skating my 2nd pair of vans they and both seem like below average shoes... the sk8 Hi i had before was like paper thin and hurt my feet really bad to land on. it seemed more like a pair of converses.

now im tryin vans again i got some caballero highs and they are really stiff and not comfortable at all to skate in. were already scuffing after about 20 minutes of skating. it seems like the only thing going for their shoes are the outsoles it seems grippier and like it would last longer. other than that they are uncomfortable and the toecap tear hella fast. i cant speak for the low tops but vans really suck at making high tops. atleast theyre cheap.
vanz are awesome
what do u guys think about there shoes

the grip is wack but good enough to still sk8 in

wwwwhhhhhhhhhaaaaaat the grip is the best,...but only for like 4 weeks and the soles blow out before the stiching,...

ok the skate mid/high sucks the holder sucks chuckas suck and the full cab sucks to skate in, but the era, ave shoes and tnt5 and half cabs are legit shoes. all i've been skting for like 2 years,..with STI shoes[eS',etnies, and emerica] the sole falls off the shoe and supras look dumb and were made for people who have 150 to waste on a skate skate show every month. i love skating vans....i just got the super tuf black/white haf cabs,..shits the s**t

the good thing about vans are they're cheap to skate in
And its better than wearing good shoes like supras or emericas 2 sk8 in

eh id way rather skate supra high tops than vans high tops... more expensive but i think it is worth it. supras are more comfortable on my feet, the toecap lasts longer, and i get better board feel.

i get what ur sayin tho if i only had one clean pair of supras and a pair of cheap vans to skate id rather shred up the cheap ones and keep the nice ones clean.

the vaider and muska skytop are ridicules
and dont last long

don't try getting the pro's skate shoe,but the bucky lasek's are comfortable,other than that just get the one's that look comfortable and feel comfortable,pretty much if you can goto a vanz store so you can try many variations of the shoes.

put on some vans halfcabs. then maybe you'll understand. it's the longest running pro model shoe in the business.

if you can't get your hands on those try some emerica westgates they are like a updated more comfy version.
