Insired by the original Half Cab from '92, this fresh build from Vans features modern tech for today's skate world. The fully revised upper with molded heel counter, locked-in tongue straps, and a recut of the DURACAP™ underlay offers an essential fit that is more breathable and durable where skaters need it most. The two-part foxing, featuring a tougher toe knurl, ensures heightened board contact, and the redesigned gum rubber sole that made Vans famous has been made even better with SickStick™ rubber compound and an internal heel shank to deliver more grip, more boardfeel, more support, and more durability.

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.
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 are the only footwear I put on my feet, I can never go wrong with Vans, DOPE!!!

Vans Skate Half Cab '92 Shoes - dress blues
I had half cabs probably a decade ago and these feel lighter than those. Def has board feel. They run narrow but normal length in size. I think most vans run narrow? I usually wear a solid 7 in womens but in all skate shoes I wear 5s. Love the colorway dress blue.

Vans Skate Half Cab '92 Shoes - marshmallow/black
A bit stiff when you get them but they feel amazing when you break them in!! Took only 1 session to break them in for me. They're built with premium materials so they'll last a really long time. I will absolutely buy these again!!????????
