Mostly for nostalgia, I worked at a vans retail store when they first came out so with them always being on sale plus my employee discount I got them for dirt cheap leading me to skating countless pairs and I loved them. I've never grown out of the ultra thin vulcs and figured I'd try to hunt down a pair
Got it, and good luck!
The Rowley shoes including the latest classic reissue seems to have a thinner sole than the normal pro or classics, so that might be a winner for you, different shoe and all, but at least they are thin.
I still use the same insoles from that era of Vans in most of my shoes now, the thicker ones from the TNT series and the thinner ones from the Era pro or Chukka Low pro, but I think the most recent version which is also still out of stock everywhere is the Rowley Solo shoe.
