First made in 1977, the Vans Slip-on gained popularity quickly amongst skateboarding culture. As times progressed Vans has made a fully redesigned shoe to keep up with the needs of skateboarders. Presenting the Vans Skate Slip-On, this shoe is apart of "Vans Skate Classics line" of footwear. These are the most iconic skate shoes created by Vans but revamped to fit the needs of modern day skateboarding. These shoes integrate tongue straps for a snug fit, DURACAP™ underlay for durability, SickStick™ a rubber compound used to make a grippy outsole, and internal heel shanks to deliver more board feel in order to create a classic yet modern skate shoe.

Sole
Vulcanized - “Vulc” shoes are light, flexible and break in quickly. These don't provide as much foot protection as cupsoles, but they are preferred if you’re looking for good board feel in a shoe with less weight and bulk.
Footbed
PopCush™ - Vans' PopCush insoles snap back and won't pack! This proprietary foam compound was meticulously tuned and tested for impact protection, superior cushioning, and custom energy return. This upgraded foam performs better than Vans' UltraCush™ compound for all types of skating so you can skate longer and go harder than ever before.
Details
Duracap™ - Developed and tested to withstand the abuse of the Vans pro skateboarding team; reinforcement is provided through rubber underlays in the toebox and ollie-area for lasting durability to save you time and money.
SickStick™ - Taking inspiration from Vans' beloved original gum rubber formula, the SickStick formula is the grippiest and the stickiest gum sole in Vans history. Extensively tested by Vans' team riders, the formula is uniquely calibrated to deliver enhanced grip and durability, and also make a firm bind to the foxing tape, so you can be in complete control of your board.

Different size than previous Slip On Pros

Vans Skate Slip-On Shoes - black/white
These are Skate Slip-Ons, not Slip-On Pros!! I've had over 20 pairs of slip-on pros and always wore a size 10, but with the skate slip-ons I had to go to a 10.5 or the "tongue" was way too tight on my foot. Other than that, they are still the same, best skate shoes ever.

Vans Skate Slip-On Shoes - black/black
The new ones fit slightly tighter than the old pros but to be fair I have wide feet wearing slip ons, what do you expect, great shoes, the grip is significantly better and they don’t feel as floppy like the older ones 10/10

Vans Skate Slip-On Shoes - black/white
This is the size my husband always wears in vans slip ons BUT he is having trouble breaking these in. He skated regularly and said that the hadn’t noticed a difference in durability even though these were supposed to be more durable. Hoping they will get better because we do love this brand
