Vans Old Skool Reissue CA Vansguard Shoes Birch The Vans Old Skool has been one of the all time most favoured skate shoes for what seems forever & its not hard to see why, with its classic looks, light reinforcement in all the right places, the excellent Waffle sole & the Vans stripe down the side. The uppers are constructed from canvas as they always have been but coated in a Vansguardfinish making it water repellent whilst being breathable. The sole as mentioned is their awesome Waffle sole which will keep your feet glued to your board (also works a treat with pedals). A belting looking skate shoe with a great finish to keep your off whites looking off white for longer.
