Thinking of getting some AVE 2.0 for chillers, non-knit version. I've read they run narrow, but going 1/2 a size up and they're too long.

I've got a wide foot thanks to bunions, will the AVE 2.0 be murder on my feet?

[close]

I have a medium/not-wide foot, and they are snug but skate and feel good once broken in. Great arch support, too. Not sure if a wide foot will take to it though. If you can try them on in-store or have a free return option, it might be worth your while.

Thanks for that, if a medium foot a snug then a wide foot like mine will be torture. Passing on them.

Good idea to pass on them, i can ONLY skate in sk8 hi's due to my wide foot and i tried on the Ave normal size and half size up and its a joke how narrow they are.

He’s wearing the AVE classics on Ginger’s grave in his stories

Hopefully they fixed that half-circle on inside that wasn’t aligned with the arch.  Always bugged me

Damn autocorrect - HR Giger’s grave

Today I ordered some AVE 2.0's in Estate Blue suede with the ice blue fade. Psyched to try out some tech Vans after decades of skating the classics

[Nth syd bear]

Those blue fade aves look sick.

I like the all black/black Curren that dropped the other day too

Kyle Walker "Wafflecup"? At least they're simplistic. https://skateparkoftampa.com/products/vans-kyle-walker-wafflecup-shoes?variant=51876730405137

Ewww, it still says 'Kyle Walker' on it.

Skating some 2.0 Wayvees (hard to pass on them when they were $12), much better fit than the first gen tho the upper mesh  seems like it'll rip any second.

[mynameisnotjeff]

Are the Currens getting the blue steel, Classic vans suede treatment?

[oyolar]

Kyle Walker's shoes have always been Wafflecup. SPoT must have just labeled them oddly. They've also been aorund for forever - why is everyone acting like these are new?

[lemonchicken91]

looks updated, hopefully stiffer

I have a pair of the original and the tongue is the perfect thickness and they lasted a long time

The old wafflecup was flmisy though, just a slightly more robust vulc really

I just swapped out the insoles for the Emerica g6 and they are great chillers, I dont skate them and they do get hot.
They look a lot better on foot than in pictures, only got them because they were 40 on sale in 2021

It is an updated version of the shoe. Beefed up, grippier sole, thicker tongue, no pull on loop, and a couple different panels.

They look cheap af

 Vans only has two dope pro .models right now,, AVE 2.0 and Rowan 2. In that order. That other shit makes me think of Kohl's.

I hope the fix the half circle on the arch.   I had the blue kids where that was white leather so maybe it drove me crazier that it wasn’t aligned with the arch of the foot and maybe just centered on the shoe

Village Psychic did a rundown too on their substack. Now I get it.

[manuduncan]

got some nick michel model half cabs and they're great

seems to be made of a more premium suede material and the laces are like those hiking shoes laces so don't rip which is my main gripe with regular half cabs - setting the laces so wide that they'll most definitely touch griptape on every trick

Half Cabs & Gilbert Crockett pro models would like a stern word with you

imo the rowan 1s are way more dope than the 2s - i just cannot visually get over how a third of the shoe is just sole

[chihuahuadad2000]

I just can’t get behind the waffle cup. It’s heavy and clunky.

I'm with ya on the look, but in performance the 2s smoke the 1s. You gain so much more durability and support that the small loss in boardfeel is stil practical. Personally, I also feel like there's too much canvas on most of the vulc models.

But yeah, that sole on the 2s is as tall as a curb. And I haven't been a big fan of most of the colorways.

Fuck, now I want another pair of Rowans....

absolutely, im strictly talking about the look of them, i have no doubt the durability/support is better. if i got a pair of rowan 2s it'd prob be the all black ones because the sole/body of the shoe being one color is easier on the eye

the two vans shoes i rotate between are the nick michel half cabs and the crocket hi's, thumbs up for both of them
