right now i ride habitat quests and i dont know if i should get the janoski mids or lows

[tacticsboardshop]

@jjbwoodpushaz you want the protection of a mid or the movement of a low? figure that out and you'll have your answer.

[jjbwoodpushaz]

for skating should i get these or the lows???

[lemuratack]

@taticsboardshop how thick is the ankle protection

[tacticsboardshop]

@lemuratack several millimeters..it's minimal

[lemuratack]

@tataicsboardshop how thick is the ankle protection

[lemuratack]

@taticsboardshop How thick is the ankle protection

[jNordz]

Could you do a review on the Nike SB Team Edition shoe?

[chuckielong1]

I always like mids and how they feels, but these feel mad weird when you wear them lol I say just get regular.

[TheFloris1997]

Are They better thicker than adidas ease low

[tacticsboardshop]

@TheFloris1997 those shoes are very similar.

[FingerSkateBoards98]

do you even skate?

[tacticsboardshop]

@FingerSkateBoards98 yep

[usersndme]

what is better and more comfortable janoski shoes or eric koston?

[tacticsboardshop]

@usersndme I don't know what you qualify as better, but the Koston is one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. -Benson

[skatecomedyguitarman]

should i get these in lows or dc chris coles?

[ventuskeywielder]

@skatecomedyguitarman defiantly these!

[buggld]

What are snake bites?

[tacticsboardshop]

@buggld when the board rolls and hits your ankle.

[buggld]

@tacticsboardshop Thanks!

[008jrg]

@tacticsboardshop hey benson for you what is better lows or mids?

[tacticsboardshop]

@008jrg I like lows better.

[008jrg]

@tacticsboardshop oh thanks man :)



[555armand]

what if your feet are really wide, will they still break in?

[tacticsboardshop]

@555armand yeah, for the most part...unless you got some wide ass hobbit feet or something like that.

[555armand]

@tacticsboardshop haha



[555armand]

@tacticsboardshop haha i not frodo

[NickHasADeathwish]

What's the sizing like on these? My feet are pretty long and narrow.

[tacticsboardshop]

@NickHasADeathwish These shoes will fit great for that type of foot. My foot is a little wide and my Janoskis fit snug but break in after wearing them for a bit. They fit true to size.

[omarizawsom]

@tacticsboardshop hey benson..please reply..do you think i could cut off the mid top part of the shoe? will it be possible and would the tongue be too big or somthing?..thanks

[omarizawsom]

@tacticsboardshop hey benson..please reply..do you think i could cut off the mid top part of the shoe? will it be possible and would the tongue be too big or somthing?..thanks

[omarizawsom]

@tacticsboardshop hey benson..please reply..do you think i could cut off the mid top part of the shoe? will it be possible and would the tongue be too big or somthing?..thanks

[nikesbskater114]

Benson, do you know when you guys are going to get the Nike sb team edition 2?

[tacticsboardshop]

@nikesbskater114 Next month...we already have the SB Chronicles Team Edition, but we can't sell them online, just in our Eugene, OR store.

[linkinparkdrift]

Are the in soles removable ?

[omegaforceshockwave]

ayyyee bennnnssooonnnnnnn do the mid tops get in the way a bit more? like is it harder to flick with your ankles restricted?

[tacticsboardshop]

@omegaforceshockwave yeah, you could say that. They offer more support/protection but you sacrifice movement; it's minimal, though, so you shouldn't worry about it.

[billbobkid2]

these or p rod 5?

[tacticsboardshop]

@billbobkid2 these.

[ZAPOxBEWBZ]

hey benson do these run in true size or should i get a half size smaller i wear a size 9.5

[tacticsboardshop]

@ZAPOxBEWBZ They run true to size. If you wear 9.5, get the 9.5.

[vanskate88]

@tacticsboardshop i had the campus vulcs in 9.5 and they fit good but when i got the janoskis i got them in size 9 and they fit perfectly so you might want to get a half size smaller just saying

[blahblahblah1000z]

@tacticsboardshop hey do you deliver to kuwait?

[tacticsboardshop]

@blahblahblah1000z we deliver to most places, check our international help page for more info about placing an international order.

[blahblahblah1000z]

@tacticsboardshop ohh okey thank you benson

[SolidSkate8]

check my revew out and tell me what ya thinki subbb

[firewiresurfer100]

@tacticsboardshop.

hey benson can you pleeeeeaaassee do a review on the dekline santa fe shoes?

[tacticsboardshop]

@firewiresurfer100 Tactics doesn't have Dekline shoes, so we don't have anything to review...we're a skateshop and review products we have in stock.

