Sole

Vulcanized - Vulc shoes are light, flexible and break in quickly. These don't provide as much foot protection as cupsoles, but they are preferred if youre looking for good board feel in a shoe with less weight and bulk.

Footbed

PopCush - Vans' PopCush insoles snap back and won't pack! This proprietary foam compound was meticulously tuned and tested for impact protection, superior cushioning, and custom energy return. This upgraded foam performs better than Vans' UltraCush compound for all types of skating so you can skate longer and go harder than ever before.

Details

Original Waffle Outsole - Made with soles twice as thick so they would wear longer, this original formula combines durability with flexy board-feel to keep all the Vans' fans happy.

Duracap - Developed and tested to withstand the abuse of the Vans pro skateboarding team; reinforcement is provided through rubber underlays in the toebox and ollie-area for lasting durability to save you time and money.
