Vratim DS-II (Black)

I bought them for my husband as a Christmas gift.... HE LOVES THEM!!!! He says it definitely makes a huge difference, he used skater shoes which were ok but he prefers these instead and that he won't go back to anything else. He keeps bragging about them. It was his favorite gift EVER!!!!

These shoes are great for drumming in. They are exceptionally light so I would highly recommend for fast double kick playing especially with ankle technique. Perfectly fine for heel-toe too, but I like a little more weight for that type of playing. Overall awesome!

I got these for my boyfriend and he loves them! The look on his face when he opened the box was golden and they were wrapped so nice. Great customer service. Great product.

Thanks Vratim for comfortable drum shoe. I love it!!

I've been using Vratim shoes since the first model, and using this latest v2 model has continued to deliver that quality. The soles are comfortable and truly feel one with the pedals, they feel light on your feet, and the shoes in general feel comfortable to wear outside when not playing on stage too.

I got my shoes,two days after ordering and I use these shoes for everyday things, fit very comfortably and stylish.

I felt an instant difference first time I started playing with these shoes. My playing had never been so smooth and flawless. At band practice, songs that were normally difficult for me to play, I played with ease. I will definitely be wearing these when I record my next album in a few months. I truly hope Vratim never goes out of business because I want to play with these shoes for the rest of my life!

I've been playing drums for 20+ years, and in all that time, I had always just played in socks. Recently, a fellow drummer friend of mine had told me about Vratim and their shoes, and he persuaded me to give them a try. I was apprehensive at first, but that all went away as soon as I slipped them on. Right out of the box, the shoes felt very comfortable, and not bulky or heavy. As someone who uses the heel-toe technique, I was worried that the shoes would disrupt the natural motion of my ankles in doing that, such as feeling too bulky on my pedals, but I was happily surprised to see that they didn't get in the way or hinder my technique at all! They didn't require hardly much of a "breaking in" period before feeling as natural as when I would play in only my socks. The shoes are comfortable, slim fitting as to not disrupt the natural motion of my ankles while playing, keep a nice grip on my pedals while still allowing me to adjust my foot position as needed, and they just look very cool and stylish! I look forward to not having to spend that extra couple of minutes after a rehearsal or a gig to lace up my heavy boots so I can go about my business afterwards. Thanks, Vratim!

Easily the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn.
