I just wish Vans would give all their shoes a Wide option. I really want half cabs but they are too narrow for my feet. I bought the Grosso mids and they never broke in enough even when I used those shoes stretchers contraptions. The only pair I have found so far is the Rowan’s and even those need a bit of stretching to fit right.

Since last December Vans has been sending all their shoes laced up from the factory, but I'm sure it's done by machines because all shoes are tightened to hell. Sk8 hi's and all hi top models are a pain to most people. While this saves us time on the floor, it's really counterproductive in terms of people's feet. I say this because I own two pairs, and the only way I could wear them extremely comfortable was by untying them and tying them back up. The pink ones are so god damn cool, it's incredible. All Sold in the first week. We only have size 6's and 13's 😂

"First womens signature shoe since the cara berth".... thats fugged up. I hope they sell well so we have more pro models from girls. I will be doing my part and picking up the black lizzies, i love lizzie and hitops 😎 Only thing i wish it had is the stripe in different color so it creates some contrast, the knee slide padding is good idea tho

vans wayvee feels broken in when you get it. but what do they mean by broken in? broken in not stiff or broken in can kickflip and treflip perfect from the get go, i havent found a single shoe that does that but lakai was pretty close.

I copped a pair of Vans TNT's recently. I think they were the last pair anywhere in size 11 ( the shoe was released 2yrs ago) and I wish Vans would release this shoe again. I have a wide foot and as far comfort, this shoe is perfect for skating... If u come across a pair snatch them up!!!

Been researching wide toe box skate shoes and they really just don't exist. Huge opportunity there. I've heard/read that the Sk8-hi's have the best wide point near the toe so it works decent for people with wide feet, but that's hardly a good solution. I wear Xero Prio's when I'm training and exercising and I fucking love them so much. I wish skate shoe brands, and sport brands in general would just grow the fuck up and design shoes to match the design of our fucking feet.

That's the problem with the inclusivity ideology, it removes the individual from the process and their importance. We live in such a narcissistic culture that people saying that they are doing something overshadows what is actually being done.

@i-never-look-at-replies-lol 2 жыл бұрын

Sponsored males: get a men's shoe model for men Sponsored female: gets a unisex model for everyone out of inclusiveness It's kinda like women still don't get to have a shoe to themselves while the men mostly do Not that I've looked at the footwear in skating as being gender specific; I've always viewed skate shoes as utilitarian & unisex (but I'll admit they're more on the masculine side). That being said, I think they look pretty dope and I would wear those. I'm trying to remember if I ever owned a pair of Vans? They were taboo in my day lol

@@alittlezZzen I believe what he's saying makes sense on the "inclusiveness". We don't see men's shoe's marketed as "inclusive" but when it's a girl you do - not to mention I've seen a lot of men getting huffy and puffy about the idea of a skate shoe being unisex, I think that's something to be looked at. With the growing amount of women skaters, they shouldn't have to adopt the consideration of "men" buying the products. Marketing strategy indeed.

@@ZackDowdy oh right, I kinda missed his point there. There's so many Vans colorways and models that are 100% for girls tho, I think that maybe it was something important to Lizzy to label it as unisex? Idk. She's into stuff like that and tbh I think it's pretty cool, I often look at the colorways for girls and think oh crap I really like that one but it's probably designed for girl's feet and to narrow for me or something..
