Emerica Westgate - Men's

The Brandon Westgate Pro Model is here and features everything you need to rep that unmatched East Coast style. Suede/leather upper. Mid-top profile for extra support. Triple stitched reinforced toe. Padded tongue & collar for premium comfort. STI Foam™ lite level 2 footbed. System G2™ heel cushioning. Vulcanized construction. Imported. "It’s kind of like the Jerry’s, but has a little bit more going on with it. They fixed the vulcanized sole so the suede goes down further and the vulcanized area goes up so it won’t pull apart at the heels. It’s kind of like a basic mid-top. I always liked mid-tops that were vulcanized. So it’ll have that. Plus, they’ve got this new insole that’s in it that’s really soft and cushiony that I’m really stoked on. I’m really stoked on them, they’re really awesome." - Brandon Westgate

the westgates are very comfortable and stylish but the dont last long for skateboarding so i wouldn't really recommend them if you skateboard because im a skateboarder and they only lasted me a week and a half.
Pros: breaks in easy, long lasting soles, looks great, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, comfortable, good cushioning, good ankle support
Cons: sole loses grip, rips easy, laces break easily, non-durable

I started skating these about 3 weeks ago and the toe cap is completely torn apart that I can fit my fist through it. The tongue of the shoe ripped completely off out of nowhere. The only thing I loved about these shoes are the comfort they give. It literally feels like pillows hugging your ankles. So, if you're looking for comfortable shoes then these are them. If you skateboard almost every day, I'd suggest getting other shoes. Preferably the Reynold's 3.
Pros: breaks in easy, long lasting soles, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, runs true to size, good cushioning, good ankle support, laces don't break, comfortable, good grip
Cons: sole loses grip, rips easy, non-durable, tongue rips off when tugged

Great shoes!!! skate awesome, not too grippy at all but just enough to get the job done. I skated them with brand new grip on my board and they skated perfectly and arent wearing too quickly. BUY THIS SHOE! im ordering another pair for sure. Lots of compliments on them as well. Emerica wins again :)

It fits great especially with my wider foot. Great for when you have to bail from a high place. Falls get absorbed and the padding makes your feet feel good no matter what you're doing. Also these have great board feel and are extremely stylish.
Pros: breaks in easy, long lasting soles, looks great, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, durable, good cushioning, good ankle support, laces don't break, sole keeps grip a long time, comfortable, good grip
Cons: rips easy

Ever since I broke my ankle I've needed a shoe that could give me great ankle support. Always being a supporter of Emerica I bought a pair of Westgate's. The second you put your foot into them it literally feels like you are walking on pillows. I was able to use them for 7 months while skateboarding hard everyday. The grip is perfect and it doesn't ware out fast. And the shoes don't ware out until the 4-5th month. Once I hit 7 months I started to get a small hole after flicking it so many times. I've bought 3 more pairs since and HIGHly recommend them. They fit true to size. They are the comfiest shoes you will skateboard in and they look good too.
Pros: breaks in easy, long lasting soles, looks great, good board feel, stylish, doesn't rip, durable, good cushioning, good ankle support, sole keeps grip a long time, comfortable, good grip
Cons: laces break easily

These shoes are great, and I was able to skate them immediately after opening them. The only downside is the toe cap is sown at a very vulnerable place, the seam ripped after only a few ollies.
Pros: breaks in easy, long lasting soles, looks great, good board feel, stylish, good cushioning, good ankle support, comfortable, good grip
Cons: rips easy, laces break easily, non-durable

This shoe is heavy, but the mid sole lasts a long time because there is a good amount of it. It doesnt have to much grip and there are a lot of panels to rip. They are amazingly comfortable shoes though!
Pros: stylish, good cushioning, good ankle support, comfortable
Cons: soles wear out, rips easy, poor grip, laces break easily, non-durable, poor board feel, does not break in quickly

Your feet will feel super protected in these shoes, they gave me confidence to try stuff that could typically destroy my feet in less padded shoes. The sole is cushy so harsh impacts are nothing, but no board feel is sacrificed. The threading around the toe eventually blew out but not exceptionally quickly, the rubber on the bottom of the shoe actually lost tread before I had any real problem with holes in the sides. Also very stylish, they make you feel steezy all around.
Pros: breaks in easy, looks great, good board feel, cool colors, stylish, good cushioning, good ankle support, comfortable, good grip
Cons: sole loses grip, soles wear out, laces break easily

i originally bought these shoes for skating, but they are just way to thick, so it gives a bad board feel, but other than that they are extremely comfortable and good looking
Pros: long lasting soles, looks great, cool colors, stylish, good cushioning, good ankle support, sole keeps grip a long time, comfortable, good grip
Cons: poor board feel, not the best for skating
