Honestly the only shoes I wear are the Vans pro models...got the “ultra cusion” for high impact resistance...feels like I’m walking on clouds all day and that’s being on my feet for 8+ hours a day...stay away from the “Oldschools” though...ZERO support...not to mention I wear those EXACT shoes and love them!

I mainly only wear/skate Emerica G6 Slip ons. Sometimes they last long sometimes not so much. I think due to material shortages around the world, a lot of companies have been resorting to what is available. They're still some of the most consistent shoes I've come across and great for skating. Excellent board control with just enough comfort. (and you can always get the Wino G6 if you want laces.)

Great review! I got a pair of the new Vans "skate" slip-ons, and a pair of slip-on pros because I wanted to compare. The pros were cozy as hell straight out of the box, amazing grip & board feel and just a pleasure to wear comfortably anywhere. The "skate" slip-ons are still stiff after over a month. The shank is way stiffer, the sole has a little less grip and less board feel, it feels like a work shoe, I don't know, i don't like this new direction. Can't argue that the durability has improved and the new "skate" line will take more of a beating, but I would compromise that any day for comfort and board feel.

Agree ... the new insoles pop Cush hurt my feet , I had the half cabs for a few months now and they are still super stiff ... like I walked around the mall in them today and my feet are killing me right now .. my pro classics I feel are way more comfortable the insoles and way they break in ...I won’t be buying the new skate vans anymore... I was in vans outlet today and saw some pros still around and was thinking of stocking up on a pair or two for future cuz I love the pros

love skating vans but they definitely get floppy in the forefoot after a while which sucks. Ive been seeing some comments about lakai's, I skated the Daly's and the tread was super deep, didn't flop out and I never wore the soles to the end of the tread, good shoes with nice flick!

I agree they break in beautifully. But part of the reduced break in is less rigid structure. I wear the Rowans and it was by accident I was given a size 9 when I am a 9.5. So I wore them round for 2 weeks and figured the front of my toe had room so it should fit comfortably if I can stretch them out. By the end of it the fit like a glove and have stretched out to accommodate my width. Now I am buying size 9s only in vans and breaking them in longer. The shoe lasts me months mind you too old to be popping Ollie's like I used to but every aspect of bowl riding and grip has remained. What I have been suggesting is to buy a half size down for vans getting rid of the extra space in them...breaking them in longer and seeing whether there is any truth to what I am suggesting

Got those same Vans and love them, however I also bought a pair of Etnies Marana with the Michellin sole. The latter are way more stiff and harder to break in, but also very comfortable and durable. However, I still love my vans. So in sum, I have a pair of vulcanised and another pair of cupsoles shoes.

Only Vans for Skating and BMX since 1983. No other shoe has met the mark and I've worn them all over the decades. Im partial to the "pro" series now for cushioning, but og slip ons and high tops still the best IMO.

I personally love the PRO series of Vans. When they did away with that and made the SKATE 'versions' of the classics I was super bummed out. Vans was a brand built around skateboarding since the begining and for them to add the 'Skate' part to the shoes names is rather redundant. The Pro line was far superior and felt better on foot. I've tried other brands and the brand I want to give some love to but can't is Emerica. I am a size 9 in Vans and in Emerica, the shoes are just wonky on my foot. They feel far too long and are basically clown shoes for me. I've tried eS and the same thing happened to me too.

i dont like paying more than $45 for a pair of shoes to skate in. so its hard to find alot of other brands that put on shoe sales. etnies and es have been putting alot of sales on lately and have gotten most shoes for around $30 and all are suede skate shoes. hopefully they grip and last at least a month. but the new sick grip is grippier than previous waffle compounds.

Hmmm I have to disagree with you completely on the vans upgrade not being worth it, the rubber on the actual outsole not just the bottom tread was upgraded as well I believe and I’ve found it to last much longer compared to my older vans, but I do a lot of flip tricks myself. From what I’ve watched our skating styles are much different so I figured I’d just throw in my two cents. Keep it up I enjoy the vids 👍🏻
