[HATE!]

Vans is fucking genius for rarely releasing them in all suede.

 

[Deekay]

huf is killing it so fucking hard with both shoes and the clothes. I want everything they make.

[victor333]

man i aint tryna hate on nobody's favorite kicks or nothin but im sure there are a ton of shoes that skate just as good as some old schools while actually having some form of durability. or ankle/foot support for that matter. i mean i fucks with the waffle grip but dog ive seen socks that last longer

I just feel, when it comes to skating them, the opinion on Vans is so polarizing: you either love it or hate it.

Yea, the waffle sole is good...but so is just about every other sole; I don't know...

The Vans I had, and tried skating, put me in so much pain I vowed to never skate Vans again. Now, I know not all Vans are the same, and I had the chukka lows, and Vans probably makes more padded vulcs.

However, I just think that Vans silhouette, the sole, and the upper thickness, etc. keep some people coming back and keep others - like me - far, far away.

Vans chukka boots look weird to me.

the only vans ive really fucked with are half-cabs which are pretty damn good for a vulc shoe, but i couldnt even imagine skating in those eras or old schools. IMO the waffle grip & toe shape are the only benefits it has as far as a skate shoe. they have very little durability  foot support which is pretty much a no go for me.


EDIT: DEM DUNKS GOIN HARD!

They really do, unless they're on your feet.  I can't explain it, but it's true.

I hear you on that. If you're going to put out a thin vulc shoe, a good insole is a must. The vans insoles are complete shit. I landed primo once and said fuck it.

And, yea, that upper is paper thin - not fun having the board smash your toes

[Watson]

Do y'all just shoe goo the fuck out of your shoes?  I've skated a pair of old schools once and I completely destroyed them in about 3 sessions.

Yes, I do.

When AVE did his SLAP Pals Question, didn't he say that he'd go through a pair of Old Schools in about a day when he was filming for Mindfield?

^TRUTH! I can't make a pair last more than 2 or 3 couple hour sessions. But...... TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!! 

Not trying to plug my own shit, but this works really well if you like skating canvas shoes, or even if you blow through regular shoes really quick. Extends the life of your shoes and looks cleaner than Shoo Goo.

Skating some red canvas CTS right now with that shit hooked up.

[BraveUlysses]

Watson! I used to check your blog everyday and those Life Of Ryan reviews had me dying from laughter. I wish you would post as much shit as you used too.

Funny thing is, Chukka Lows are one of there more padded vulcs.

Huf Pro's have a weak toe area that get's flimsy and blown out quickly, but they look good for just wearing around, and they're comfortable.

[Gay Imp Sausage Metal]

old skools are actually amazing to skate in hence why people in this day and age still wear them. imho the order should be:

1. half cab/ rowley 1's
2. old skools
3. eras

I agree that the non removable insoles in Vans suck.  If you get rid of those with a butter knife and throw in some good insoles...you're in business.

I thought the AV6 had really nice insoles.

[noileum]

the AV6's I had just came with the glued in shite insoles

Plus they seemed wide as fuck compared to other vans I'd skated so after a week I traded them to a mate

i don't get why they ever stopped making them 
it doesn't make sense. surely out of all his models this was his best seller?
colourways were always top notch too...

[Fongstarr.]

oh, sweet hufnagel!

Me rikey arrot!!!

[Fongstarr.]

[burm]

Wow... strange colorway, but strangely attractive as well.