[soeasybeingsteazy]

these the sqaure two fusions or the reynolds cruisers?

[LakaisForLife]

Does it help prevent ankle rolls? I get a lot of ankle rolls on the lows

[tacticsboardshop]

@LakaisForLife the mids definitely provide more support than the lows, so you won't get as many rolled ankles if you tie 'em up tight.

[SteezyHobo]

does the sole gets holes/rips easily?

[owlcore]

hi. do you think i can wear those in winter? wouldn't it be too cold in them?

[seacow256]

do these last longer then the lows because i order a pair of mids to skate?

[tacticsboardshop]

@seacow256 it's the same shoe.

[RAFAFOO]

nice shoes, i got them already!

[eddiemoney100]

Best shoe ever !!!

Yes a bit pricy, but it pays off in the long run

Instead of buying two 40-50 dollar shoes, you could just buy the janoskis which last you the same amount of time

[extremedrummerkid]

lots of people love these. i would love to get em but i highly doubt theyd be worth the $80 it costs because they look like theyd last about a week

[lzexlnero]

how long are these gonna rip

[IwearNikeSbJanoski]

What jeans were you wearing in this video?

[tacticsboardshop]

@IwearNikeSbJanoski I think some enjoi pants. -Benson

[ventuskeywielder]

janoskis or kostons?

[123cod6player]

i skate like alot and most of my shoes been tearing apart easily and im thinking bout buyin these,, wuld these last,, i do alot of flip tricks by the way

[iwannagosurfing139]

I was wondering. i normally wear a size 8.5 do these shoes go true to size? or do i have to order them half a size down? after all . these shoes are the most dope right?

[oldschoolskater989]

just ordered me a pair

[MYSTERYSKATERPRO]

hey benson are these heavy?

[tacticsboardshop]

@MYSTERYSKATERPRO no

[manof1994]

@tacticsboardshop these or the cons trapaso 

[tacticsboardshop]

@EvelynnSalt female sizes are usually 1.5 sizes smaller, but you should try them on before committing to a size.

[SpiritJaivyn]

I got these but they're a size too big. They cut into my heels and ankle and now there's small wounds there. Should I try a size smaller or should I just go for another sneaker?

[ArmedPoverty]

@SpiritJaivyn Maybe it would help if you got your size...

[jNordz]

This is the best shoes I've ever skated! Im skating in the P.Rod 5's now, and they SUCK compared to the Janoski mids

[mcmuffinskater12]

are these comfortable to skate in?

[jNordz]

@mcmuffinskater12 They are the best shoes ever made. Get them! You wont regret it. Awesome board feel, and durable.

[mcmuffinskater12]

are these comfortable to skate in?

[albert187able]

hey benson are these shoes actuall size or am i going to have to get 1/2 size bigger? are these good of jumping big stair sets??

[tacticsboardshop]

@albert187able get whatever size you normally wear.

[tacticsboardshop]

@EvelynnSalt Yeah the men's shoes are all in men's sizes.

[blahblahblah1000z]

@tacticsboardshop do they come with the leather laces???

[RonLarhz]

@tacticsboardshop

not good advice.come on,customer service attd?at least provide her with a rough guage?u wanna loose customer?

oh wait,its a month,she prolly left.

[asmartfellow]

i dont wanna sound like a picky douch but can you wear these or the regular janoskis without laces? I dont like when y laces break or skating with laces thanks...

[jkns24]

nice shoes!!!!

[jkns24]

NICE SHOES!!!!!!



[tacticsboardshop]

@cuddster94 I haven't tried the mids, so maybe someone else can answer that?

[asmartfellow]

@tacticsboardshop i dont wanna sound like a picky douch but can you wear these or the regular janoskis without laces? I dont like when y laces break or skating with laces thanks...

[tacticsboardshop]

@asmartfellow They are going to be really floppy without laces. Their isnt any elastic or anything like that in the tongue.

[swartzcreekskate]

Great shoes!!!! totally worth the money!

[swartzcreekskate]

great video!!! these r the best shoes ive ever skated in!!!!

[EforEntertainment]

i just jizzed a little...

[RPerezHernandez]

ive already had six pairs of janoskis and they last me a month there definetly worth it and im not gunna stop buying them

[skateboarder700]

these shoes lasted me way too long

[supahriders101]

shoe are narrow as hell!!

[supahriders101]

i got wide feet nd these shoes are narrow as hell!!

buy like a full size upp if u got wide feet

seriously

[enjoilifeskate]

to be honest don't buy these shoes,

bought them in may and after a month the rubber toe cap started to wear off.

once i broke em in they were good and all, but only lasted me 4 months.

not worth my 70 bucks.

