Vans Men's Chukka Low

The design of the sole makes it great for board feel, so it's great for skating ledges, flatground, and more technical tricks, but it's not very cushioned around the heel, don't jump down Andrew Reynolds style drops or you'll be hobbling for days. The thin tread also contributes to a short shoe life, but the price is low enough that it's not too big of a deal. The leather on the front toe of the shoe is fairly sturdy however, so you're not going to be sporting your toe outside of the shoe. The higher laces are a great design to help prevent lace damage. Also the cushioning around the ankle is great for people who have grandpa joints. All that mixed with the classic style make for a great shoe.

You can't go wrong with these shoes. Great feel, great fit, and they just look sick. True to size as I have 13's and they fit great. Kind of thin on the top part of the toe, but that is the only thing that I can complain about. Had the same pair for about 2 years now and the bottom sole is holding up great still and all the seams are staying together still. I haven't skated in these much, not a fan of the way they feel on my board, so this adds the how long they have lasted.

I love the chukka. After on and off skating for over 10 years, this is my favorite shoe all time. I've had at least 6-7 pairs of them. The grip / feel is unmatchable imo. The side panels will rip early (the canvas part), but there is a more durable material behind it, so they'll keep skating great for a while afterward. I usually burn through the soles before I completely tear through anywhere else. Size wise, I wear 9.5 in all vans vulks, including these

Ok the sides are canvas.. but the toe section is suede and thats close enough for me. (I bought the blue ones)
Shoes are comfortable. Haven't worn them while skating but they are nice everyday shoes to wear around.
Being semi-canvas shoes they run a tad bit larger than normal but there is some cushioning/insulation and they can be tightened up pretty snug.
Overall a good shoe and worth the money especially if you get them on sale.

Amazingly stylish and even more comfortable. Wear to the beach then out on a date later that night. Super versatile. Only reason its 4 *s is bc they wear out after a while. Wore mine at least 5 days a week for a year and they have been retired due to the sides ripping out and holes in the heels. Nevertheless, amazing shoe. Great buy.

Picked these up quite a while ago and they're still comfortable as ever. Left shoe came a little warped from shipping but after a few days of use they fit just fine. Pretty legit for skating but the sole (with most vans) will ware out pretty quickly on the long board.

I purchased these shoes 7 months ago and have worn them everywhere. Not much support for the arches if you plan on running in them, but that's not what they are meant for. All in all I have loved these shoes and am about to order myself a second pair.

I've never owned a pair of Vans and always wanted this style. Bought the Grey on Grey ones and could not be happier with my decision. So stylish, so comfortable and quality is top notch. Definitely getting another pair in different colors someday soon.
