Blending old-school style with modern skate applications, the Element Billings delivers high performance with vintage flair. The athletic stripes give off a classic feel while the padded tongue and collar protect your feet and ankles on botched kickflips. For those who want a simple and functional skate shoe, the Element Billings rocks.
Bottom Line: For a clean, classic look without sacrificing performance, reach for the Element Billings Shoe.
As another post mentioned, these run about a full size small, which is odd for Element. I ordered a 10.5 (my size for the last 15 years) and an 11.5--the 10.5 was unbelievably tight but the 11.5 fit.
Also odd for Element is the poor quality of these shoes. I had a seam on the top of the shoe rip out after about a week or two worth of light wear. Oh well, they're cheap and comfortable despite their problems.
I generally wear an 11 in almost all brands of shoes, but these were way too small. Sent back to exchange for size 12.Avoid yourself the trouble of having to send them back. Order a whole size larger. Great shoes.