[tacticsboardshop]

@enjoilifeskate "only lasted me 4 months" ... uh, dude, we have a team rider who goes through pair every two or three weeks. Four months for a skate shoe is definitely worth the money. -Benson

[enjoilifeskate]

@tacticsboardshop

ive made shoes last longer than 4 months.

i didn't even skate my janoskis hard than i usually do with my other shoes.

im just searching for a shoe that wont wear off on me after a hard sesh.

[griffalova]

@tacticsboardshop i skate a pair every 7 days. Shane Oneil = A pair a day

[MrChrisDurban]

@enjoilifeskate 4 months?!?!?! itd be a blessing from god for a shoe to last me 4 months!!!!

[00assface]

@enjoilifeskate you're fucking stupid



[00assface]

@enjoilifeskate you're stupid

[thasmysn]

hows the durability on the upper on these?

[blakeskate33]

these or nike sb vulc rods

[tomskates97]

mid or low janoski's ?

[ventuskeywielder]

I like your altamont shirt benson. It's sick

[jNordz]

my next shoe right there

[pjparty911]

hey, i was just wondering about ur opinion on leather shoes to skate in. cause i saw the white colorway of these, they're so sick and they're leather, but i would want to be able to skate in them. i know they make a lot of the nike sb colorways for sneaker heads and i've never skated in all leather shoes, so i was wondering if buying them to skate in would be a mistake.

[tacticsboardshop]

@pjparty911 leather actually holds up a little better than suede, but suede probably skates the best out of all the materials shoes are made out of. The white ones are super sick, but I'd rather just skate the black suede ones. -Benson

[pjparty911]

@tacticsboardshop thanks :)

[SchlechteGuteFreunde]

@tacticsboardshop Hey benson,wich janoski is the best in your opinion?and why are the new janoskis without leather laces?good review though :) CARRY ON!

[tacticsboardshop]

@SchlechteGuteFreunde there's only two versions of the same shoe. It's either the low or the mid, so there's not one that's better than the other. If you're asking about colors, well, that's preference. I'll take the mids in White. I don't know why Nike changed the lace options... thanks for checking our vids.

[asmartfellow]

@tacticsboardshop did you guys ever review the regular janoskis? Because i cant find the video on youtube..

[tacticsboardshop]

@asmartfellow Yeah we do. Its on our channel.

[asmartfellow]

@tacticsboardshop o i just found it haha great review by the way ima make sure to get some asap

[fr0zdify]

@pjparty911 white ones will get dirty too quick i wouldn't recommend them for skating just for swaggg cause they fucking sxy

[AngelmanChocolate100]

fuck low janoski's

mid top all the way

[RaySauseLakai]

I want to get these in brown and low.

[kukkpacifico]

nice shoe lol reminds me of the dude off green hornet, 'what...chudnofski!?'

[Frizzcanizle]

MAAAAAAN, Janoskis, Dunks or Blazers? I can't decide, cause they cost money and there must only one!!

[DirtyWeazels]

@Frizzcanizle

Janoski for shure

[tacticsboardshop]

@ESmakeijo if you're asking, "will these shoes come in a green/white color?" the answer is, they already have. The color was pine green/sail and another was black forest/black. I think we sold out of both.

[k1ckfl19]

@tacticsboardshop r u sure they have the zoom air in soles cuz i heard they dont

[DIYOrDIE777]

is stefan janoski satanic?

[tacticsboardshop]

@DIYOrDIE777 I doubt it, but I don't know him. -Benson

[DIYOrDIE777]

@tacticsboardshop is just that in his commercial he has a pentagram in his hand.

[tacticsboardshop]

@DIYOrDIE777 well it's just a commercial. would you rethink purchasing his shoes if you found out he was satanic?

[DIYOrDIE777]

@tacticsboardshop actualy i already have it haha and ordered it here i was just wondering

[DIYOrDIE777]

@tacticsboardshop I already bought them at tactics i was just wondering

[Mrccssk8er150]

Do you guys do giveaways?

[tacticsboardshop]

@Mrccssk8er150 yeah, check our facebook page cause that's where we usually do our giveaway contests.

[LABakers24FTW]

help me ppls!!!!!!! i skate 3 hours a day so wud these be gud for not rippping and stuff?

[tacticsboardshop]

@LABakers24FTW yeah, these would be great for ripping.

[LABakers24FTW]

@tacticsboardshop sooo yes there really durable and wont rip ooorrr no theyll rip easily?

[SATCHELization]

It's pronounced "Ja-NOW-skee"

[tacticsboardshop]

@skateboard1justin1 nope, it depend on how much you're skating...even what grip you skate. just get a pair you think looks good and skate 'em.

