Don't Buy VANS Skateboard Shoes (VANS OLD SKOOL)

[@ZackDowdy]

What skate shoes do you think I should try next?

[@slimshady5130]

Try some lakai shoes

[@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158]

Osiris D3 X) just kidding. I always go for the cheapest black one that I can find.

[@whatmemories3728]

Try out those new Last resort AB shoes!

[@GoosePotato27]

Chuck Taylor's.

[@aaronoliver2235]

Have you tried Cariuma?

[@osmar2580]

Can’t believe that’s how your shoes look after 2 months. Especially vans. I would save a fortune skatin just transition

[@skulldrawer666]

Adidas and Emerica have been the most consistent brands for me across multiple shoes. Looking forward to more of the Tyshawn low colors being released

[@leredditcommander8208]

Next video "GUYS I FOUND THE PERFECT SHOES!" proceeds to show the raycon of shoes, the ones with the arrow that are paying every jootuber to promote them.

[@18JR78]

Cariuma*

[@hunterbates9539]

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!

[@chicogreene1823]

I think you should swap the place your buddy’s board (the white one) with the new one you got so they both pop off the wall more

[@TeddCookerly]

YES, ADORED skateboards look like so much fun to skate! Corey is the best!

[@tylerstewartmedia]

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.)

[@trevorearls5424]

Emerica forever.

[@shavedClonazepam]

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.

[@crazycarlsadventures5983]

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

[@peterthompsoncomedy]

The answer is a Blazer SB ;)

[@benitofranklyn4237]

The Skate version of the Vans Sk8 Hi and Old Skool are by far the best/most comfortable/most durable skate shoes out right now imo. Anywhere the have my size on sale I always buy them all up.

[@goobah1389]

Ive had my Hi’s since they dropped them and they’re still going… amazing shoe. I want to try the Crockett hi’s tho.

[@32srt32]

the new sick grip does grip better than before.

[@RideBonesSwiss]

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!

[@skarceoneafd9609]

Got the lampin reissues and half cabs and they last way longer and feel similar to a cup sole, just took a few sessions to get used to the added stickiness

[@edwarddelacruz3923]

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.

[@88baldur1]

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.

[@daltontooley3302]

classic old skool and the old skool pro the way to go 🙌🏼 constantly going up in price but they're simply the best

[@brainrottedindividual]

this is the new old skool pro. they cut the pro line, redid the shoes and now call em skate old skool, skate sk8-hi(that name is so dumb) and skate half cab. personally i like classic/normal old skools the most. no idea why.

[@rydenhaze10]

3 years later but I find the skate classics last longer than the vans pro’s when they were out, the sole and duracap lasted me way longer

[@camelo1495]

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

[@forrestrichard8133]

Love Vans. All the improvements theyve made recently have massively improved the skate shoes as well.

[@chipbirdiestone8815]

that board needs a white wall its lost on the dark paint.... just my opinion.

[@P-Atonement]

White wall behind the board fo sho

[@poulsentyler]

House tour would be dope! Always keep shit symmetrical with decor! (In my opinion) and I was thinking, do you feel that there are shoes built better for transition skating vs street skating?

[@tysondougherty1521]

I bought the Vans Kyle Walker 2's a few months ago, they're the most durable Vans I've had but they're velcro and not lace up so you can't tighten them as much. Still a lot better than the normal lace up vans

[@ZackDowdy]

I've wanted to try the velcro option

[@jeffheyer7783]

Your music choices are always the best too

[@pablocolmeneromartinez2140]

Lakai atlantic, those are some nice shoes

[@LUZ-zv6pq]

I'm still going through the Cambridge colorways but I do like the Bristol in Charcoal.. maybe next 🤔

[@thegreyhoundnyc]

2. Months.....come on dude.

[@blackLodgeskateboards]

I have been loving my Straye Vinice hi tops.

[@paulopaixao9648]

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.

[@zack203ct]

my go to is the Emerica Romero's. they're definitely not the longest lasting shoe, but they just work perfectly for me.

