Well iv been reviewing DC a lot so i figured id throw in another brand Elements Winston Cup Shoe
This shoe caught my eye when i seen it on
the rack at the shoe store especially since it was made with a lot of
hemp material so i figured i would give it a try and see. Element doesnt
have as big of a shoe selection as some other companies but most of
their models are quality made.
Comfort. Well the comfort of these shoes
was good,,,, for the first few weeks, then the backing in them started
to fray and expose my heel to constant rubbing from the shoes moldings
and bunched up material. The hemp that is incorporated into the shoe
also limits how much the shoe forms to your foot after wearing it for a
period of time. With me i like my shoes to act like a baseball glove
when u first buy it they are stiff but as u work it in it forms to your
hand becoming more comfortable used then it did new. Well these shoes
that did not happen. I am a fan of hemp made clothing but i would say in
shoes iv never had a good experience out of all the shoes iv had that
had some portion of hemp in them. comfort rating would be a 2.5
Style. Well given it had a hemp portion in
it that they me to them, when buying them there was only a couple
different choices mainly just different colors but doing some research
for this review iv found that there is many different color combos etc.
im going to keep the style portion short they are decent looking shoes
nothing super special not too flashy not too plain so ill give them a
style rating of 3.5
Durability. The durability of these shoes
is not good.. they did not last me very long at all before wearing them
caused my feet pain. the backing in them worn down very quickly giving
me blisters and eventually making it painful to wear at all and that was
only maybe a month after purchase. the hemp portion of the shoe also i
feel made a impact of the durability of these shoes as the threading
that holds the tread to the body came undone thus causing them to
separate. I was not very pleased with these shoes even though i liked
the looks of them. Boarding was the only plus side for these shoes they
did stand up to boarding for the first 2 weeks probably due to the hemp
even though that is probably the reason they fell apart later on. i
would give a Durability rating of 2.5
Price. The price of these shoes was the
major plus side of these shoes with all of the problems i had and
complaints i only paid 45$ for them regular price was 79$ so that was a
plus for 45$ if your are just going to walk in them maybe not wear them
everyday or want a cheaper brand name skate shoe for a younger kid thats
feet are still growing then these would be a good deal. they are again
on sale right now on the element website for 45$, heres a link http://ca.shop.elementbrand.com/p/shoes/all-shoes/winston-cup?style=FMWANWCP&clr=BMP
The price rating of these shoes is a 4 and
only because im taking into account that i would buy these shoes for
youth whos feet are growing and wont be wearing them for long before
they need a new pair of shoes, and that they are only $45.
overall rating 3.5
Price 4
Durability 2.5
Comfort 2.5
Style 3.5
