How does the Sk8-Hi Tapered differ from the classic Sk8-Hi?

The Tapered version has a slimmer, narrower shape through the upper and toe. It keeps the high-top collar, lacing and waffle sole of the original.

Does the Sk8-Hi Tapered fit true to size?

Most buyers take their usual Vans size. The tapered cut runs narrow, so wide-footed shoppers often size up half a size.

What is the upper made of?

Canvas and genuine suede, with a rubber waffle outsole. The suede panels scuff, so spot clean rather than machine wash.

Is this a men's or women's shoe?

It is unisex. This listing is a men's size 8, which equals about a women's 9.5, in medium width.

Is the Sk8-Hi Tapered good for skating?

The waffle outsole grips grip tape and the padded collar shields the ankle, but the flat sole and canvas panels give less impact cushioning than a dedicated skate shoe.

What sizes does the Sk8-Hi Tapered come in?

It runs across adult sizes from about US 2 to US 16, including half sizes, in medium width.
