel like these shoes need to be a little longer lasting. But I rode mine for about 2 months and was fine with them, so it's really up to you.

Emerica Leo's - The Leos are amazing; Ive had two pairs of them already. Within at least a half hour to an hour they are broken in. The board feel is outstanding, but the only problem is that the ollie protection where the two lines are, are pretty bad, and end up making a hole after about 2 months of skating, but shoe-goo when you first get them can fix that.

"Looks Great" - I have purchased Emericas on and off now for the last eight years and they rarely disappoint! I had never had a pair I wasn't pleased with until these. I purchased them less than a month ago and the sole is literally falling off, like the glue is not holding it to the shoe. I don't know what the deal is. I got them in maroon and they look awesome, but their structural integrity leaves much to be desired.

Great shoes - Ok, some people say that theyre too thin, too narrow, too little padding. If you like to skate stairs of 7+ or loading docks a lot, then get some Nikes or something because youll get an unpleasant sting on big stuff. If you like to skate more park/street/transition/smaller gaps (6 stairs or lower), then you will be extremely satisfied. They wear out fast if all you do is constantly do flip tricks and nothing else, but for me, 1-2 months or more is how long I can skate em (which is really decent). It all depends on if you like really fit shoes. I love em because of the flick and extra board feel makes tricks cleaner. I actually skate anywhere from 30 min - 4 1/2 hours a day and they last good. If you like Vans, Lakai, Etnies, Dekline, or any other good vulks, then youll probably love these shoes. If they are too thin for ya, then buy a different insole problem solved. They are between a half size too small and true.

Emerica Leo - Really thin, really grippy, and tons of boardfeel. I was hesitant to buy these shoes because of the cushioning for stairs. Stairs and drops won't really bother you all that much if you just roll when you fall, or just don't let it bother you. So far I have ollied an 8 stair with these, and bailed a 9 stair and the pain was not all that bad.

These shoes are great the first two days until the toe part starts wearing out and then a week later I have a very big hole in the toe. If youre a kick flip junkie like me, dont expect these to last you more than 1-2 weeks.

These shoes are plain wicked. I have the maroon color and I wear them basically everyday, I get compliments all the time. They are by far the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. I dont skate hard anymore, I just mainly cruise and film and these are great for what skating I do, do. I think that I will be purchasing more pairs of these shoes. Zappos is GREAT, you might find shoes cheaper somewhere else, but they wont come WITH THE PLASTIC AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX or as undamaged as the shoes are. They are seriously "fresh out of the box" and you cant beat that overnight shipping.

Do you people even skate - These and the Reynolds 3s are THE BEST shoes I have ever skated. Anyone who knows anything about skating, and has tried these shoes, will tell you that these shoes are Phenomenal. Perfect board feel and amazing grip and response. All of you kids still riding Adios and DVS are in for a rude awakening.

Weak shoe - This shoe stinks. It is a monstrosity of modern skate shoe look and design. Most poorly made shoe I've owned. Support is terrible and the heel is already disconnected from the body of the shoe, even though I generally only wear this shoe to cruise around or to go to the gym to lift weights for the chicas. I'm definitely disappointed with Emerica shoes and will never come near their shoes or anyone who wears them. Definitely sticking with the brands I know and trust: Vans, Lakai, DVS, or Globe. Don't waist your time, trust me!

Emerica Leo review - These are hands down the best skate shoes out there. I'm on my third pair. They probably aren't the best for jumping stairs, but what vulcanized shoe does do a good job of protecting your feet from all these huge stairs you people say you skate. They are perfect for street and vert skating. Board feel is crazy good and they do have some heel protection. I also recommend Leo Mids.

Awesome shoe. I skate them hard and they dont rip. They are built very well. Perfect board feel and grips the board great. I would recommend that before trying a 50 stair kick flip or 100 stair handrail that you get used to skating in them cuz you have to be confident of landing your trick. Otherwise your feet will be sore after youre done skating... not WHILE youre skating. Thats why these are such good shoes.
