Kyle Walker's pro model shoes blend the responsive flexibility of a classic vulcanized sole with the impact support of a cupsole thanks to Vans' Wafflecup Construction. The cushy footbed offers additional impact protection needed for gaps and stairsets. Vans also added Duracap reinforced suede throughout the upper for extra abrasion resistance. What this means for you is more flick for your hard-earned money. You can tell Kyle went all out on these so take advantage.

Sole
Vulcanized - “Vulc” shoes are light, flexible and break in quickly. These don't provide as much foot protection as cupsoles, but they are preferred if you’re looking for good board feel in a shoe with less weight and bulk.
Cupsole - Durable and shock-absorbing to provide the best impact protection against hard landings. Cupsoles generally last longer than a vulcanized sole but don't provide as much flexibility and board feel right out of the box.
Footbed
UltraCush™ HD - Vans' polyurethane-based UltraCush™ HD sockliner keeps the foot close to the board yet won't pack out over time, providing the highest level of impact cushioning.
Details
Original Waffle Outsole - Made with soles twice as thick so they would wear longer, this original formula combines durability with flexy board-feel to keep all the Vans' fans happy.
Wafflecup™ Construction - A vulcanized cupsole? YES. This revolutionary construction offers skaters the support of a cupsole with the board feel of a vulcanized shoe.
Duracap™ - Developed and tested to withstand the abuse of the Vans pro skateboarding team; reinforcement is provided through rubber underlays in the toebox and ollie-area for lasting durability to save you time and money.

Good Shoe

Vans Kyle Walker Pro Skate Shoes
I been skating in this particular model for about 5 years now. I have yet to be convinced to skate in anything else. Good board feel and control, decent support, classic look. Wish they lasted just a little bit longer.

Vans Kyle Walker Pro Skate Shoes - granite/rock
These should be described as very similar to the many other higher end VANS. If you know, you know. Extremely comfortable right out of the box. Great looks too.

Vans Kyle Walker Pro Skate Shoes - (reflective) blueprint/true white
This was a gift for my son's birthday and I was worried it might not arrive on time. It arrived earlier than expected very grateful for that.

Asked by Broc on 9/12/2016
How's the fit? Cupsoles in other brands usually run bigger than vulcs

These run true to size and I would order the same size you would in any other vans
