Overview

The Vans Skate Era Wafflecup takes one of the most iconic silhouettes in skateboarding history and upgrades it with advanced WaffleCup technology. This hybrid construction is specifically engineered to solve the traditional trade-off between protection and precision, offering the impact-resistant support of a cupsole while maintaining the superior boardfeel and flexibility of a vulcanized shoe. Built for the next generation of skaters, it provides a modernized fit that is durable enough for high-impact landings without sacrificing the classic aesthetic that defined the original Era 50 years ago.

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.

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

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.

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.
