Overview

Introducing the Vans Curren Caples. Crafted as a signature low-top skate shoe, Curren's first pro model is specifically designed to meet the demands of skateboarding, boasting enhanced durability and performance features. The upper combines sturdy suede and 10 oz canvas, for both breathability and resilience. Inside, PopCush footbeds provide superior impact protection, reducing leg fatigue for those extended skate sessions. Finally, the innovative Wafflecup construction merges the support and durability of a cupsole with the coveted board feel and flexibility of a vulcanized shoe.

Wafflecup™ Construction

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

Wafflecup™ Construction - A vulcanized cupsole? YES. This revolutionary construction offers skaters the support of a cupsole with the board feel of a vulcanized shoe.

Great shoes, but too tight for vans!

Vans Skate Curren Caples Shoes - red/white

Tried these on in a shop when they came out and they fit great. Ordered a pair from Tactics and the fit is not the same at all. Van's sizing has become so inconsistent. All good with Tactics! I just wish Vans could stick with the regular Vans sizings and fit. All over the place now!

Vans Skate Curren Caples Shoes - gum black/white

Have been wearing them for only 2 days so far, mostly walking around. They feel like they don't need time to break in. Board feel is excellent.

Vans Skate Curren Caples Shoes - charcoal/black

So comfy. Been wearing these through my 11 hour shifts. I just push a penny so they can handle my skating. Nice slim look completely unique but pulling from other classic styles.

Nice, but narrow

Vans Skate Curren Caples Shoes

I've had a few pair of Lizzie lows that I've loved, and they didn't crush my little toe. Since those are no longer available, I thought the Currens would be a good replacement, but my little toes are suffering. I miss the old Vans models of the 90s. Everything now is too narrow, and the few wides they offer don't have a removable sole (my old feet need special treatment).
