How to stretch your skate shoes featuring the Nike SB Omar Salazar LR

Cold method of stretching shoes

   
While reviewing the Nike SB Omar Salazar LR, we stumbled upon one crucial problem that prolonged the reviewing process. The shoe was too tight. Strangely enough our foot grew. Now don't be alarmed. I promise you, we went through puberty a long time ago and I can assure you, this isn't some teenager behind this keyboard. The fact of the matter is that even in our old age, people have experienced growth spurts. It's been proven that long-time smokers and vegan/ vegetarians slow down their full growing process due to their choice of lifestyle. This delay of growth is due to their lack of nutrients & other essential vitamins from leading such diets. Not to get too far off course, we were vegan/ vegetarian for about 9 years. Before this review, we started eating meat & sure as shit our foot grew a half inch larger. With the review already started, we knew we had to finish it but the Omar's were far too tight. During the first week of review, our toes were swollen.

Lakai Carroll 5 Review

From Week 1 to Week 4.

We've all aspired to skate like Mike Carroll at one time or another. The sad truth is that it'll never happen. The closest we got to feeling like MC was skating & reviewing his latest pro model. Aside from that, Sebo Walker has been making them look more appealing than ever by appearing in every one of his ads with them. This pushed us over the edge & we just had to review them!

Emerica - Heath Kirchart Retirement Shoe

The Shifter Low in Dark Brown, coming Winter '12.

With managerial issues on his mind rather than the next hammer he has to film, Heath Kirchart is busier than ever. He's taking on the tasks that few others can handle with a straight face, without clenching his fists & while keeping his cool demeanor. Dealing with skateboarders is no simple task, (just ask law enforcement) so naturally managing them is hell but with Heath, it seems the other way around. From the countless times we've seen him torture his fellow teammates to the uncomfortable questions he's asked newly added ams, it seems as though the team has more to worry about than Heath.

Fallen Seventy Six Review

Week 1 to Week 3

It's easy to look over the Fallen team and continue to see that rail chomper image embedded in your head but you should know one thing before continuing to think that way, they're working on it. Fallen has taken a deep initiative to change things up without any fear towards the next step. With rumors of new silhouettes such as a skateable runner, a tech high top & a soccer inspired model coming in the near future, they seem to be taking an initiative to broaden their direction and as a result, their market. Recently, core brands have been getting the reputation of not being able to keep up with the financial capabilities of those companies with larger pockets. This may certainly be the case but the undeniable fact of the matter is that their materials haven't suffered as a consequence. When reading this review, you'll notice our praise for Fallen's new direction, new technology and more so, the durability of the Seventy Six from Tom Asta.
