Real Reviews from Real Skateboarders

No marketing talk. Just honest feedback from people actually skating and wearing Emerica.

From first-session board feel to long-term durability, this page brings together verified reviews across footwear and apparel so you can see how each style fits, feels, and holds up in real use.

Use these reviews to compare:

Fit — true-to-size, width, and break-in
Comfort — straight out of the box and over time
Board feel & grip — how the shoe performs underfoot
Durability — how it lasts through real skating
Overall wear — everyday comfort, travel, and off-board use

Whether you already know the model you want or you’re still deciding, this is the best place to hear it from the people who put Emerica to work.

GREY/BLACK / 10.5

Can't speak to their durability yet because I've only had them a few days, though Emerica's are generally adequately durable and have been my choice brand of skate shoes for over 25 years, with the caveat that one should always expect vulc soles to be a bit less durable than cup soles. But otherwise, they look fantastic, are comfortable right out of the box with the G6 insoles, and are more solid/rugged/padded than I expected. I haven't owned skate shoes with triple-stitching in a while; probably a plus for durability.

BLACK/TAN / 10.5

These are usually good shoes -- I had previously bought 5 pairs of them, plus 1 pair of the outstanding Slip Cup that I hope will be resurrected -- but for the first time, this particular pair had a significant and irksome difference in tightness between the 2 shoes, so I had to return them. So I guess beware of that possibility, but otherwise normally satisfactory and among the best slip-on skate shoes out there.

Hi Dominique,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Wino G6 Slip-On shoes. We're sorry to hear that your recent pair had an issue with tightness on one shoe. We understand how frustrating that can be and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We will make sure to pass on your feedback to our team for further improvements. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need any assistance with your return or if you have any other concerns. We appreciate your support and hope to have the chance to make it up to you in the future.

Great for skateboarding, though they lean more toward performance than casual comfort.

Clean classic style that works great for skating. They feel responsive and comfortable right away.

Please don’t hesitate to come back and share another review soon!

Been wearing them since the first line came out in 1996, always held up when I had to ollie some stairs. Awesome shoes, simple and to the point. They almost look like dress shoes. I really hope this company stiays around.

Hi Paul,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. Making high-quality skateboard shoes is always our top priority, the aesthetics come second, so we’re stoked to hear that both the performance and the look are working for you.

Wishing you plenty of clean landed stair gaps in your KSL G6!

The single-wrap vulc construction and triangle tread give excellent grip and control, while the G6 footbed helps absorb impact on landings.

Hi Anna. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review! We are thrilled to hear that the single-wrap vulc construction and triangle tread have given you excellent grip and control. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope to continue providing you with great experiences. Keep shredding!

Solid, skate-focused shoe with a secure fit and strong traction.

Favorite skate shoe

God bless Emerica

Your store is making it impossible to buy shoes

Been a fan of Emerica since Jerry hsu. I was about to buy a pair of shoes but the website is only dedicated to customer reviews. I have literally no option to purchase product. It’s a never ending reel of customer reviews. Smh.

No Response from Customer Service/Contact eMail

I still haven't heard anything back from customer service about my returned goods for a refund.
This is really frustrating.

We always strive to provide prompt and efficient customer service and we regret that we have not met your expectations this time. We value our customers and their satisfaction is our top priority. We hope to have the opportunity to make it up to you in the future.

Great company

I love emerica and es. Under the same umbrella. I want my money to go to companies that care for their customers. I will admit I was a big Nike n Jordan guy as well as vans. But let's face it they push their liberal agenda on ya. I'm not for that.

Great company. Absolutely love their products
