These feel so much better than the Sk8-Hi to me. Got the great popcush insoles, a more tapered ankle, and the best ankle support other than maybe the Full Cabs. I’ve dedicated these to be my current pair to skate in (designate one or two pairs at a time to keep the rest fresh).

One thing to point out tho is that it is a cupsole, not vulcanized. So while there’s better support/cushioning, there is noticeably less board feel.
