Amazing shoes. The herman 2s are possibly the best shoes I have ever owned. The sti foam molded insoles are hands down the best insole ever made. The gel cushion on these is very good, especially if you’re the type who does a lot of stairs and big ledges. They are super grippy and have amazing board feel, and the flick is perfect. I’ve had these for over a month of hardcore skating and I have no actual rips. the piece of the shoe with the lace loops kind of starts to fall off, but when you see it coming loose in its early stages just stick a tiny bit of shoe goo or any kind of glue really under it so it holds together. Everything else about this shoe is amazing. BUY THE HERMAN 2s!!!!

The Best... EVER! I got these at a skate shop near my house, and all I have to say is WOW! These are hands down, the best skate shoes I have ever used... they grip like no other shoe I have ever used before... they are as comfortable as possible, and they have the System g2 in the heel for all of the stair bandits like myself!! A clean design with special features makes this shoe a must have... I got the black/tan colorway... buy them only if you really do skateboard... they will have your nollie inward heels poppin as high as Bryan Herman himself! I learned nollie tre flips in these!! YAY!

Best Shoe Ever - This is amazing. I skate really hard every day and do a lot of flip tricks and so finally after 2 months of hardcore skating, the rubber on the toe wore down a lot, but just put some shoe goo on it and it lasts another month and the grip felt the same as when I first got the shoe and just amazing board feel!!! BUY this shoe!!!

These Shoes are The Man

They look freshy fresh, and are super comfortable. I wear either a 10 or 10.5, and these clock in at the 10.5 size for me. When skating, they have sick board feel underfoot because the soul is pretty thin. They lose the "5 Star" rating because they're HOT with little ventilation beside some toe venting-- but hey it's summertime and I'd skate in flipflops if I could. Otherwise, they kick ass!

Amazing - These shoes are amazing. The grip is really good grippier then any other shoe I’ve ever had They are all suede which is the most comfortable and best material for skating. Flick is great. The padding is just right not so much that it’s awkward to skate and not too little to wear it hurts to skate stairs and stuff. Basically this is the best shoe ever.

Emerica Bryan Herman 2 - If you are looking for a shoe that grips amazingly, has great board feel, lasts a long time, has an insane amount of padding, and looks great, BUY THIS SHOE. I have had probably 12 pairs of shoes in the past year, and these are for sure in my top two. VULC look with cup sole. AMAZING SHOE. I’M ON MY SECOND PAIR...

Herman 2's are tight - literally - These Herman 2's look even nicer than the photo shows on the site. Really slick styling on them. However, they are REALLY narrow. I don't have wide feed, and have never worn wide shoes, but these things crush my feet. I'm hoping they stretch a little (or a lot) in the next couple of weeks.

Herman 2's - honestly, these were one of the best shoes I’ve ever had... it took about two weeks for them to start ripping and they were done after about a month and a half- two months. If I could describe these shoes in one word it would be... orgasm. They’re sick so buy them now.

These shoes are pretty good, they skate really well and feel very comfortable, but the bottoms wear down really fast! I think they’re too pricy for the time they last but besides that they look good and feel good. Oh I forgot to tell u that trust me they look better in real life! lol

I have had 15 skate shoes in the past 4 years and nothing has compared to the Herman 2. Best skate shoe I have ever skated...hands down. Great protection yet still amazing board feel. Super comfortable and skateble. The non-slip desert grip is amazing and takes a while to wear down. BEST SKATE SHOE!!!

B. Hermans - My friend said they were really good and his friend said they were the best shoe ever, but unfortunately after a week the whole tongue ripped. Great shoe, not durable.

The desert grip is hard to get used to. I didn't like these shoes very much and all the laces ripped very quickly.
