I'm not sure how many of you are actually interested in the C1RCA Gallant review. I understand why most of you may be apprehensive towards believing in a brand like C1RCA. It's well know by Mall Grabbers and I know none of us want to be socially related to those skaters that have been skating because of it's MTV popularity.

But on the other hand, it's a shoe from one of the most technical, stylish and respected skater's in skating today. There are so many skateboarders that don't get enough recognition and maybe I'm coming from a east coast perspective, but this shoe has been entirely slept on by the skate community. Hopefully, this review will contribute to some "changes" as far as showing what C1RCA footwear has to offer. I've been skating the Gallant's for over 5 weeks because of it's great durability and performance but have generated 4 weeks of data on it's performance. As usual, it was skated 5 days a week for 1 hour a day.

C1RCA Gallant Details:

• Low-Profile cupsole 
• Fusion grip outsole rubber
• C1RCA herringbone outsole 
• Elastic centering tongue straps
• EVA insole 

I didn't purposely put this review up after 4/20, but I guess in retrospect it was a good idea. For those recovering from those forgetful activities, you'll have all the time in the world to read this review without forgetting it within the next hour.

During the month of skating these insoles, I found that reviewing this topic was going to be completely challenging. It's a different world than reviewing shoes; with shoes it's always been more cosmetic and you yourself can judge visually how the shoe performed to your standards. This review is going to be strictly from my point of view. I actually accept this challenge willingly after going through countless injuries within this past year. I've been looking for a solution or at least a prolonged fix until the day we all have universal healthcare. While reviewing these insoles, I generated a list of things to do in order to test the protection and promise these companies make with each of it's sales.

Disclaimer: I bought all of these insoles myself so I am not favoring either company and I don't want to hear anything about me working for whichever company I favor at the end of this review. I only mention this because it's happened to a fellow blogger who has his own review on this topic, be sure to check it out: SO TRILL
