I'll start the ball rolling with:
Nike Terminators Los.
Not a specific skate shoe, but has plenty of feel, are quite durable uppers and the soles arent too shabby either. Lack a padded tongue and no ankle support is a pain sometimes but overall, looks good,feels good,skkates good.

Etnies callicut 2's

Well got em cheep on sale for 30 quid not bad nice shoe lasted me long in skating but were it started to rip was the side leaving a massive hole ripping your socks, the sole isnt very good went really quickly leaving no grip, they was quite comfy.

All in all: %55

I've got Nike 6.0's.

I got them for £22.50 in a sale. They've been not very strong. :-/

I've noticed a hole starting to appear on the side, where I drag my foot up to ollie. :-(. It started to develop like the second day I got them, but the whole only started to appear today. I got them about 2 weeks ago. I've got other shoes though biggrin.gif
Halfway Tree
Element Columbia shoes

I was a bit speculative about them because I never really thought of element as a good producer of shoes but they were reduced from 50 to £25 so I thought what the heck and bought them. I was surpised because they offer very good support and also are comftable, They arnt very durable but apart from that £25 well spent laugh.gif

Air Max 95.

Initially OK for a few hours, the exterior air bubbles literally just popped, causing the whole sole to collapse. the uppers werent overly good, but if you just want to roll around, my good theyre comfy. An expensive mistake.

DVS Getz 3
Price: £39.99 (Managed to get them in a sale)
Shoe Image

Out 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.

Has anybody seen these anywhere?

Has anyone heard of Kustoms? I'm wearing some at the moment, they're fairly strong and very comfortable and they are quite light, The Soles aren't bad either and it looks pretty good. They are pretty stable when Landing a trick and doing Primo stands. The price was £29.99 and it was on offer aswell.

Kustom Detour (Black/Camo)

EDIT: I would rate it 85%

Nike 6.0 Air Insurgents -

RRP: £60-65

Paid: £40

Bought at my local Nike Outlet store for 40 pounds, great bargin. Although the TPU Toepeice claims "Bulletproff" Status is is Not very "Skate-proof". For the first Month of skating, these will be Holy. They will Eventually wear down, but still remain comfortable. Very versatile skate shoes, great look, although not as hard wearing as they should be. OOne great downfall is the laces rip and break extremely easy on front foot. Not suited for non-switch/non-nollie skater. If you're like me, and do nothing but normal or fakie tricks, buy some extra laces.

Good buy, worth every penny.

Globe Clash.45

Price : £35 from exit in manchester, i beleive they have more store throughout the uk.

This was pretty much a waste of money, i expected quite alot of globe and when i was trying the shoes on they felt incredibly comphy, which they were, and so bought them. For the first week they were going well nice. Lace protectors didnt work but they never do so thats not a change. It was about 2 weeks into skating them when a problem id never had with other shoes started to appear. Yeh the sole started to peel off, the whole thing. I tried super glueing back on but thats lasted about 2 days.

If you want a pair of shoes for 2 weeks then these shoes are 9/10, otherwise i give these 2/10
GOODA
the best shoes i have skated which are the most durable have got to be fallen chiefs which only cost £40 from routeone . these shoe are great i would recommend them if you go through skate shoes like anything.

the worst buy i had for skate shoes would be the circa al50's which i paid £40 for which only lasted me a week, so i advise you not to buy these.

I've only had one pair of skate shoes Vans - http://www.schuhstore.co.uk/images/product/1905246050_lg.jpg Vans Kalei. I think they were £50 but they're gonna last for ages and cuz I'm only a beginner I'm not doing anything big that will completely wreck my shoes, but I've been perfecting my ollies, doing them constantly for 3 days now and no holes have appeared and theyr'e dead comfy.
Darkest
Etnies Arto Saari (2? the ones with tree graphic on the side)

Took a while to break in get used too but great to skate in and I think their gonna last a while too.

Vans- Rowley squares. The best shoes ive ever skated by far. So much board feel and really light, and they wore in straight away. They arent really that durable though kinda seemed to fall apart kinda quick.