[@Jacorpes]

I want to know what you think of the Last Resorts! They took me a little while to get used to but now they’re my favourite shoe and I can’t imagine skating anything else. Just a perfect, simple vulc shoe that keeps it’s shape.

[@handingloveif]

I'd put it on a white wall for the contrast..

[@goldleader6169]

Half Cabs are the superior skate shoe in literally every way, Rowan Pro's are legit also.

[@transferz]

The AVE’s and the Kyle Walker slip-ons have been the best vans I have ever skated. IDK if i would have put out 80-90 to try them. They are good and COMFY!!

[@badsn]

Just got the Ave in sale last week since I can't get my beloved Kyle walker 1 in any decent color anymore. I was surprised how snug they fit even compared to the already super snug Kyle walkers.

[@manmadeartists]

I love the adidas matchbreaks. They are so durable as I experienced and have a nice cushion and you have a good board feel in them after breaking them in.

[@P-Atonement]

I bought a pair of Vans Ave Pro Ltd x F’cking Awesome. After 2 weeks of not heavy wearing, they are coming apart at the seams ( literally ). I paid $112.00 and wouldn’t recommend them obviously. I have a ton of vans and I do see a fall off in durability of the newer models. That sucks

[@ZackDowdy]

Sorry to hear that :(

[@tannerl3363]

I’ve been digging new balance recently

[@TheTwistedPuppeteer]

Bro, shoes wear out. I'm sorry but ya gotta realize shoes aren't made to last forever

[@austin_316]

I've had over 10 pairs of Vans since 2012, and they never last a year. Within 6 months I always end up getting a hole on the sole under the heel. Very difficult to find a good shoe nowadays.

[@wurm6635]

I just switched to Lakai. I really like them. Vans (and other things) gave me plantar fasciitis.. Nike SB Chrons impact support is awesome too but there are better companies to support before nike imo.

[@EthanAllen76]

Bought New Cab Pros and they ripped in the back the first day.

[@ZackDowdy]

NOOO!! Sorry to hear that

[@edwardcarreon3144]

Same with me, and not even skating, the canvas broke when I slipped my foot in. On both shoes

[@volairefides]

Try Nike Shane O’Niels, anytime I get tired of vans I switch back to my Shane’s and they always improve my skating ✅

[@MarkPuke13]

Try some Fallen footwear next

[@the_beard_nerd3667]

Awesome to see Adored getting love. Corey is the man and Adored is my jam.

[@jonathanmachado8506]

What?! Only 2 months? 💀💀 that in my opinion is normal. But everyone skates different and skate different obstacles. The waffle was made deeper not durable or stronger.

[@roybatty4578]

I like my Era skate series shoes, but I don't really do flip tricks so I'm sure other shoes are better. The waffle grip keeps me coming back

[@Emery101]

Makes me miss those tough acting Reebok dgks, survived many caspers

[@prestonbushman4790]

On the website they seemed to be 5 bucks more, but that’s just from what I noticed

[@32srt32]

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.

[@Aaronwawra]

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 👍🏻

[@AdrianEban]

If you ever try out the newer half cabs, would love to see your thoughts on em!

[@ZackDowdy]

I want to try those!! Will do.

[@asiareeves154]

Please try footprint shoes. I think they’re the best I’ve tried so far and I have very wide flat feet it’s hard to find a comfy shoe

[@ZackDowdy]

I really like those, I also found the Remind insoles pretty nice.

[@hungryveganwanderer9063]

What is the best shoe for knee slides?

[@James_cowley]

I’m still in sk8 hi-pros…. Have you tried the new “skate” sk8-hi?

[@ZackDowdy]

I had them!! I thought they held up pretty good.

[@dididee1057]

my vans os classic is crack on lining heel, for 1st time use. is it original or normal?😔

[@druciferdoesdjent5671]

Zack what black and white decks are those on the wall of your bedroom ?? they are awesome...please tell me lol

[@Feelgoodboardinghub]

I feel good with my Van sold school pro but in less then 2 months the sole has almost gone!

[@Ooooooop314]

You should get Last resorts they have a Nike sb blazer look but thin like cons and light and grippy like vans good shoe! I have last resorts high top I have no regrets in these shoes 👟

[@aaronoliver2235]

I ripped the checker flag off of mine yesterday. Sad day.

