DC Manteca Skate Shoe - Mens
DC Shoe Co.'s Manteca Skate Shoe is an affordable, super athletic skate shoe, and one of DC Shoe's most popular models. With mesh panels and a perforated upper, the Manteca rules for sweaty indoor park sessions and hot summer days. It's tough too—DC's PAL AB toe cap is made of polyurethane-coated leather specifically to withstand grip tape punishment. Just as suited to everyday life as it is to skateboarding, the Manteca's got a two-tone sticky gum rubber sole, a soft tricot lining, a tongue held in place by elastic holders for bomber foot hold, and a beefy back to withstand the punishment of never bothering with your laces. The Manteca fits a medium-wide foot best.

The last Review was WRONG!!!!
I am not sure what this last review is talking about? I have been skating for 19 years and the Manteca is a great shoe! This is the classic skate shoe. They DO HAVE lace protection for the bottom 2 laces as well as the top two laces! It looked like the last person giving the review is just starting to skate (2nd pair of skate shoes). When you are just starting to skate you spend hours in your drive way doing 64 kick flips an hour to you get it dialed. Of course the shoe will not last as long when you are trying to learn flip tricks. For this person to have this shoe last 2 months is actually great under those conditions. The Manteca is a great shoe I have had 3-4 pairs and I will get it again!!
Manteca skate shoe
These shoes are so bad. They were my second pair of skate shoes, and all I could do was ollie and kickflip, and the friggin’ things were busted within 2 months. The toe rips very easily, and there are no lace protectors. Don't buy these shoes.

Training Tips
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
If you want to make progess in your training, join a running group. A commitment to meet on a regular basis with a group of like minded individuals will help you keep your focus.