[shoes919]

what do u think is better stefan lows or mids?

[hhhforeverdx]

they would look nicer if they have white flat laces for each foot and if they included a pack of a black lace for one foot :p

[PurpleSkilll]

You think you can do a review on the Nike SB Blazer CS's? id really appreciate it

[tacticsboardshop]

@PurpleSkilll we already have.

[ckil17]

they should make a janoski in this colorway, black suede, gold swoosh< and an allll gum sole all gum lol beautiful!

[asianboyskate]

sexy but too much money to buy

[GoSk8the718]

No leather laces. That's gay.

[flintskater21]

hey Benson, do these run true size or bigger

[escapistskater]

hey benson please reply. um these shoes are really expensive!do you guys ever put them on sale?cause these are to much money for a shoe. do they last long?

[tacticsboardshop]

@escapistskater shoes will go on sale when we've been sitting on a colorway for a while. These shoes will last a good amount of time, but I'm sure there's other shoes out there that would last you longer, it all depends if you want to feel your board when you're skating or if you want to shred a moon boot that lasts forever.

[escapistskater]

@tacticsboardshop ok1thanks. ehat would u say which one last the longest?

[tacticsboardshop]

@escapistskater I have no idea which skate shoe lasts the longest. -Benson

[escapistskater]

@tacticsboardshop haha!im probably gonna get these anyways.thanks you!

[Frizzcanizle]

@escapistskater Just buy the Janoskis and support/rep up tactics.

[eronic123456]

hey guys do you ship to the Philippines cuz those are still coming out in a month... :|

[tacticsboardshop]

@eronic123456 yeah, we can ship to the Philippines as long as your billing info checks out. See our international ordering help page for more info about placing an international order.

[AirwaySkating]

@tacticsboardshop Hey benson I had emerica g-codes (size 10) and then I purchased these Stefan janoski mids ( size 10) and when I wear them it feels like it's squeezing my foot width wise around the toe, I've had them for around 2 days and it's starting to get painful. Help?

[tacticsboardshop]

@AirwaySkating the leather will stretch a bit and form around your foot. Just keep wearing them and they'll break in.

[darcyth]

do you guys ship to australia?

[tacticsboardshop]

@darcyth Yeah we do. But there are a few brands, including Nike, that wont let us ship their products outside the US.

[jarethozb07]

Why Do You Have Approve Comments On ? What If People Didn't Like Them ? I Mean Your Not Exactly Gonna Say The Sole Might Come Unstuck Quick, (For Example) Because You're Trying To Sell It, But This Would Be A Great Platform If People Told You In The Comments What The Problem(s) With The Shoes Are Aswell. The Customer Could Make A More Informed Descision When Looking For Shoes. For Kids These Days It's A Lot Of Pocket Money For A Pair Of Decent Skate Shoes.

[tacticsboardshop]

@jarethozb07 and if you read through every comment that has ever been posted, like Hunter and I have, you would see we approve almost everything, both good and bad. One reason we don't have auto commenting on is because, like I said above, we read through every comment and respond to serious questions. It's easier for us to communicate with our audience if we have to physically approve everything. -Benson

[jarethozb07]

@tacticsboardshop Fair Enough, That Was The Point Of The Question Really, To Ask If ALL Comments Get Approved Good Or Bad. I Wasn't Having A Go At You, I Was Genuinly Curious. Don't See That Approved Comments Much, But I Suppose Then At Least, You Do Have To Read Every Single Comment. Cheers. J.

[tacticsboardshop]

@jarethozb07 barring blatant spam or really obscene profanity, pretty much every comment gets approval. thanks for checking the vids.

[asianboyskate]

It's about time the Mid top comes out. Been waiting for this almost 9 months.

[inwardkickflip47]

Its about time, I got these at my skateshop about a 15 days ago

[harrymahher]

These are so fucking gay

[meskatefolife]

Heeelllllllll yeeeeaaaahhhhh

[thrashSJ]

me likey:)

[MsStewieGriffen]

Do they come with more laces; or just those?

[nikesboy]

lol at not even being able to tell there mids with pants haha

[beastlyone2]

@nikesboy lol at the fact that theyre still gonna protect your ankles.

[FMmk4jetta]

just to awnser some of the questions the insole that you can wear without socks is the cork insole. same material on a wine cork. pretty sick. and if your trying to choose between these and busenitz shoes, i have both, i was excited to skate the adidas but i found the have no where near as much grip and boardfeel as the janoskis. i really couldnt skate them at all my back foot slides around too much with the busenitz
