junkyrunnindry Posts : 80 ONLINE	Posted on Nov 11, 2006 people tell me that Vans are like the ultimate skate shoe, and i really like them, but every pair i get seems to get torn up really easily and quickly while skating? is this just me, or should i try another shoe?

Adam Posts : 156 OFFLINE	Posted on Nov 12, 2006 I think all shoes will wear down quickly is you skate alot. A pair of shoes ussually last me about a month when I am skating alot.

atticuszebra Posts : 30 OFFLINE	Posted on May 05, 2007 Does it depend if they're actually skate shoes or slip-ons? I don't think Vans slip-ons would last very long.

thugskater Posts : 8 OFFLINE	Posted on Sep 09, 2007 vans is the only thing i will wear. it is the best and they've had the most experience and all the other shoes are made for "lightness" and "super absorbant comfort" and shit like that. vans works. if they're not lasting for you, its just that some pairs of vans go faster thn others do. they have shitloads of styles and they all have different material.

KhaosSteez Posts : 4 ONLINE	Posted on Oct 16, 2007 Yah bro, seriously Vans aren't my style at all, if you were out shopping for a skate shoe that you wanted to last for at least a couple of years, i would definatly say, try some DVS, or some DC. Those are shows I skate in, and always will skate in they last for awhile, plus some are just stylish. Haha, but yah, Vans aren't my thing, but hey thats my opinion.
