| I wish I could give them more than 5 stars because I definitely would. In terms of critiques, the only thing I can complain about is that they're much different from anything I've ever skated, but a few days was all it took to get used to them. The vans waffle grip is amazing, always nice to have that. I've skated these for almost 5 months now, and love them more day by day. They ripped after about 2 1/2 months, and it was only a small hole in the sole, nothing a little shoe goo couldn't handle, and it didn't affect my skating at all. The thinness of them is nice, I personally like thin shoes, and the impact of larger obstacles doesn't bother me too much. I highly suggest picking up a pair of these shoes, they look amazing and skate extremely well, thumbs up to Vans. | |

| They are nice... For a while. I love these shoes, they were great the first few times I wore them. If anyone has bought any other half-cabs you might be in for a shock, however. The shoe feels thinner than the older half-cabs, more bendy... And they aren't made from the same material either. Old half-cabs have that thick cotton stuff, really durable. These on the other hand are all suede and they get dirty REALLY easily, and once they get something on them it WILL NOT come off. Also, dye from my jeans has already begun to turn the back of the shoes dark. Overall they are pretty nice and you should pretty much love them, especially if you’re already into half-cabs. | |

| Definitely a Great Shoe - I've been testing out different skate shoes for a while now and one of my friends recommended the Half-Cab, so I gave it a shot. I was pleased to learn that they needed little break-in time and felt great right out of the box. They are also great shoes for long skate sessions due to their durability and comfort. They could have more arch support but that can easily be remedied w/ an insert. Overall this is one of the most stylish and skate-able shoes I have ever worn. Great job Vans! | |

| Very cool - I got these and the Osiris Keefer - they are both semi high top. The Half Cab looks awesome with dark rinse jeans, as well as any shorts. I got the purple and black so I can start mixing more purple into my vibe. The shoes are comfortable although a little flat, so I might throw an insole in there and loosen up the laces. Beware of water that hits the purple suede. After smoothing out the water mark, I sprayed the whole shoe down with leather water protectant. Hopefully that helps the marking. | |

| Vans Half Cabs: Pros and Cons - The Vans Half Cab is obviously a very classic core shoe from Vans, and its reputation is outrageous. I really do love the style of the shoe, the way it looks, the way it skates, the way it feels. I think the only complaint I have of this shoe is that after awhile of skating in them, the inside of the backside of the shoe starts to wear away...then eventually causing blisters and discomfort. | |

| Red half cabs - Best shoes I've ever owned, for sure. Thick soles that'll slow down a blow out, the mid high tops are great for ankle support, and they look rad. I put some arch support inserts in them, though since they're completely flat footed. Besides that, they're great. Not too thin, but not too padded so I can still feel my board. Delivered next day, can't ask for more. | |

| Vans Half Cab Review - This shoe is pretty much the best shoe any shoe company has ever made. The upper rips kinda fast, but the out sole is very durable on the classics, much better than on the Half Cab Pros. I absolutely love this shoe… it’s the best shoe I've ever skated. You should buy a pair because you won’t be sorry. | |

| Wonderful! Everything about my purchase of these shoes has been fantastic - they look great, they fit perfectly, they're priced right, AND Zappos somehow delivered them to me, with no charge for shipping, less than 24 hours after I placed my order. I've been wearing Vans since the mid 80s, for skating and just for walking around. You really can't get any better. | |

| Amazing - I have been strictly skating in Vans for about a year now and I can safely say that half cabs are the best shoes I have ever had. The grip is phenomenal, the ankle support is a must, and they are very comfortable! Zappos delivered theses shoes in one day, the best service I have ever had!! | |

| These are by far the most comfortable pair of skate shoes that I've bought in a long time, and I'm lovin the classic waffle grip, now I can do a 360 inward heel flip with no problem. :D I'm def. gonna get the same shoe in a different color when these wear out. :) | |

| These shoes are great while they last, however they do not last long AT ALL. I've had mine for about 3 and a half weeks and the bottoms are completely bald, the side walls are peeling off, and the toes are torn to hell. Not worth a lot of money, unless you aren't going to skate in them | |

| Half Cabs Insole Pain - I skated these shoes for only one month, I've only skated for ten. I had to throw in my own insole right away. Vans insoles are horrible for shock absorption. That didn't help enough. If you don't land tricks or ollies down a stair set or ledge, these shoes are HIGHLY unforgiving, causing tons of pain. The sole eventually wore away. I have a hole that goes straight up to the insole, so I'm done. Don't skate normal Half Cabs, skate Half Cab Pros. The pain from skating can get to be a big problem. | |
