BOARDFEEL … That’s right Out of the Box.

Vans’ culture is defined by self expression and shared experiences. Being creative, hanging out with friends, and sharing a life built around skateboarding mean more to us than winning any contest. Skating is cool that way, and it’s what separates us as skaters from traditional sports. We’re a culture in which ambition is manifested in individual progression, not team domination.

Our central pastime is the experience of riding a skateboard. The shoes we wear need to transmit the feel of board and it’s the skater’s most important too. That’s where Vans shoes have the ultimate advantage. For 40 years the waffle sole has kept skaters connected to their boards and ripping.

Most importantly every Vans shoe you see are in stock and ready to ship.

Skate Experience; we don’t need lab tests and robotic feet to decide what makes a good skate shoe. We listen to our skaters. Forty years of testing produced the Vans waffle grip, with performance proven for four generations of skateboarding pioneers. The waffle sole helps you feel the grains of sand in your take and the feel of landing over your truck bolts. That’s precision. That’s the power of progress.

Skaters have always trusted Vans because we’re known for delivering “OUT OF THE BOX” performance and style – no break-in time required with clean, classic looks. We’re always challenging ourselves to improve the products we offer. Introducing BOARDFEEL construction to increase the out of the box benefits. It’s feature on Dustin’s new pro shoe, the DD-66, and Anthony’s debut Vans pro model, the AV Era. The goal was simple- to perfectly mimic the original Vans vulcanized grip and board feel, while improving the support and cushioning by offering an advanced cup sole construction. Through combination lasing, tuned rubber compounds, and thinner cup soles with better cushioning materials, we believe we’re a little closer to skateboarding shoe perfection.

That’s Vans; TIMELESS utility products that will help you skate better and reflect your style. Embrace expression, create and enjoy.
