Nubuck Leather Uppers

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.

UltraCush™ HD Cushioning – Vans' polyurethane-based UltraCush HD footbed keeps the foot close to the board yet won't pack out over time, providing Vans' highest level of impact cushioning.

Pro Vulc Construction – Over 45 years of proven Vans vulcanized natural gum rubber construction performance delivers the ultimate in boardfeel, flex, and traction -- making Vans Pro Skate the undisputed leader for intuitive boardfeel and control.

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.
