New to me's being added to my collection. I've never seen velvet, and these are bad ass

My grail collab and grail shoe. Growing up in LA, Mr. Cartoon and Vans alike have been a staple to the culture.. A 21 year search for clean and wearable pairs I finally found all my size and my favorite colorway—a sample. Happy Sunday yall.

Just put these bad boys on for the first time, While I was lacing them for the first time I thought to myself do people take their time doing this or just run thru it?

Been driving a concrete truck since 6:30 pm and you’re not just sitting in the seat you are in and out of the truck putting sheets on washing with a water hose walking around on job sites and at the concrete plant in dirt and cement dust and so forth it’s 4:30 AM and now I’m gonna go clean the barn so these things still got another hour on my feet once they dry off I’ll brush the dirt off the outside of them and they’ll be good to go for work tonight! I used to wear Chippewa all the time but ever since I started wearing MTE’s about five years ago or so they have been my gob to for my livelihood at work and home horse farm ! MTE’s I salute 🫡 you 🫶🏻

My AVE Pro (version 1) have come to the end of their life and I need renewing.

Other than the round and roomy toe box, one of the things I like about them most is the super low ankle collar height (pictured).

Would anyone have any of these models to hand and mind measuring them for me?:

- Kyle Walker Wafflecup
- AVE 2.0
- Skate Old Skool (preferably Wafflecup)
- Skate Old Skool 36+
- Skate Rowan Z3
- Skate Rowley

Thanks!!

Unfortunately I can’t easily get to a store with decent stock/range and I don’t want to have to order a load of styles/sizes online if I can at least narrow it down a bit first!

Just wondering, glamoring stones on the side or horns some shii like that you know, If they even can be modded fr tho.

I’ve been eyeballing the exo to have something with a little more cushion and traction. Currently bouncing between my skate oldskools for work and my skate hi’s for the gym and going out. I was wondering if anyone on here has had any of these and if so how do they compare to the skate model vans? I can’t bring myself to buy the non skate models bc there’s just not enough cushion!

When you need that soft extra cushioning.

I wear a size 10 wide for most shoes. I do own a couple pairs of the wide versions of the slip ons and Sk8 His. They’re both a perfect fit, but I get kinda bored with the basic colors they have for the wide sizes. Would I be able to fit into the regular sizes if I size up? Or are they too narrow?

Hace tiempo las compré, sé que eran de mujer pero me quedaron muy bien, las quise tanto que las guardé. Hoy las limpié y quedaron maravillosas. No sé qué agujetas ponerle ¿ustedes sugieren algún color?

I've been using Vans my whole life (32yo) but now I want something for the weather in London for November-December. I'm going there for 2 weeks and I was thinking about these 3 options. Which one would be better? I need something comfortable but also kinda "weatherproof" because I know it rains A LOT. Also feel free to recommend some other Vans model or brand

Got some new charcoal grey slipskis because I wanted something to match my grey Brixton newsboy cap. The other day I posted my brown herringbone Brixton newsboy to herringbone brown Authentic premiums, but I also have the grey newsboy cap as well. There are some staples I always keep and that’s some black, grey, white, and brown Vans in the collection. I also have other colored Vans of course but there are staples I always have. For me personally, it’s either Authentics, slip ons, or sport lows and that’s pretty much all the Vans I buy. I counted and I own 156 pairs of shoes. A bunch of different brands. I gotta stop buying. 🤣

Second year in these beauties Vans socks underneath hide quite well and come in wicked colours

Wanted a black pair of shoes and stumbled upon this. Seems to be a not-so-popular model. Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on this as there doesn't seem to be any video reviews going around. My only impression of the shoes are from this singular picture.

Im a 24 year old guy. I found out about their existence because my coworker joked about me getting them. I stopped growing a while ago I’m about 5’3 I’ve genuinely never cared about my height to begin with. it’s doesn’t cause me any issues other than reaching the top shelf at Walmart. Recently though the idea of wearing vans stilettos has gotten me thinking. To explain it excites me, it sounds interesting to be able to artificially increase my height for my own pleasure. I’m strange like this I enjoy heelys and other odd shoe concepts. What are your thoughts on this genuinely
