This high top version of Gilbert Crockett's second shoe model is equipped with Vans Wafflecup Construction and PopCush cushioning combine to provide a comfortable ride that can help withstand the biggest of impacts in one piece. This shoe is the perfect marriage of classic style, paying homage to legendary Van's shoes of the past, and modern technology focused on board feel and cushioning.

Features
Sole
Cupsole - Durable and shock-absorbing to provide the best impact protection against hard landings. Cupsoles generally last longer than a vulcanized sole but don't provide as much flexibility and board feel right out of the box.
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
Wafflecup™ Construction - A vulcanized cupsole? YES. This revolutionary construction offers skaters the support of a cupsole with the board feel of a vulcanized shoe.
Molded Heel Pocket Insert - Anatomically molded heel cup inserts are shaped to lock heels in place without the need for bulky foam padding.
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.

Vans Crockett Pro High Top Skate Shoes
Wanted to try these out because they look sick for one & also haven’t skated a cupsole shoe in a while. Glad i tried them out cuz imo the soles are perfect & overall the shoes skate really good. The soles a little less bendy than a vulc shoe but didn’t notice while skating except for the fact that they feel way more sturdy & things like primos, landing on rails, etc don’t hurt plus they’re super grippy. The flicks great on these also. My only gripe is the stitching near the eyelets started tearing the first day skating them so the suede kind of comes up from where it was stitched but the laces/other stitching hold it there so not a major problem. But yea overall very comfy & skate great! Oh and if vans sees this make more of the all black ones with white stitching!

Vans Crockett Pro High Top Skate Shoes - grey/blue
Love my Gilbert Crockett lows and my Half Cabs, but the cupsole on these shoes has made my feet very happy. Not as much board feel as the others, but still better than most. But my feet can take a lot more pounding in these.

Vans Crockett Pro High Top Skate Shoes - dark green/black
I bought these as a Christmas gift. I tried them on and very comfy. They're not for me. They're a gift for my partner. He will LOVE them. I'll be back for more. I recommend highly.

Good shoes - had already been skated

Vans Crockett Pro High Top Skate Shoes - forest/black
These are great shoes but they already had some light scuff marks when I opened the package. Looked like someone had done some Ollies while trying on the shoes before I got them. Not a big problem but kind of a bummer.