[@Datboydayung1]

What kind of shirt is that in the beginning

[@eelisholopainen4501]

Try ES they are so comfy with bad boardfeel :D

[@memeu]

My next shoes will be Lakai Telford

[@wurm6635]

I got the griffin gass earlier this week and highly recommend.

[@rxbunkiey]

Those look brand new to me lmao. All my shoes are trashed in less than a month

[@ZackDowdy]

Ya they held up solid! As for the cosmetics.

[@opat7728]

Try some Fallen shoes. They got a wide variety of styles

[@TrevFlips]

Gj zack! Much love buddy mash 👊

[@voz5585]

Nice intro vibe

[@deprivedfashionista8092]

Does anyone here know if the vans slip on pro blackout skate well?

[@beowulf2146]

I need to knw wat kinda pants those are they look sick

[@brendonmasters]

Check out rose anvil he cuts footwear in half to see what they're constituted of...very revealing

[@MrJabbawockeekid2]

An og in the socal skate scene that skated contests with the bones brigade dudes and another that dated his daughter told me some fucked up shit about steve cab never buying vans just cause that

[@luisbarvalopez]

I just got some vans berle pro, lets see how it goes!

[@scaryperryx1050]

Why kids, OF ALL AGES... SKATEBOARD with low top Tennis 👟 Shoes??? You NEED HIGH TOPS!!!

[@stevefrink4842]

That is the skate version ($70) and not the poser version ($60) right? Vans do make street shoes to look just like skate shoes.

[@davidstokes3281]

Have you tried the kalis vulcs from dc?

[@parkershay2364]

i had these shoes and they gave me horrible blisters

[@ZackDowdy]

Ahhh!! That's the worst thing.

[@Nootlest]

Do you think rowan pros are too bulky?

[@ZackDowdy]

No, I love mine!

[@franciscoramirez9867]

Lakai carroll, new balance 306 foy

[@randalllynch7685]

Try kalis vulc or the lite and stevie slim yo good shoes

[@Keyisundermat]

I been skating pumas skate vulc Tough aZZ SHOES

[@ClipXpress]

VANS ROWANS ARE THEIR BEST AND LONGEST LASTING SHOE!!!!!!

[@randalllynch7685]

Or for vans halfcabs or rowley pro

[@sashapopove172]

Shoes are very personal… I dont like a structured shoe or anything to stiff, but it has to fit like a glove. For me, canvas hi-tops is where its at! I wear Vision street wear, (the shoe of my youth). I love the fit, and the rubber build up on the sides for durability that the chucks don’t have.

[@davetbassbos]

I just get the Vans classic ERAs because they never change the design, they wear out but they feel great and are only $50!

[@masonwolf9355]

Happy birthday ruby

[@Keyisundermat]

Extra front thicknesses

[@jeffheyer7783]

Shocked you only have 50000 subs

[@sanderfink4365]

Tryout Okai; the pair I got had a pretty thick sole that lasted a while.

[@unity__3829]

Yeah the ones that are meant for skating have a thinker sale and outside thing

[@ZackDowdy]

Never heard of those, I'll check em out!

[@marcustidholm6775]

Try Last Resort AB

[@kalebj405]

K walk pro 2! Best shoes ever

[@DeadFlorist55]

The new Vans have super Slippy Awful Grip on a Board, I’ve tried a few pairs of the new ones and they’re all like this, they look nice but they’re super wack , it Sucks

[@matejhlubucek7228]

Try Vans halfcabs

[@18JR78]

I’m not really into skateboarding.

[@32srt32]

Skate that shit! I only hNg limited edition boards.

[@DanielDixon06]

Cariuma Catiba or Adidas Tyshawn shoe

[@jSonTX]

Half cabs def aren't the same these days. Disappointing

[@sk8fm448]

Emerica 💪

[@boogiegreen6786]

To me all these flat Vans shoes are ugly :(

[@EDagger]

The title is a little misleading.

[@hashimihashim837]
