These shoes really lasted me a long time. I had to throw them away because my foot outgrew them, but I had good memories with them. They were Black/Purple/Black (I think) Chris Cole Troopers. Very confortable shoe, very good lookin (Like me!...shut up), and lasts forever. The problem is that there wasn't much grip. I wasn't too much into the material they used for the sole for some reason. Well, not too shure, because they were my first pair of skate shoes, and this was years back. But yeah, I'd recommend them.
