Is $44.97 a good price for the Vans Mixxa?

Yes. That is well under what leather cupsole skate shoes usually cost, and it is the best of 7 stores listing it new as of November 5, 2026.

How does the Mixxa compare with the Vans Old Skool?

Both are leather cupsole shoes, but the Mixxa adds a reinforced T-toe and DURACAP underlays aimed at skate durability. The Old Skool is lighter and more of a lifestyle shoe.

Do the Mixxa shoes run true to size?

Vans skate shoes generally fit true to size, and the Mixxa is listed in unisex men's and women's sizing. Try your usual Vans size first.

Are they good for actual skateboarding?

Yes. The cupsole, T-toe cap and DURACAP underlays are built for grip tape wear, and Vans lists skateboarding as the top use.

No. The leather upper sheds a few drops, but the shoe is not waterproof and will soak through in rain.

Our take on the Vans Mixxa Skate Shoes

The Vans Mixxa is a mixed-material skate shoe with a leather upper, color-blocked panels and a cupsole for support. It adds a reinforced T-toe cap and DURACAP underlays for durability in the ollie area. At $44.97 at Icon Boardshop as of November 5, 2026, it sits well below the typical price for a leather cupsole skate shoe.
