for those interested. Mesh seems to blow out quick. I have no earthly idea why vans never extends the duracap to cover that area. I blow through that way quicker than my toes on most shoes. The crockett highs and rowans have duracap rubber over the side but I believe most other vans models do not.

I have the dime wayvees and after the video I will def be just using them as chillers


Thankfully I don't blow out the traditional ollie hole area (no idea why that is, foot angle I feel). Kid killed in that review.

The new skate line is available for a while now, what is the consensus about them?

I am thinking about trying the skate sk8-hi. Have some halfcab pros and although they are mad comfy, they bag out a lot and aren't snug enough for me for skating.

Are the skate sk8-hi a bit more stiff and snug as the pro line?
[close]
I can't speak on the Skate Sk8 Hi-s but stiff and snug are two adjectives I would use to describe Skate Half Cabs. I love them and think they are a vast improvement over the Pros but maybe you like the squish? From what I have heard, all of the Skate line have increased stiffness and a tighter fit. I also tried the Slip-Ons and found them to be stiff and snug but felt that ruined the fit and I came away not liking them much.
[close]

a few hours in and I feel the same regarding the skate half cabs. the fit very well and I'd say they're snug but don't squeeze my fairly wide feet (for reference, Adidas, NB#, èS are all too tight on my feet). My feet aren't sore after skating and it feels like there is more support- while there's no arch support per say, my arch/medial ankle-heel isn't dumping or dropping down in these). I guess the thing will be to see how long they stay this way.

Thanks to you two, sounds pretty good to me.

A more snug fit is exactly what I need in Vans; so far, the only correct fit in the line-up are the AVEs as they are a bit more snug than the rest.

Just noticed that Vans have added the Wayvee to their customizer thing.  $145 is pretty steep tho

Vans has been shitting the bed for a few years.
Lets all remember vans from the 90’s…they are quickly going in that direction again.

I disagree. Vans had some great shoes in the 90s as well as some clunkers. Same as today.

The Vans Skate Classic shoes are the best versions of the classic shoes yet. The Wayvee might not be the best looking shoe but it skates well.

They had terrible shoes in the 90’s. That whole pro line sucked. Trying to keep up with osiris and etnies. Wasn’t until rowley came around that they were worth wearing and i loved all that stuff.
I’m sure some of the new ones skate well but very ugly and expensive.

Are the walker pro (the first one) as narrow in the forefoot/toebox as the crockett high? I've been wearing wider toe-box athletic shoes and now I can't wear my fucking crocketts

Lately my local has been receiving skate vans starting from 8.5 instead of 8 as usual. Could this be because they fit different and 8.5 is the new 8? ::)

I haven't tried the Crockett's, but I find the forefoot/toe box of the walker pro's to be pretty narrow. The laces start pretty high so you don't can't really give yourself extra room by lacing them a little looser.

Do the old Skool skates and half cab skates fit similarly? Love the fit of the half cabs and was wondering if I should order the same size for the old skools . Local doesn’t have any in stock and I don’t want to get them at the local vans store.

No. The toe box is much more narrow on old skools. I loved how i skated wearing them but my feet hated me

No. If I was you, I would stick to the half cabs. I had the old skools and hated them but then got the half cabs and I love them. Size-wise they fit the same for length but keep in mind that the old skools are slimmer. If you have a regular width foot then get the same size, but I would recommend just getting a new pair of the half cabs ;D

Agreed with the other posts above.

I am between 11 and 12 for most shoes, sometimes I can wear 11s in Half Cabs (especially pro versions) but Old Skools I definitely had to go to 12 in the Skate versions (no half sizes here in AU) but I feel like the 12 was a good fit anyway.

If you feel like you can get away with a half size up or so, they might work for you in the same way they worked for me, otherwise it is a bit of a lucky dip in getting shoes that are either a bit too tight or a bit too big.

My feet thank me for going a bit bigger, but sometimes I feel like skating in shoes that are too big is a struggle as well.



I talk too much about skateboards.  Sorry.

I been skating those skate Half-Cabs for a while now. It wasn't the easiest switch from Sk8-Highs and Old Skools I skated for years before, as the Half-Cabs didn't really have the same board feel, especially the midsole part felt really stiff before the shoes were worn in, and that took few weeks. But after that, they've been great.

But I've been wanting to get brown half-cabs for a long time (because you know, Stranger , so I was stoked on the Reynolds Half-Cabs 92's.

Wasn't supposed to buy any shoes today, but the local shop had the Reynolds in my size, I put them on and holy shit they felt good right away.

The 92's have a bit different stitching on the top cap compared to the modern Half-Cab, which probably is bad news if your flips/ollies use that part of the shoe, but it really changes how the shoes feel for some reason. Definitely looking forward to skate these.



The "Skate" Old Schools use different material on the heel tap (some kind of faux leather instead of canvas) and fuck it will kill your achilles immediately. Almost got blisters just from walking hundred meters to get some groceries and my friends have had the exact same experience.

You have them laced all the way up?

Also, it looks like  they changed the toe box panel back to the old way. I remember in cab’s 9 club he talked about how they made the two panels one piece(when vans made the pros I think) because the stiching would blow out right there. From what I’ve seen online it looks like Reynolds “designed”(helped with?) this one.

All I’ve got to say is that I’ll take Reynolds word on skate shoes over cab(cab also laces them all the way up).

Oh and also, I heard someone talking about the tongue being weird too like it’s not the normal mesh(?). What’s up with that?

for those interested. Mesh seems to blow out quick. I have no earthly idea why vans never extends the duracap to cover that area. I blow through that way quicker than my toes on most shoes. The crockett highs and rowans have duracap rubber over the side but I believe most other vans models do not.

I have the dime wayvees and after the video I will def be just using them as chillers
