Built with a suede and canvas upper, these shoes feature a durable Duracap underlay to protect against your flip tricks with the SickStick rubber outsole for maximum grip, and lined with the PopCush insole for optimal impact protection.

Features
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 youre looking for good board feel in a shoe with less weight and bulk.
Footbed
PopCush™ - Vans' PopCush insoles snap back and won't pack! This proprietary foam compound was meticulously tuned and tested for impact protection, superior cushioning, and custom energy return. This upgraded foam performs better than Vans' UltraCush™ compound for all types of skating so you can skate longer and go harder than ever before.
Details
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.
SickStick™ - Taking inspiration from Vans' beloved original gum rubber formula, the SickStick formula is the grippiest and the stickiest gum sole in Vans history. Extensively tested by Vans' team riders, the formula is uniquely calibrated to deliver enhanced grip and durability, and also make a firm bind to the foxing tape, so you can be in complete control of your board.

Vans Skate Authentic Mid Shoes - heritage mustard
I saw these at my local surf/skate shop back home when I was visiting, and they only had guy sizes. I was thrilled when she told me about this website and found that they came in my size. I m obsessed with that chartreuse color and it is exactly as pictured--there were just two subtle drop like scuffs on the top of one of the shoes but it is only noticeable super close up.
