Not all skate shoes are created equal. The Valor is Fallen's offering for those who punish their feet: a cupsole construction that absorbs the heavy impacts of stairs and gaps, with a 90s-inspired reinforced toe cap that withstands flick wear and tear for longer.
And it's worth remembering that Fallen knows about impact. It's Jamie Thomas's brand, the man who attempted the Leap of Faith, so the cushioning here isn't just marketing talk. Despite its robustness, the Valor is comfortable straight out of the box, without the usual break-in period of cupsoles.
In this Black/White/Gum colorway, with the gum sole adding a classic touch, it's one of the most balanced pairs in the catalog in terms of protection, durability, and style.
