Supra owen low tops
I found these shoes to be a little bit of a disappointment from other supra shoes i owned. heres why.

I will post the only good thing i liked about them first.
Comfort. The comfort of these shoes is amazing they have a mesh lining, Foam grip, super lightweight and flexible. The Shoes mold to your feet after breaking them in and i always love that. They are great shoes for jogging in or when needing to walk very long distances. And this is where the good stops lol. I hate the raised heel guard at the back, it ends up bending and like rubbing ur heel to all hell causing blisters or wrecking your socks. But thats the one comfort complaint, wide footed people could wear these comfortably also. comfort rating 4
Style. The style of them is ok i guess it isnt anything super special the special materials used make it a little cooler. But the style is sort of the prototypical skate shoe and when i bought them on the website there was only 3 different options to choose from so there isnt many different color combo’s. Not to mention the combo’s they did have are LOUD like a bright yellow and blue etc, the style of them is not great but i wont diss it too much and will give a style rating of 3.5
Durability. Well with all these special technologies in them and the foam grip makes these shoes completely fall apart when using them boarding. They literally lasted me 1 month. Although i dont know if these are designed for boarding they are a boarding shoe company and would expect them to be capable of boarding without it wrecking the entire shoe. My grip tape took the foam grip and destroyed it. Also the mesh liners, all in all these shoes should not i repeat NOT be used for boarding. Durability rating 2.5
Price. For the limited abilities of these shoes the price is not worth the trouble. i paid 90$ but they say 80$ now on the website. The cool lightweight flexible etc technologies are cool but i dont feel they warrant the price they are going for as all you can safely use these for is walking and even then with the foam grip if it gets overly wet it starts to degrade easy. the price is not worth the shoe and i wouldnt recommend these to anyone looking at supra brand right now, They are a great shoe company but i feel these to be a complete let down and under achievers. price rating 1
overall 3
price 1
durability 2.5
style 3.5
comfort 4
