So iLL Free Range Review

Taking the Free Ranges out of the bag, they definitely attracted some attention. The bright green styling is certainly hard to miss, and I was asked a few times about the make of the shoe. 'So iLL? Cool duuuude' was often the response of doubtful onlookers. None the less, I slipped them on to find out how they perform. First impressions were surprisingly pleasing. As someone used to wearing aggressive shoes, they felt comfortable and secure, if a little stiffer than I was used to. Another surprise was the rubber. The Dark Matter rubber is really sticky, almost tacky when box fresh, allowing me to keep my feet on some steep moves that should really have warranted more core strength than I posses.
