does anyone know if vans are just better now in general? i used to avoid them like the plague but i've skated rowans and old skools now and they've been pretty ight
[close]
Could be the new popcush? or you suggesting rubber compound, shape, etc? Rowans have that new outsole(gum rubber?) tech too

The Popcush is definitely more supportive. My current Old Schools have them and it felt like it took a bit longer to break in compared to the ones I had with Ultracush, but now they feel great.

The popcush insoles that came in my halfcabs are noticeably softer than the popcush insoles that were in my old skools/eras/slip-ons.... super weird - maybe they harden/soften up over time/humidity.

yeah i don't really know. the overall feel is just better on my feet. used to feel all the stitching rubbing on my feet but maybe that could be attributed to a new insole with a different fit inside the shoe?

Personally think they would've looked better without the strap.

@franc did the rowan's and crockett fit you the same? same size? Feel like crockett might run a tad longer?
[close]

Sorry for the delayed reply.

I got both in the same size (11.5) and the Gilbies might be a tiny, tiny bit longer. Both did fit well until I tried to skate the Rowans which I didn't like at all.

Curious to hear what you didn't like about them? I absolutely love mine, best skate shoe I've had in years

The sole is too thick and makes flip tricks harder. They feel kinda bulky too. I'll stick to Crocketts and Half Cab Pros from now on.

I haven’t read this topic in its entirety but I just got some TNT Advanced over the weekend to try the 3D Lite sole. I fractured my ankle a few years ago and never let it heal properly, which caused my arch to collapse to compensate...

Never used any kind of orthotic sole because I always find they hurt the arch too much, until I learnt that its something you need to let your feet adjust to. Had a solid skate in them yesterday and my session definitely lasted a little longer! Less back pain ect so I’m gonna swap these into other shoes/buy more TNT’s. Stoked

The Chima 2 has the same 3D light insole as the TNT, in case you want a different kinda shoe with the same insole!

That’s what I originally wanted.. but with such a bad ankle I needed something that was at least a normal height, Chimas are a touch too low for my liking

I've been wondering, is there reason why most suede shoes are always more off white color and not bright white?

I think it's because there's only so much bleach you can throw on skin before the integrity is compromised. Also, the heel panel of the AVE pros is stitched as opposed to welded - and always a slightly different shade than the vamp - I think the rapid-weld process fades the suede a little bit.

I can attest to the Chima 2 and the UltraCush 3D insole. I've mentioned in previous threads that UltraCush HD was the most unstable and painful insoles I've ever stepped on, and I can't understand how anyone walks on them let alone skate on them. 3D, on the other hand, isn't perfect but it doesn't hurt and feels much more stable.

Took them more than a year, but finally a colorway of this shoe that doesn't have a puke-inducing outsole.

Id be so happy if they lasted me more than 3 weeks, really want to try the Rowans out but Im afraid of buying limp dick Vans
[close]

The Rowans are extremely durable and don’t potato out like other Vans. Hold their shape and form well. Made from premium materials for a simple looking shoe.
Skated the Rowans very heavily this past summer (three to four times a week) and they lasted a solid two months before potatoing out.

Still looks wrong. Sucks you always have to have some sort of blue showing through the sole.
I swear vans will either give you a sock to skate with no tech, or go way to far like they did with the AVE or Walker 2.
Not even gonna mention changes their insole feel every few months now.

I’ve been wearing the blacked out Aves and like the way they look. The blue is still there but I dont even notice it.

The in-between shoe where it isn't a sock, but they didn't fall over themselves to make you look at the tech is the Berle. Everyone says it looks like a Kohls shoe, and they're right; but it does have some tech in it, and it still looks way better than the AVE shoe, which is seemingly a great shoe that is totally ruined by its appearance.

My friend has the berles and i noticed every time he skates them he spends at least a quarter of the session in a dark corner picking out pebbles from the sole. Bet they'd be a great shoe at clean parks but a no no in the streets. At least he's cleaning up pebbles for the rest of us at the session.
