00:00What's up guys today, we have the shoe that broke the internet
00:02We got the mischief big red boot and we're gonna see if they're possible to skateboard in and giving them a rating based off
00:07How good they skate so let's get right into it
00:09We're gonna determine the rating of how good or bad these shoes are for skating based off of their looks
00:14How they flick and feel on the board how well they protect your feet and the practicality of wearing them to start it off
00:20We're gonna rate the shoes looks looks matter to skaters because when we feel like we look better
00:25We skate better even just starting off with the unboxing of the shoe
00:28The whole shoe just has this massive big red cartoony vibe
00:32That's really new to the sneaker game and it looks really well made and detailed even down to the box details
00:38The bottom of the shoe has these really cool traction lines plus a little bit of mischief branding and for the shoe itself
00:43There's just no other shoe like it
00:45it really does look straight out of a cartoon because of their smooth and
00:49Unproportionately sized look and if you decide to put your pants over the boots like this
00:53I think it gives them a lot more of a low-key look and I actually think they look a lot better this way
00:57So because of the shoes super unique and cool vibe, I rate the looks at 9 out of 10
01:02Next we're gonna rate how they flick and feel on the skateboard
01:06this was for sure the scariest part of making this video because I had no idea what these were gonna feel or skate like and
01:12The only way to find out was by standing on it and trying it out
01:15my first impression of standing on the
01:17Skateboard with these was that it felt like I was on stilts because of how platform the boots are and I knew it was finally
01:22Time to try tricks. So why not start off with an ollie?
01:26Definitely not my best ollie, but it kind of worked then I went for some shove-its after I started landing those
01:31I wanted to do a kickflip which was definitely going to be a hard trick in these because you can't
01:35Flick and move your ankles, which is a very important part about doing a kickflip after almost like a dozen attempts
01:41I started to get a little bit closer until I finally managed to land a few
01:46Definitely not my best kickflips, but it worked out next
01:49I wanted to do heel flips and those are a little easier in these because you don't have to flick your ankle as much on
01:53A heel flip so I did land a few of those and now to truly test how well these shoes flick and feel
01:59I had to try it on a bunch of obstacles
02:00So I did some more flat ground tricks, then I took them to this box right here
02:04Got that first try I even took them to a rail
02:07Definitely a sketchy trick in these I took them to this ramp to do some simple transition tricks like a drop in and a kick
02:13Turn both very sketchy as well on these all the skating in them felt very sketchy and hard for me
02:18So I rate the flick and board feel a one out of ten next we're gonna rate how well they protect your feet
02:23And i'm even gonna hit some gaps
02:25But first, let's see what's inside the shoe if you look inside
02:28The first thing you're gonna see is some info about the shoe like the size and where it was made
02:32But this is actually an insole that you can take out and it's a pretty soft comfy
02:36Floppy insole and under that is this rubber and with the combination of the insole and the rubber
02:41It actually does a good job of protecting the feet
02:43So I thought i'd send it down some gaps to truly test that
02:46I first wanted to do it down the sixth stair and luckily I got it first try
02:49So I thought i'd step it up and do it on this super tall three block
02:53This gap was way bigger than the sixth stair
02:55But I knew I had to try it to test the shoe's limits and the first attempt didn't go super well
03:00It definitely hurt my body, but my feet felt fine, which is the whole purpose of this test
03:04So got up there tried it again and rolled away clean
03:07None of the primos or landings hurt my feet at all the entire day and even when the board hits your feet
03:12It deflects it so well. You don't even feel it
03:14They do protect your feet super well, but are very dangerous to the rest of your body
03:18So I give their protection a 7 out of 10 and lastly we're gonna rate the shoes
03:22Practicality and there's gonna be a lot of things that are obviously not practical about skating this big chunky red boot
03:27But to get into the specifics
03:29The first impractical thing is how your ankles can't move freely which makes it hard and feel weird to do almost all skate tricks
03:35And for me probably the most impractical thing about them was the hard rubber at the top of the shoes digging into my shins
03:41And it ripped out a lot of my leg hair and gave me a pretty bad rash
03:44Definitely one of the least practical shoes i've ever tried for skating and I give their practicality a 1 out of 10
03:50So when you combine the ratings of their looks their flick and feel on the board their foot protection and their practicality
03:56Overall, they get a 4.5 out of 10 for their skate rating
04:00So that's it for the mischief big red boot skate review
04:03Definitely a cool shoe, but don't recommend skating in them
