Pro tip, I work in the skate/surf industry and have been wearing Vans my whole life. Definitely opt for the Vans “Pro” line! Insole is 100x better and overall construction is improved across the board. Well worth the extra $5-10 bucks. Last me more than 6 months walking around campus and riding a motorcycle versus 2 months in regular Vans. (Less time if you skate often).
Milton Henriquez yeah I’ll still pick up some here and there and they do seem to be a half size difference or so too! Either way can’t go wrong with Vans
I'd just bought regular vans sk8 hi online as there's no services in my country and I got them half the price around 40$. Can you tell me how can I make them last longer and durable?
I loved my pair of Sk8 Hi's, had a pair exactly like that and wore them for years until they were completely worn out. Always liked the look/feel of high top sneakers. Only thing I wish now that I'm looking for a new pair is they made them in a few more non-bright colors (like navy/dark gray) or with the gum rubber. I guess I could always pay the extra $20 for customs but it gets a bit pricey for beat around shoes for me then.
Vans are interesting to me. They were big in the mid to late 90s in the US as I can recall then damn near disappeared. Now you can’t go to a heavy concert without seeing 50% of the kids wearing them.
Seth _ They never go out of fashion. There as classic as it gets. My only beef with them is that they tend to run a tiny bit small (and would be too big if you went up a size), so they have never been the most comfortable shoe because of that. I wear the fuck out of my converse instead, because they aren’t so rigid feeling.
I use the all black "comfy cush" sk8 hi for work. I work at UPS unloading and loading trailers, these have so much support for lifting I'm going to try the pros once these are done.
insole for big toe not good. i skated on this one light skating at a apark for less than an hour and my my big toe got callused never happen to me before on any other shoe and i would skate for hours on them
I’d rather wear comfycush edition that costs just 10 Euro/Dollar/Pound more than the normal edition. My feet hurt when wearing them, but no problems with comfycush. Just the selection of colors is smaller than for the normal models. I miss navy Sk8 hi comfycush.😤😭😩😱😨
If you skate vans every day, especially if they’re not the pro version, they’d wear out after about 3 months. So even if he skates once every few days it would still wear down after a year or two definitely
My daughter has loads of vans, tried to get me to get some. No not really, i am 52. I think there comes an age for someone to not wear things like this anymore, maybe there 30's.
Spoiler alert; I ain't no youngster either, I am probably more interested in clothing and "fashion" now that I ever have been... if it makes you happy wear it!
sean faulkner super awesome! I have 8 pairs of vans, my oldest pair are 9 yrs old. I had some that were older but our puppy chewed the heel off of one of them. I wouldn’t suggest walking down gravel roads in them but around the city their great and I don’t get foot fatigue wearing them
Gah, I didnt say did?!? Well I would say true to size, I take a UK8 and these fit great as a UK8, I might add that this is largely down to a generously wide toe box, my toes are actually a little nearer the tip than would be typical but as the toe box doesn't taper down this is not a problem
@@seanthehaggis Thanks dude. The redbacks look like a solid work boot and the soles look well thought out, not sure if they translate to casual wear but good for the intended purpose. Have you used them?
@@DevonReviewer yup been wearing a pair for two years I do everything in them, soles show no wear, first time treating the leather today, used redwing mink oil as a bit of an experiment
Here in the US, I buy the Pro line. They only cost a bit more and last a longer time than the regular Vans.
I'm guessing it's unintentional, but I'm here for the ASMR. I could listen to you review absolutely anything.
It is unintentional, but others have commented before, an unintended extra!
Yo straight up 😂

Fetu Fetu I beat the shit out of them
Abel Garcia dunno why but I prefer the original over the pros I feel the pros are un comfortable and they run longer

Have you tried the black on black ones?
The new Vans SK8 Hi shoes in all black Gore TeX style are super sick. ❤

I like VANS me too.
I will buy old school & skater high.
I use emerica's sneaker now.
But my best sneaker's VANS.
I think I’m going to have to pick these up next. Especially if I can find them in a sale.
Go to a Van's outlet you can find them for discount prices
I really like these shoes. They have the classic look and I can wear them all day without my back killing me
Beautiful sneakers. 9/10 I can't wait to get mine.
Some ppl say that they have sole issue like it starts separating around your heel after a while
Sweet review. For the Spring time or when I'm not in boots I like to wear the Converse one star in black or in sand color.
You should check out the Anaheim collection
My Vans last for ages

IDK. SK8 Hi shoes always look better with skinny, slim or straight leg jeans. IMO.
If you want vans get some deadstock '03 TNTs
Know anywhere with good deals on deadstock TNT's?
I dunno man. I do not need to watch a review of this shoe but holy fuck he makes it engaging. funny chill guy

Should i buy this true to size? I wear size 8 fro authentic….
i go down a half size for sk8 hi’s, but i’d recommended trying them on in stores just to be safe
😂and 😮dubstep relaxitive
What setup did you get?
Just a basic entry level set up, Toy Machine deck and wheels but everything else generic.
Are they thick at the bottom??
bruh what are you doing to you're shoes to get them in that bad shape in just a year?
B-Dubs skating maybe
Joey Brown For real though, I've had boots and shoes for like 3 to 5 years that look not as worn as his. I don't even clean mine as often as I should
If you skate vans every day, especially if they’re not the pro version, they’d wear out after about 3 months. So even if he skates once every few days it would still wear down after a year or two definitely
Mhyte The Guy
I don’t get the feeling about this guy is a skater though.
Nice mate

Andy Uk im 53, I've been wearing Vans and Doc since I was 14. Why does it matter how old one is to wear these great sneakers?
I’m almost 40 and still wear docs sometimes. A classic doesn’t die.
Spoiler alert; I ain't no youngster either, I am probably more interested in clothing and "fashion" now that I ever have been... if it makes you happy wear it!
What's the fit like though?
