Arguably the most beloved skate shoe of all time (if you really have time or energy to argue about skate shoes), the Vans Half Cab Skateboard Shoe has been going strong for nearly 30 years. When skaters started cutting the tops off their Steve Caballero signature shoes in order to get a little more mobility, Vans took note and created this midtop version. The result continues to be a hit with skaters worldwide.
