Overview

Released in 1992 the Half Cab was a true icon of innovation. Street skaters in the 90's would cut off the collar of the original Vans Caballero pro model giving birth to the Half Cab. With skateboarding ever changing Vans completely revamped the Half Cab creating, the Vans Skate Half Cab. This shoe apart of "Vans Skate Classics" line of footwear. The most iconic skate shoes created by Vans but revamped to fit the needs of modern day skateboarding. These shoes integrate tongue straps for a snug fit, DURACAP underlay for durability, SickStick a rubber compound used to make a grippy outsole, and internal heel shanks to deliver more board feel in order to create a classic yet modern skate shoe.

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 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.

First Half Cab Ever

Vans Skate Half Cab Shoes - vintage sport white/red
I usually get Fallen Troopers, éS Accels, and number by New Balance. So mostly cup soles. But I always wanted to get hi tops of a mid height shoe as of late to change it up. I always knew I would get a pair of Half Cabs but I never knew when. Now I wish I had been wearing this style of shoe since day one. I love how stiff it is. Yet it is Vulc? Crazy! I know it will loosen up over time but skating and walking around feels stable. Only reason why I am not giving it 5 stars is that they are still pretty expensive.

Vans Skate Half Cab Shoes
I have several pairs of half cabs and love them but the leather on the white/green ones is so stiff I can only wear them for about 20 minuets before my feet are screaming for me to take them off. 100% regret this purchase.

Asked by B.BIGFORD on 11/22/2023
I’ve skated the Rowan 1 before is this similar
Answered by Logan D (Tactics Employee) on 11/24/2023
Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. They are pretty similar, both shoes feature a lot of the same tech but the main difference I would say is that the Half Cabs fit a lot more like a classic skate shoe and are a bit wider where the Rowan 2s are styled a bit more after a sneaker and are narrower.

Hope this helps!
