The Vans Skate Authentic Shoes are a classic updated for enhanced performance. UltraCush HD sockliners provide clutch impact cushioning and great deck feel. The Authentic Shoes are topped with the Original Waffle Outsoles for lasting grip and unrivaled durability.
Vans Original Waffle Outsole – Back in '66, Paul Van Doren made the first soles of his new shoes twice as thick so they would wear longer and, unlike other shoe manufacturers, he used pure crepe rubber with no filler. That decision ended up defining Vans' legacy when the world's first skateboarders discovered how Vans' now legendary Original Waffle outsole gum rubber compound provided superior board control and let them feel their board while staying firmly connected to it.
Canvas / Suede Uppers
DURACAP™ Reinforcement – The added DURACAP reinforcement rubber underlays in high-wear areas are engineered to withstand the utmost abuse of the Vans Pro Skate team, and by providing unrivaled durability, save everyday skaters time and money.
Pro VULC Lite Construction – For intuitive control, 50 years of proven Vans professional vulcanized natural gum rubber outsole constructions deliver the ultimate in board feel, flex and traction.
