REVIEW
DC ARGOSY HIGH-TOP Words: Gautham Kamath • • • • • • •
• • •
This review was done over a course of 2 weeks and gathered about 20 hours of skating in the process. To begin with it’s a very sturdy shoe, takes time to break-in . Even after the break-in point, the Argosy ( High-top ) will still have a sturdy feel without getting all floppy due to their thick leather heel counter. Being a sturdy shoe with cup soles its still fits to the size . Toe side of the shoe is narrow cup soles which makes flicking the board easier . Impact G technology is really good , helps a lot in landing high impact tricks . The Impact G, along with it’s cup sole technology will keep your feet protected. Suede - It’s Super Suede and it hardly rips and is one of the stronger suede’s used in skateboarding shoes today. The outsole may seem a little thick but once you break-in, the pill pattern tread & the board feel is more than accommodating and it grips well too . I personally prefer to skate in low-tops but I recommend beginners to go for the high-tops, it saves you from ankle injuries . Overall with all the technologies like Impact G , Cup soles and DC Super Suede there is no question about durability . “ this shoe lasts long ”.
