iPath Men's Grasshopper Lace-Up Fashion Sneaker

I picked these up because I needed some new skate shoes, and they reminded me of the ones I wore 5 years ago or so. The main difference now being that they are Hemp instead of the leather (pleather, I don't quite remember). Either way I was excited to see that these shoes were still available, and were to be had so cheaply here on Amazon (sorry Journeys for being my shoe test-fit guinea pig).Onto the shoes. The shoes to be expected took awhile for me to break in. The sole remained quite stiff for about 2 weeks or so. Not a big deal, and to be expected. After riding around a bit on my motorcycle trials bike, it completely broke them in. Obviously not their intended use, but it softened them up a bit and brought them to a great comfortable state. The look on them is IMO great. I know 95% of the people that are buying skate shoes are buying them for the looks. So do yourself a favor, and get the shoes that still maintain a good deal of class to them. These shoes can easily be worn in a "dressier" situation, and I've had no ill comments as to them looking haggard with casual pants.The other part of these shoes that drew me to them was the fact that all new skate shoes have gone to this completely terrible flat "old school" type shoe. I'm not sure who brought on this look\style\whatever you want to call it. That style shoe just doesn't work right, and are uncomfortable. Now don't get me wrong. I know that these shoes aren't exactly praised by Podiatrists. They don't have any arch really, but actually have some "shape" to them. I enjoy this in a shoe. Now if you're anything like me with skating, you will have a tendency to somehow roll your ankles with ease. I know this can be remedied with wearing my shoes looser, but then things just get sloppy. This is to me the best feature of these shoes. With them being a sort of mid-top shoe, they have saved me from many a rolled ankle.The reason I gave them a 4\5 though is due to the fact that on the velcro strap on my left foot, the velcro has separated from the fabric. I did nothing weird, and the only thing I can think of is that I caught it on something and it pulled it up. This is not a big deal, doesn't hurt function, and isn't really noticeable until I remove the shoes.All in all one of my favorite shoes, and now I'm wishing I had picked up another pair at the 40$ price. Such is life.

I've worn skate shoes for a long time, mostly Globes. Some shoes are more narrow than others and you only learn by buying them. These were too narrow so I gave them to a friend, whose worn them for a while now and loves them.Good quality. Seem like very well made, durable shoes. My friend says they are comfortable, but I'd only say that if you don't feel you need a wide shoe. It's not really a bad thing as long as you know about it in advance.I wouldn't get them again purely because of the sizing, but I'm pretty sure my friend would buy another pair again no problem.

Maybe I'm biased. Although, I doubt it. I was 12 when i first wore a pair of Ipath Grasshoppers when a buddy offered them to me.I picked these up from amazon and they've become my go to shoe.Pros:The insole is great, the gum sole doesn't have too many spots where rocks can wedge themselves in, the tongue is thinner than most other skate shoes i've owned from Circa and Supra. Pockets in the tongues of the shoes.Cons:The Strap doesn't come off, and when it's unstrapped the shoe kind of shifts better. It's great though

Ok so i have owned i paths, and they run small im size 13 so i order 14, they are very unique and original, yet simple, they are very cozy to rest your feet in, to skateboard walk or take rides on sport bikes with, i love the fact they use hemp due to the fact that im a head myself, THe colors are great.. hope this helps

I love these shoes! Although at first they kind of hurt because my feet weren't used to the hemp, but after a month or so, they were very nice, and water-resistant! They ended up tearing though, so I don't recommend getting them if you like shoes lasting about a year.

Got these for my boyfriend 2 years ago and he still loves them and wears them. Black canvas with a touch of rasta coloring. Comfortable and durable. You cant wear these with any outfit because the rasta colors don't jump out.

Absolutely love these bad boy vegan shoes, sole is stitched (always good to look for in a durable shoe) and after 6 months they are really holding up well!
