These feel so much better than the Sk8-Hi to me. Got the great popcush insoles, a more tapered ankle, and the best ankle support other than maybe the Full Cabs. I've dedicated these to be my current pair to skate in (designate one or two pairs at a time to keep the rest fresh).

One thing to point out tho is that it is a cupsole, not vulcanized. So while there's better support/cushioning, there is noticeably less board feel.

Thought it would be cool to see everybody's Vans they wear to work.

These are my trippy pair, great for a casual day.

When it's hot and I want a breathable beater, nothing beats the wayvee! These have become my go-to shoes for screwing around in the summer.

Log was about 5 feet high, just for reference.

Got this pair on clearance, and they've been my daily drivers for over two years.

(I'll confess I had to google "rainbow vans" to find their name.)

These are available now at the juice store. Doesn't look like they're going to have a wider release.

Some time ago I ordered UA Authentic Wide C 2.0's in Green but via the Customs creator. I love them. They fit my wide feet perfectly. That said green doesn't go with everything. Is there some way to find wide Vans on the regular website or are doing customs the only way to find the 11W I need? If I go to men's shoes they only show 11 and 11.5 in the filter but no wides.

I'm hardly an artist as evidenced by my totally unoriginal green shoe with white trim. It would be nice if I could just browse some awesome looking shoes designed by someone else, but that I know will fit me.

It is not nearly as complete now as it used to be.

Each pair of them cost me 4€ in basically completely new condition. I spent one summer in warehouse which handled Vans along others. At the end they made a finders-keepers kind of race, with unworn returned stock (wrong size, unwanted gift, etc..). My friend walked out with same sized collection. Missed the bus back so we had to walk I think 5+km in heat, each with 10-11 pairs of shoes in a huge plastic bag on our backs.
