- Is the Sk8-Hi good for actual skateboarding?
- Yes. The padded collar, reinforced toe caps and grippy waffle sole are built for skating, and owners report the upper holds up to regular use.
- How does the Sk8-Hi compare with the Old Skool?
- The Sk8-Hi is the high-top version, so it adds ankle coverage and protection. The Old Skool is a lower, lighter shoe with a similar sole and Sidestripe.
- Does the Sk8-Hi run true to size?
- It generally fits true to size, though the stiff upper can feel snug at first. People with wide feet often go up half a size.
- How long does it take to break in?
- Owners commonly report a week or two of wear before the upper softens and the shoe feels comfortable.
- Is the Sk8-Hi good for walking all day?
- It is fine for casual wear, but the flat, thinly cushioned sole makes it less comfortable for long days on your feet than a cushioned sneaker.
- What is the upper made of?
- The Sk8-Hi Classic uses a canvas and suede upper with the Vans Sidestripe and a waffle rubber outsole.
