wow yours are way worse than mine,I would like another pair myself.Got a question how much larger than your normal size shoe did you have to get for them to fit? I wear a 9- 9.5 in most shoes so I got a 9.5 in the orchids and my toe was just short of being jammed up.So I am thinking getting a 1 inch bigger shoe next time a 10

Hells bells, I don't wanna be a preacher, but that list has gotta be the wrong way round, surely the independant bmx/skate/shoe shop is the first stop, then the bread heads at tk - treds - jjb(?!!) etc last?

Buying those Orchids shows your support for the scene, so does using your local specialist shop, use em or lose em! (but I know the prices at the maxx, tiz hard to pass up, but most independants will have some shoes on sale at some time )
