Finding a shoe that meets the high demands of skating can be challenging, but Lakai consistently offers high-quality options. The Lakai Telford Skate Shoes feature a high-top design that provides excellent ankle support and protection. The upper part of the shoe ensures proper airflow and durability. Underfoot, the Telford utilizes Lakai's advanced XLK cupsole technology, which delivers superior cushioning and impact absorption. Additionally, the hex-tread pattern enhances the shoes grip and provides maximum board feel with 360-degree traction.

Sole
Cupsole - Durable and shock-absorbing to provide the best impact protection against hard landings. Cupsoles generally last longer than a vulcanized sole but don't provide as much flexibility and board feel right out of the box.
Details
Hex Tread - Hex shaped tread for 360° flexibility made from dual density rubber.
XLK™ Construction - Lakai's precision molded rubber cupsole with a drop-in soft EVA midsole for comfort and impact absorption.

Lakai Telford Skate Shoes - fog suede
Not a bad shoe, they are light and broke in fast… Comically bad laces, you definitely will want to purchase new laces immediately (no replacements)….

Lakai Telford Skate Shoes - black/blue camo suede
These shoes look great and feel good, but the pair I received has a tiny hole somewhere in the sole so water leaks through
