In 1993, Mike Carroll and Rick Howard thought they might have a better formula for a skateboard company - one that made products the team would be proud of and kept an atmosphere that was supportive and motivating. While it was a risk, they felt like they owed it to skateboarding and skateboarders to take that risk.
In 1999, facing a similar situation in respect to footwear, Mike and Rick introduced Lakai Limited Footwear with the same dedication and pride they have always invested into their skateboarding and the Girl/Chocolate brands. Simply stated, they are “The Shoes We Skate”.
M.U. probably wouldn't play soccer in the Lakai Manchester Select Vulcanized Skate Shoe, but if their coaches allowed them to skateboard in their free time, they'd most likely be all over this super grippy lowtop. A form-fitting upper molds to your foot's shape to create awesome board feel and a full-length shock absorbing sole keeps your dogs from getting sore.

| The reason i put four stars is because i've only had the shoes for about a week and a half...Its a comfortable shoe that has a lot of feel for your board...the bottom of the shoe is hard so it shouldnt wear fast at all, so that means if theres slick concrete be careful because there not sticky soles and i almost did the splits cause i wasnt ready but there great soles other than that... i havent been skating long but i know this is a great shoe... the sizing is similar to nike, i wear a 13 in nike so i have a little toe room and i got a 13 in the manchester selects and its the same amount of room as the nike shox i bought a while ago. They fit my feet well and i have so called "wide feet" they dont crush my feet or anything and the to "rubber straps" or w.e. you call them (the things that hold the toung down incase you dont have laces) are tight enough... great shoe, buy it ( i bought mine at [@]tho in BLUE) | |

| Buy this shoe - I got these in the normal black/white and absolutely love them. They’re super grippy, have perfect amount of board feel. And they are the most durable vulk shoe I've ever had. I usually skate in old school vans so it's pretty hard to find a shoe with enough board feel and enough impact support but this is it. It's also extremely sturdy for being a low shoe. The sides are kinda hard and soft and a perfect way so that if you take an awkward step or something when you’re walking you don't die and it won't hurt. There’s also lace protection all the way up the shoe which is great because I didn't rip a single shoelace while skating these. They are the perfect shape of your foot, and they're actually wide enough so your foot doesn't really overflow of the sides. And I don't have wide feet so don't think they'll be too loose for you. They are my favorite shoe to skate in ever, they're really simple, they look great, and they skate great and I'll definitely buy more pairs. | |

| Definitely a Great Shoe! I've been testing out different skate shoes for a while now and one of my friends recommended the Manchester Select, so I gave it a shot. I was pleased to learn that they needed little break-in time and felt great right out of the box. They are also great shoes for long skate sessions due to their durability and comfort. They have pre-formed soles so make sure you get the right size or they may feel weird at first. Overall this is one of the most stylish and skate-able shoes I have ever worn. Great job Lakai! | |

| Lakai Manchester Selects... I've had these shoes for 3 weeks now; they've already started to wear down most of the outsole to where I'm almost completely to the suede. Keep in mind I do a LOT of flip tricks, mainly Tre Flios, Big Flips, Fakie Tre flips, varials, Switch Tre flips, and so on. These shoes look GREAT at first, but one you skate then for a week or so, lose their luster. I do highly recommend these shoes though. The grip is STILL IN ALMOST NEW SHAPE! Buy these shoes, their great! | |

| This shoe is fantastic! I skate everyday for about 6 hours. The shoe kept in place for about 3 weeks then the suede started to wear down. I still have them; this is the fourth week and plan to keep them for a little while more. Also the side of the shoe was the first to start ripping, so I hope they make a leather pair. So anyone who has good taste in shoes and wants to skate like crazy GET THIS SHOE! | |

| This is my all time favorite shoes, I have gotten four pairs already, all black ones from Zappos. It is like stepping in clouds except that it feels sturdy. Skating wise, it is great. It is not too thick like Circas or Nike SB and not too thin like Vans' Chukka Low. It provides great heel protection. It doe snot last very long if you skate everyday, around one to one and a half months. But it is cheap, and worth it! | |

The Lakai Manchester Select is probably one of my favorite fitting skate shoes. They have a great classic profile with a seamless toe and the Vulc sole is super nice and grippy. The shoe has a little padding around the cuff and the cut is low enough not to mess with your ankles. I especially like how they fit the back of my heel. | |

| Amazing Shoe!!!! You can start skating in these right when you get them, no need to break them in. These stayed intact for about 2 or 3 months and didn't look worn out much. They've got great arch support and unless you have really gargantuan feet, these are nice (for the narrow-footed people). And, they look cool, so what's not to love?! | |

| These were quite possibly the most comfortable shoes I've ever set my foot in. They felt broken in right when I got them. However, after skating for about a month, the front part started to peel off (the white part). But that was easily fixed. They're cool style-wise, skating-wise, and comfort-wise. I highly recommend these for the amateur skater to pro. | |

| MANCHESTER - The Manchester Selects are probably my favorite shoe from Lakai. They’re super grippy which is a major plus, there's tons of board feel I could actually fell the curves and that’s something I haven't done with other shoes. They feel worn in from the moment you put them on they are just an overall GREAT SHOE. | |

| Attractive and comfortable, but do not last! This shoe is very nice looking and comfortable. True to size, fits very well overall. Unfortunately, the Lakai symbol has already come off of the left shoe, after only a week's time! | |

| Rips, I have had these shoes for about two weeks and have not skated in them at all. They are horrible. I have gotten small rips in the bottom. I don't recommend. | |
