i have rowan pro and that shoes is a piece of art, a masterpiece of vans

[@l.j.i]

So many youtubers have commented that it's ugly but I got them in blue and white and I don't think they are ugly at all!! One of the nicer looking Vans, if anything! Plus they skate perfectly!

[@Gnurklesquimp]

Half Cabs are definitely the comfiest for me too, basically any of the low models give me blisters until I've kneaded the stiffness out of them, but these feel perfect from day 1. Maybe my favorite look too, and one of the few sneakers from any brand I'll take when I'm on my feet for a long time.

[@ryangeorge6364]

Anyone else pumped for this vid

[@georgepooploslovesme9227]

Good video matt

[@TJV650]

Dope . Agreed with everything except I think the slip on pro deserves a legendary spot for honesty being the only slip on in the game that is legit considered a really good skate shoe imo.

[@MattDiGi]

all personal preference

[@quarter_cab]

The Emerica Wino G6 slip on is just a bit better, more ankle support/protection, and a rubber ollie patch for durability.

[@TJV650]

@@quarter_cab rubber Ollie patches look terrible imo. Just an eye sore. And emericas are infamously made with cheap glues and stitching, last pair I skated was the spanky cupsole slip ons and they fell apart within 2 weeks. Vans slips will last me a good solid 2 months.

[@anhiirr]

i second the wino g6 got some for 20$ orange color way. I scoop deals like this ASAP for pure shoes ill keep in the trunk to skate. G6 really keeps your foot from sliding and you can really pop tricks i tried the slip on pros but they didnt pass the try on/wear test for mee to tight around the toe area and my heel would shift. its all personal preference i cant even wear the CHER slip ons bc the insoles are soo big my feet are too fat to wear the shoe and my achillies snags on the collar if i take the insoles out. And i own those

[@peruperu-jj8zs]

Emerica G6 slipons are better. You should give them a try.

[@E_man2002]

Thnx for this video. Im planning on buying The vans Old schools...it's honestly looks good even in the newer era of shoes

Never seen something at a skatepark like 0:38 that’s sick

[@MattDiGi]

😂

[@davidsalsberry5748]

It’s a love hate thing with the rowans for me. They take so long to break through the suede or the bottom of the soles, so long that you continue to skate them even after all the foot support has gone soggy/flat and then your feet end up with hella heel bruises and arch strains 😂😂

[@MattDiGi]

facts 🤣

[@chriskunce3331]

I haven’t skated them yet, but my Grosso mids feel slightly narrower than my new pair of Rowan’s. My old Rowan’s broke in nicely so I’m hoping the mids will too. Keep in mind I have US 13 wide feet so...

[@m.f.a.r2675]

I agree almost totally. You should try the BMX versions. I skate, and ride BMX, and the durability, plus the board/pedal feel is killer

[@l.j.i]

Do you wear the BMX versions for skating, too? Managed to find a pair of sk8-hi's at value village for $10 (but they are the BMX version) and I don't know if they will get trashed completely when I skate them, and I don't BMX anymore.

[@m.f.a.r2675]

@@l.j.i they are almost exactly the same, except the BMX has a little better sole, and a guard for tailwhips, like an Ollie pad, on the inside. Other than that they will sk8

Skating the exact same Rowans as you and got to say definitely the best vans I’ve ever skated

[@landonkane1795]

Yes

[@johncoleman7308]

Kyle 2 is legendary. It has a thinner insole than the first one but still plenty of impact support. I love the strap because I’m a lace breaker. Also there is none of that thick padding in the tongue so the shoe is slimmer but they kept padding in the collar to protect your ankles from heelflips. Currently my favorite shoe.

[@zekecampos2576]

Does it last long

[@johncoleman7308]

@@zekecampos2576 decently long. I skated them until I wore through the soles, just keeping shoe goo on my flick/Ollie spots on the upper. The Berle Pro lasts longer but it’s less comfortable (stitched in insole that’s super thin) and the grip on the sole is a weird pattern that collects every pebble you step on. KW2 still my favorite shoe

[@PHeMoX]

The Kyle Walker Pro 2 aren't.... amazing. I'd also say the first ones _are_ actually better, also in terms of durability actually. They're less the exact same shoe as the Pro 2 as you'd think or expect. Do consider me slightly skeptical about Vans skate shoes in general though, they're a bit too thin for my preference. But I do think in terms of flick and board feel the Kyle Walker Pro 2 is definitely 'solid'. Maybe some people will be fine with how it'll likely only lasts like 3 to 4 weeks of skating, but that's kind of my issue with Vans too. Not durable enough for my wallet lol.

[@BlackMarketHoney]

Great list man. I agree that KW Pro 2 look like grandpa's slippers, but in the nice colour way, they can look sick. I have all black with a white stripe. I love them and have had 3 pairs. I also put Chima Pro 2, Rowan Pro and Sk8 hi Pro at Legendary status. No question! I like how Half Cabs look, but I find them too heavy and front part of the sole always feels too thick under my foot.

[@miwob]

Just got the chimas 2 pro, thanks for the reviev

[@ch33secake81]

Nice I really needed this vid but what do u think of vans doheny’s?? Are the gud for skating street?

[@anhiirr]

at the top of vans mountain sits the vans cardiel sk8-mid pro leather. I always thought they were weird, never even knew they were cardiel's. Saw some on sale blowing time on a family trip insane how comfortable they were, and even more insane how they skated. Best bs360s and nollie half cabs and cabs i ever had with them, havent skated sk8-mid pros since. I just might have to try the grosso black sk8-mids. I havent even skated true half-cabs in my life, or full-cabs. so i really am missing out. I got some suede chukkas at a 2nd hand shop way back for 10$ they skate pretty good too but i dont want to blast through them. They even fit better than the AWS and bart simpson chukka pros. I even skated the versa back in the day which reminded me of the emerica transist templetons. Those were nice before time set into the soles/rubber but they were very durable before the soles got blown out. The templetons pinched my feet/toe joints too narrow so i traded them to a friend.

[@bos5isspoopus62]

i got rowans and i love them my next shoe will probably be the half cabs, cant wait

[@forevergnarlygaming3943]

I just picked up some grosso's definitely recommend them!

[@diplenski]

i used to really like their cup soles in the mid '90s. the wafflecups are super nice

[@CoDnChill]

For outer sole or the bottom, i normally squeeze and spread the shoe goo inside it and it will last me two more weeks lol

[@desoften]

when i was still breaking in my half cabs i would only get blisters on the sides of my feet

[@wellsaidgoodheadfred9843]

I haven't tried many vans, but I do love the half cabs and have skated those. I got a pair of Lizzie's since they're sold as Unisex and I got them for a good price, and at first I didn't like them, but after making the toecap a little bigger by stuffing tuna cans in the front of the shoe for a couple days, and wearing them and breaking them in, and figuring out a way to make so I can put them on easier, I'm starting to really think they're a decent shoe.
