In true DIY spirit, skaters created the original Half Cab in the early '90s. They stripped down the cushioning of the Vans high top Caballero to better suit their needs and push the boundaries of progression and creative expression.

With nothing but scissors and tape, they unknowingly created a timeless skate shoe icon. This model embodies entire generations of skaters who grew up with the classic Vans Half Cabs and have had a significant impact on skateboarding.

Vans Skate Half Cab - classic meets modern

Even more than 30 years after its creation, the Vans Half Cab is still one of the most reliable and well-known shoes in skateboarding. Re-adapted for modern skateboarding, the Vans Skate Half Cab is loaded with performance-oriented features without changing the silhouette that defined a generation of skating.

The Skate Half Cab features a suede upper. Underneath is the proven Vans Duracap toe cap to ensure long-lasting durability and decrease wear and tear. The raised rubber outsole provides better control and feel for the board. The newly designed sole has been equipped with the SickStick rubber compound, which was developed for more grip, flexibility and maximum durability.

Paired with the PopCush insoles, the Skate Half Cab offers the best cushioning and impact protection. The PopCush insoles also help reduce foot fatigue during long skate sessions. The reinforced heel cap and tongue straps result in an improved fit for the Vans Skate Half Cab, which you can buy online in the skatedeluxe skate shop. The Skate Half Cab has the old-school look you want with the performance benefits that modern skaters demand.
