DVS Getz 3
Price: £39.99 (Managed to get them in a sale)
Shoe ImageOut of the two pairs of skate shoes I have, I definitely favour the DVS Getz over my Adio Bam's! They are about 1/3 lighter than Adio's and very sturdy and stable so you don't feel like you will bust your ankles if you land primo or mess up a trick. Another plus point is that you can really feel the board under your feet and you feel like you have control over the board instead of being weighed down by shoes that would be better suited as bricks than shoes. As regards durability they seem very good after countless numbers of ollies but only time will tell how much these shoes can withstand.
The only problem I had with them was that, even though they were the right size, the curvature of my foot wasn't steep enough which caused a lot of pressure on the side of my foot because the insole of the shoe is slightly curved upwards on one side and it felt a little uncomfortable at first but they are starting to feel better as I have used them more often.
*Edit* Just to say that if anyone else has the same problem as I do with this shoe, pull out the insole and peel off the blue foam triangle on the sides of the insoles that solved the problem for me!
Overall I think the DVS Getz derserve 8/10.
