Best classic Van's shoe

[DdBob]

Authentic

Era

Old Skool

Sk8 Hi

Half Cab

Jeff Spicoli's

what say you Fashionista's of Wein world ? I'm partial to the Old skool cuz the higher ankle and the suede/canvas mix plus that stripe. My first pair of Vans was all white Slip Ons in 1983. Always wanted the Sk8 Hi but never got them. I do like the Half Cab but again, never bought any....someday though....i just always seem to buy the OS

The most metal of all footwear.

Anyway, if you’re old, you can’t be normcore. You’re just dorky.

As to the OP, I’m partial to the slip ons, but the Vans don’t fit me. I usually buy my novelty slip on gym shoes from Bucketfeet.

Or you need the ankle support because of over-pronation.

If one intends to do a 10K hangover walk-off on Michigan Avenue followed by several hours of regulating the mosh pit at Reggie’s with @yabba , it’s the best choice.

Metalness is affirmed.

Just looking at those shoes makes my feet hurt.

My tired old feet need arch support.

The best Vans ever we’re the Wallys, but they don’t make them anymore.

Of the ones you listed, I’d go with the old school because I’m wearing a pair right now.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

I have flat, wide feet. I buy the Vans slip ons from DSW. Not the most exciting color choices, but they work for me.

Who is ‘Van’?

Who is ‘Van’?

Van is the guy on the right, Halen is the guy on the left.

Van is the guy on the right, Halen is the guy on the left.

Shhhhh. The sooner they’re forgotten, the better.

In the 80’s, those were my go to skate shoes.

They probably grip the parquet floor at the old folks home really well.

Slip ons,eras and chukka lows for me but they’d never last more than a few months before they were starting to get thrashed

Never tried Vans. Early 80s I was wearing Kaepa high tops.

I routinely put 10+ miles on my no-arch-support-having garbage sneakers. My feet are true kvlt. Your tootsies listen to Poison.
