Are high tops good for skateboarding? Are these the best ankle support skate shoes? Are vans pro worth it? Maybe. The Gilbert Crockett Highs are a super stylish, comfortable skate shoe.
If they're good enough for Gilbert in Vans Alright Ok, and Quasi Grand Prairie, they're probably good enough for me.
I hope you enjoy this vans skate review! - Навчання та стиль
such a good vid, hopefully more shoe reviews to come :)
Dude your content is so good!!!! How don’t you have more subs?!
Haha! I appreciate it! I just started a month ago, so I’m working on it 😎
These feel like $200 boots. I usually can't stand the Pop Cush insole in Half Cabs, but they somehow work perfectly in these - maybe bc of the cupsole. They're on that perfect cusp of style where they look simultaneously timeless and fashion-forward. I don't even wanna skate them! I've never been more impressed with a Vans shoe. Might even wear them on a date.
Regarding sizing: I'm somewhere between a 10 and 10.5 in Vans, but closer to a 10.5 these days, and the 10 in these fit perfectly with just enough wiggle room (and that's right out the box). So I'd agree with going half a size down. Hope they keep making these.
The Vans high top classics are my favorite skate shoes since 82-83' (my first pair) I just bought another pair on 9-1-22 and love them still!
The Sk8-Hi?
I dug the AV SK8-Lo from back in 2011/2012. The new Skate Classic Sk8-Hi is not my cup of tea. Boardfeel isn’t really there and the outsole does not flex enough.
Nice review! I hope you get to 1k soon!
Thanks a ton! Im sure I’ll be there soon!
Thanks for watching! 🙋🏼♂️🙏🏻
I ordered these because I broke my leg and dislocated my ankle in a mini and just getting back in a board. I wear a decent size ankle brace to stabilize, so figured this shoe being a high would suffice. Looks like there is minimal padding on the ankle section which I’m looking for to get the brace into the shoe. Good review, really enjoyed it, thanks!
Ah man. Hope you heal up to 100% soon! A big part of my healing was some resistance band stretching. Strength training for my ankles is key for me these days. Thanks for watching!
Thanks man!
@@SkateboardDad Hi Skateboard dad, recon you could link me, or explain your band stretching and strengthening techniques with me??? I have been doing a ton of barefoot workouts to strengthen my screwed ankles and would love to learn more! I appreciate you and your channel :)
@@_sk8papi991 Whenever I go hiking or for a walk, I go barefoot, and it has helped my feet and ankles for sure.
Sick video bro
Yo! I appreciate it. Thanks for watching 😎
Great review..
Thanks for watching 😎
They make a low top version that's mostly suede, I think it's new. There's still a little canvas on the sides, but they have more suede than canvas.
Thank you for this video. Have you tried the chukka incense shoes? im debating between them and the crokket high ones
I haven’t! They look similar to an old skool though. As long as they’re the skate or pro version, the chukkas should be pretty good. 🤷🏼♂️
Love these shoes! I have them in black
Oh sick! I’ll probably get those next!
Y feel that ankle, had a broke ankle few years ago, thats the reason for buy that shoe, it feels more secure. But i love the chima 1
Nice bro getting a pair for x mas eaither black with the white stripe or blue and navy blue
Heck yeah. They're good shoes for sure. Not entirely for me, but a ton of people love them.
Lol I also rolled my ankle trying to treflip 😭😭 It sucks
Great vid
Ah! Hope it heals well! Thanks a ton! 🙏🏻
So I specifically looked up reviews for this shoe because I rolled my ankle and sprained the shit out of it trying tre flips recently and thought, “I wonder if high tops would help for when I recover.” Ope.
I bought some elastic bands for when I can start building strength again, but is there anything else you’d recommend for getting back on the board?
Oh dang! I hope you heal up well!
You could try an ankle brace if you’re really concerned, but there are downsides to that as well.
My biggest advice would just to continue to strengthen your ankles, and getting a pair of shoes you feel support your foot well, and allow as much mobility as possible. I’ve been using the Tiago 1010s, and while they’re not my favorite style, I probably won’t skate another shoe again, because they work for me.
Whatever steps you can take to mentally stay comfortable are a huge help. I rolled my right ankle really badly, so I rarely jump down anything right foot forward. It probably doesn’t make sense realistically, but it gives me a little more peace of mind.
Thanks for watching!
@@SkateboardDad yeah I get that, the mental side of things is important. Appreciate the help, I’m a dad as well trying to skate whenever I can so I appreciate what you do!
Any experience with the Sk8-hi? I’m curious how these stack up to them. They seem pretty similar minus the sole and suede materials.
Unfortunately I don’t 😕 I imagine it’s mostly the same
Its literally the same thing in my opinion
@@darklighting637 that’s what I figured. Appreciate it.
Not at all. Skate hi are vulcanized, meaning they got the typical very flat Vans feel. The waffle cup is what made me get back into Vans. Really like the Wayvee and hoping to cop a pair of these
The whole high tops are for ankle stability/to avoid rolling your ankle thing is complete nonsense btw. I forget who invented that, maybe Nike.
You can see when that idea was invented and given up on in the way basketball sneakers evolved from very slight fabric and low top sneakers, to high top sneakers, and now back to mid/low top sneakers.
What mid/high tops will offer protection against is the board hitting your ankle or something similar (but of course mostly in more heavily padded models).
That being said, I love the Crockett High. They are very good skate shoes, and fit much better than the more famous Sk8-Hi if you ask me.
Yeah I fell for it hard. 😂 thanks for watching!
They help to a certain degree.. that’s why I landscape in 8” redwing boots and not low top chucks anymore. As
your know when you roll
your ankles all the time that shit stretches out and easy to reinjure. Sucks getting old skate dad. Keep ripping.
Would you say these are a wide shoe? I have wide ass feet and always struggle to find a shoe that fits
etc ankle brace will give you the support to get you back on the board.
I remember looking at those a while back. I think an old pro started the company 🤔
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Broke my ankle almost two years ago and it changed how I skate, thought big shoes could fix my issues. Turns out my legs just sucks and I’ll blow it out after a hour of skating
rolling ur ankle on tre flips is so annoying, i felt ur pain 😭💀
Haha. For real. Thanks for watching!
i did not like skating thes shoes =(
