- Is the Vans Rave Plaid good for skateboarding?
- Yes. It uses Vans' vulcanized rubber sole with waffle tread, which gives good board feel and grip. The textile upper is less abrasion-resistant than suede, so heavy skaters may wear through it faster.
- How does it compare with the Vans Old Skool?
- Both share a low-top vulcanized build and padded collar. The Rave Plaid has a plaid textile upper instead of the Old Skool's suede-and-canvas mix, so it is lighter and less durable but more distinctive.
- Does the plaid upper hold up in wet weather?
- No. The textile upper absorbs water and offers little protection in rain. Leather or suede Vans models handle wet conditions better.
- What sizes does it come in?
- This listing is for a US size 4.5. Check the buy box for the sizes in stock now.
