    love skating in vans especially the old skool pros, comfy, no size up, a little tight, you get some blisters all cool because the flick is amazing and the grip sheesh. Got a new pair of vans again after four months (no hole just super sanded down) and laces intact. Board control is great, could use some more cushion but great overall, and ofc it's stylish. Note: I am not a great of a skater as seen on my channel so you can go through the shoe a lot faster than I do

    AVE Pro, Kyle Walker Pro 1 and 2, Berle Pro, Gilbert Crockett Pro 2, and any BMX shoe from Vans are all cupsoles (or Wafflecup which is a combination of vulcanized and cupsole). Everything else, Pro/Skate and classic, are vulcanized.

      Further, it’s an alphabetized system. An A width is the skinniest possible (outside of bespoke shoes), a D is normal aka not wide. Yet, we have 4D widths as extra, extra wide shoe. I own a pair of U.S. 10 4-D dad style Nike leather. Gifted as a joke.

    18-20 years ago all I would skate are Rowley XL, absolutely amazing shoes. I tried getting back into Vans recently did not work out well. Slip on, too small they killed my feet. Kyle Walker 1 kinda ok but I did not like the break in period and when they were about to die, so I really enjoyed skating in those for a couple weeks. Half Cabs are the best to skate in my opinion but they get too loose on the ankle and are probably the shoes with worst perspiration I ever tried on, my feet were wet and shoes soggy after each sesh. There are many more models out there but I think I’m good, I stick to Lakai, Es and Adidas for the time being.

    Just so everyone knows, shoes do have a width measurement. The reason most shoes don't say how wide they are is that almost all men's shoes are D width (women's shoes are b width). Skate shoes don't typically come in multiple widths, but you might be able to find some New Balances or something if you really dig.

Had more than 15 pairs but lately they just rip from the sole at the back and I don’t get how a pro version can get messed up in such a short time from walking not even taking about skating. Can’t support something that won’t last. Have lots of vulc shoes and they don’t get trough sole as fast as vans.

    A lot of people pretty much have no clue how wide their feet really are compared to the average though. But yeah, I've got no problems fitting in Vans in terms of width for sure. And they tend to be fairly accurate in terms of shoe size. Vans are a bit love it + hate it for me. I do like the flick and boardfeel, I don't like the lack of protection all around (in terms of puffy shoes) and I don't like the lack of decent durability. They're also too expensive for the durability, to be honest. The only exception would be buying them at a steep discount. I got the Kyle Walker Pro 2s at -50% and can't say I mind that too much, even when they did get destroyed in three weeks. And I'm a beginner skater, I didn't thrash them through hard skating or anything. It's why for now I'm sticking with eS shoes. They have very good cupsole shoes with decent boardfeel (like eS Symbol, eS Accel Slim, eS Swift 1.5, eS Evant etc.). I do have wider feet, so eS tends to fit well. I'm currently skating the eS Symbol and am loving it. Probably would get a second pair right now, if it weren't so hard to find.

    I'm not sure what you're talking about but the Half Cab is about the only "wide" shoe they have. You want wide then buy DC, DVS, Globe etc... The Slip-on is definitely not wide.

      Same. They have good boardfeel but I don't think they're a super high quality skate shoe

      @@Minhlamb I have not! I’m down to try a few more Vans but after the half cab bro I feel like that shoe just isn’t made for my foot. I much prefer adidas and even some Nike shoes. Perhaps next will be some New Balance. Love the way they look on a skater doing tricks

    What's the style of Van and the name of the colorway for the second shoe on the left. The one with the dark charcoal grey rubber bottom sides and dark grey laces?

    I got some Kyle Walkers with Velcro. I feel like a kid again. Edit: I don't skate it.
