Great review! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!

Nice review man. Lakai is legit brand though I don't mess with all their line-up cause they're a lil narrower on the toe box. The Lakai shoes that are fair for wider feet are the Trudger and the Evo though I mess with the Fade since they stopped making em.
Hope you're excited for Tiago's second signature. The 808.

I feel that the Telfords are basically Lakai's version of the Jordan 1. The forefoot is too narrow for me, but if you like Jordan 1s, these should be great to skate in.
Lakai uses very tacky but not very durable rubber in general, so the sole is usually the first thing to go on them.

I got the reds this week great board feel for a cup soul and I have really wide feet but half a size up from my vans is spot on

I’ve been skating the Etnies Marana x Michelin recently and I think you should try them, they are super solid, or Fallen Footwear, those are my favorite shoe company’s

Yeah, i just got these in the same color way and i do agree that the toe is narrow but once im warmed up i dont notice it that much. Amazing board feel for a cupsole BUT me being a older skater id much prefer more impact protection and a wider toe.

Nice review mate !
I was thinking about this shoe, basically because it's kinda a Dunk alternative. I ended up buying the DC MANTECA 4. My first DC's since 2 decades. They look kinda similar. Didn't skated them yet but they feel pretty nice on foot so far . Maybe you like them too. I got mine for 75 € so a good deal.

I’ve been looking at the Telford myself a bit lately. That colourway looks nice. Not so much a fan of any of the others to be honest. Might get a pair in the future. I don’t think they aesthetically have anything on the Dunks that people like to compare them to. Not that it matters to me I’ll never skate a Dunk. Too expensive and too much hassle to get a hold of. Anyways for now I’ve still got a backlog of Joslin 1s. Love that shoe.
