This should have gone in the skateboard talk and not in the game of skate catigory. (N) But to answer your question i say skate your fallens. They last along time and they're sick :D

Yeah, Fallen all the way!! At the moment i'm rocking Emerica's the Hsu 2s, i'll write a review once i've skated them a bit longer, but they are siiiiick xD

I'm for fallen, just cause those shoes are so comfortable! =D

Neither! I skate Emerica's and my current shoes are some Reynolds cruisers they rock!

Lots of different factors regarding durability... cupsole > vulcanized leather > suede > canvas one piece toecap > stitching there are a lot more factors, this is just regarding durability not my preference or what other people prefer.

get fallen

Fallens

Fallen= Fallens are tough skateboarding shoes - if you skate hard and want a good looking, well built shoe that can keep up with your style, take a look at the Fallen skateboarding shoe. Features like the triple stitched toe cap, full action leather upper and thickly padded heel collar and tongue in most fallen shoes sould keep them alive longer. DVS=Depending on the type of dvs skateboarding shoes you are looking at each shoe comes fully loaded with its own special features such as elastic tongue straps for extra support other then shoes laces, low profile for better board feel, triple stitching, ollie lace armor protection so shoe last longer, bruise control technology to prevent bruising of the heel and of course all shoe comes with either vulcanized or gum sole for gripping of the skateboard plus many more. :) :)

I Think Fallen Is by far better than DVS but thats my opinion as to the fact ive owned one pair of DVS shoes and alot of fallen shoes ;)

i've skated dvs before and they're ok. havnt skated fallen tho. i really like skating osiris too. im skating my osiris and i bought them for $80
