Title: How to wear half cabs
Post by: Technique on March 04, 2019, 09:23:17 AM
No idea why I bought them and have no idea what to wear them with. I still wouldn’t want to sell or trash them since they are extremely comfortable and seem to skate really well. I wanna wear them more often without looking like an early 90s EMB inhabitant in cutoffs or a modern day gx bumfuck in baggy dickies. Give me some fashion advice guys.

Depends on your politics but if they are pros you could probably fit those boxy wide fuckers over a beanie and a mesh hat

I wouldn’t recommend it though. Maybe wear them with swishy pants, really subvert expectations.

Wear them naked with a photo of steve berra glued to your scrotum. I heard it's the one thing everybody's doing that GX can't STAND.

if it was 2010, id say lace em to the metal aglet and pop that tongue, yo.

but it's not, personally I'd wear them with some dickies laced all the way up, covering the mid-top portion.

Damn.  Up to the metal eyelet and pop the tongue was my response to the original "how to lace your half cabs" thread way back when.  Last pair I had I went one above the eyelet though,  growing up.  I'll be 30 this year and might have to go all the way to the top like Steve Bailey if I get another pair.

never had this shoe .. someone kill me

I skated red full cabs in 92.. I was 11

I had half cabs a few times in the mid-late 90’s stopped buying them
Because every pair felt different..

I’m glad they are still popular today however I don’t see myself wearing any vulc shoes
Any time soon.. they don’t feel good to me

I probably would ask my parents or guardian if I was having trouble at working
On how to put your clothes on.. they should be able to help

Sorry for taking so long to respond but I had to do a lot of research.  I hope this is useful to you:

You have to cut them down to low tops like everyone else does.

Have you all seen Rowan skating what looks to be a new Half Cab? A low version or a lower profile version it seems.
Title: Re: How to wear half cabs
Post by: Little Debbie on April 27, 2019, 12:32:52 PM
the proper way to wear half-cabs is with slightly baggy blue jeans. maybe a flannel and beanie too. but you need to look haggard and unkempt. pile status.

Does anyone know if they skate similar to Sk8-mid pro's? Wanna try a pair but I hated my last pair of Vans.
Title: Re: How to wear half cabs
Post by: Painted Baby on April 27, 2019, 07:32:04 PM
I haven't skated SK8 HIs since I was a kid and never skated mids but I would say they are pretty different. I've never skated the half cab pros so all my info is about the classics. Kind of the puff and support of a cup with the vans sole you already know and then with some nice ankle support and protection.

I liked half cabs way better than sk8his (never skated mid). The sk8hi had some seam near my pinky toe that kept rubbing the shit out of my foot. Half cabs were just better for me. I just rip out that foam insole and put something good in.

Whatever you want.

Personally I don’t like a high top or mid top with shorts unless they’re tied tight all the way to the top. They also skate better that way in my opinion.

I wear Blazer Mids with pants, shorts, thongs, and completely nude.
