Lakai Manchester

Lakai Manchester sneakers have been a staple of the brand's customer base since they were first introduced in 2007. The Manchester continues to prove its staying power thanks to simple features: a clean toe cap, basic panels and classic vulcanized construction are all it takes to create the most iconic shoes in the skateboarding world.

These shoes are known for the ease with which they allow skateboarding and for good reason as the material with which they are constructed provides a great feel on the board as well as excellent impact, while the outsole provides good grip as well. As a result the feel of these shoes can be translated as if we are really glued to the board. The Lakai Manchester is rated by many as the best skate shoes.

Features

The reason why many consider them to be the best skate shoes has a lot to do with the impact resistance, the Manchester were designed knowing that they would be used for jumping, they have a lot of padding that protects the ankles and a plastic plate that seeks to avoid bumps or injuries in the heel, this design makes them an excellent shoe that provides good cushioning against impacts.

Another highlight is the good grip they provide, the rubber outsole has a design capable of withstanding long days of skateboarding with the herringbone pattern characteristic of Lakai to provide optimum performance both on and off the board, this sole is made of rubber which also allows to absorb impacts.

Also featured is the EVA Sock Liner technology, which is an insole that aids in shock absorption especially in the heel area. EVA rubber can also be found in the midsole, which has an adequate density to provide cushioning while maintaining board feel.

The Lakai Machester offers a very soft feel, extra cushioning in the ankle area for increased foot support and protection.

The Manchester is a low-priced model and can be a good option for those looking for a shoe that offers a decent level of protection within a comfortable budget; those who have already used them describe the Manchester as a shoe that is economical and also offers a great level of skating.
