yes, the shell just doesn't feel right.
not as "rigid" as normal.
but maybe that's due to the Lite LTO-like effect that they were trying to accomplish, if that's indeed what they were trying to accomplish.

Hahaha, I think make them as cheap as possible was their product mantra.
With God's help I'll conquer this terrible affliction.

might have something to do with the colouring process on the plastic? maybe different chemicals are needed. I'm no scientists though...

Maybe but I'd be surprised.
They've occasionally done colour shoes in the past that weren't this flimsy arsed shit.
Lurk's is right.
They had a price point they wanted to reach so people would buy multiple colours and they needed to shed weight in materials.
Flimsy toe unit, no printing, LTO lining inside the shoe, cheap arsed box.
Probably cost them less than £15 a pair.

Hmm, ok-ish. I'm hankering after a nice pair of ProMods but the Angelides are a much better shoe than these IMO

I brought the bright orange pair, the quality of them is pretty crap, the shell toe makes a cheap popping noise when you press it down, the insoles aren't stuck down. I was unsure about buying some of the other colours but I definitely wont be bothering unless they were as cheap as the build quality
