Is the Sk8-Hi good for skateboarding?

Yes. The vulcanized waffle sole and padded high collar are built for skating, and the suede panels resist wear from grip tape.

How does the Sk8-Hi compare with the Old Skool?

The Sk8-Hi is a high-top with a padded collar and more ankle coverage. The Old Skool is a lower, lighter shoe with a similar sole.

Most wearers take their usual Vans size. Some with wider feet go up half a size for more room.

Expect a few days to a couple of weeks. The canvas softens with wear, and the padded collar eases in.

The Sk8-Hi uses a suede and canvas upper with a lace-up closure and a rubber waffle outsole.
