Vans Skate Half Cab Shoes. A vulcanized shoe made with classic suede and canvas uppers, the Skate Half Cab gives you the iconic look you want while bringing all the performance benefits skateboarders demand. DURACAP™ reinforced materials, deeper knurl texture on the toe bumpers, and higher sidewall heights provide a heritage look with increased durability and protection. Fully redesigned uppers - Reconstructed with a molded heel counter and internal tongue straps for a locked-in fit and more board control. Vans' proprietary SickStick™ gum rubber compound is our stickiest rubber yet. PopCush™ energy return footbeds protect your feet while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions. A mix of suede, 10 oz canvas, and 6 oz canvas has been used at the upper, maintaining the aesthetic of the original Half Cab. Imported.
