Blacks with the white shell are sweet (rocking mine today) not feeling the all blacks though, as not a massive fan of dark shells.
P/Streak if you need a hand with them let me know

ive only got one pair of skates, i wouldnt get any more. infact im probably selling them this week.
they are damn comfortable, but just too bulky for me. dont like that much bulk on my feet personally. ss2 is the bulkiest i would go. although, these eldridges hardly look that bulky... ?

They are not bulky at all. They are actually really close to 80's and IMO slimmer than SS2's.

I'll second that, the sk80s are not bulky at all. Like ez says, they're slimmer/less padded than SS2s.

IMO they fit like regular 80s, possibly even a teeny bit smaller
Superstars are indeed super...

hence me saying these eldriges arent bulky at all... question mark?
im saying not the sk80's... the normal skates i find too bulky.
seems a bit redundant having these "sk80"s... they arent really skates now are they?

Greetings Homies!
I've got one pair of skates myself. Not a big fan of the bulky look either. But I just had to have the model that I did buy. There's one other model that I'd love to have as well but can't seem to find a pair at my price... on sale!!! hahaha
Change of subject... for some reason, SSDB.com isn't being blocked at my desk at work!!! Yippee for me. And since the temperature is expected to be 110 degrees outside today (yes, the USA uses fahrenheit and not celsius like the rest of the world), I can sit at my air conditioned desk and browse SSDB and catch up on some things.

SK taught FC about detail :p
