The Boutique ONLY Vans - Vans Vault vs Regular Vans

The Vault line is Van's premium line of shoes. They use old school styles from over the last 40 years while allegedly improving the quality and in construction and materials. Some of them are true to the old designs and others are a new twist with unique collaborators. There is a lot of hype and speculation about the Vans Vault so i cut them in half to see how they compare to the basic Vans.

makes a video 10:01 long, but doesnt put any midroll ads in, a real people's man

The vault shoes aren't really supposed to be more durable, they're just supposed to be closer to how original vans were made (and looked) . The pros are their more durable shoes.

I see an Adidas box in the background. Can't wait for the review of the Stan Smiths

lmao this dude is just pulling the curtain back on every consumer shoe we have ever purchased. jesus no one is safe our blind consumerism has led us down the path of paying for trash materials and barely upgraded premium models of shoes. keep up the great work!!

I would literally pay money to see a pair of the Defcon Vans cut in half and examined. They are supposedly made with "warrior suede" - some kind of waterproof, oil-resistant, and fire retardant super suede. Plus the highest level of quality control that vans offers. Aside from being complete unobtanium considering they sell out within 10 seconds every time they release a new model, they are really cool styling wise. Some of the sickest footwear on the market as far as I'm concerned. But I've always been curious if any of their claims are legit considering the few pairs I've seen in real life have had some goofy looking imperfections right out of the box.

never had my vans fail like that. They usually fail around toe box where the tape will separate where the foot bends.I heel drag a lot, so even with all the damage the bottom never come off like that.

Ever thought of putting leather jackets to the test?
Would love to see that.

[benjaminmoon]

I just like how the vaults look and feel more and the suede quality is definitely noticeable between the two

I just bought my first vans since I was a youngling. They were on sale and bought them so quick I didn't realize they were some sort of winter vans. Now I have to wait till the fall at least to try them out. They don't have any shiny leather. They have soft plaid cloth where the cheap leather is on the vaults. They're also really thick everywhere. This will definitely be warm for the winter.

footwear designer here, I have a pair of Vans Vault OG Half Cab Lx’s. I haven’t had the outsole start separating from the midsole, although one issue is that the midsole’s outermost tape tends to loosen up over time due to creasing. love this dissection by the way.

i got a pair of chuck 70s cause of u and i love them keep cutting up shit!

[brianeharmonjr]

There are plenty of Vault shops that offer free shipping, and you can offer find heavy discounts on Vault stuff. Love my Vault stuff, and the "Pro" line stuff as well.

I really enjoy your style of video. No techno intro nor flashing lights. Your introverted style is relaxing.

[abelgarcia]

Never owned a pair of the Vault Vans but based on this I’d still opt for the Pro models line of Vans. Those models have the best quality/durability I’ve seen and don’t wear through the heels

Love this channel. You should cut in half some very puffy skate shoes like the DC Lynx OG or an Osiris D3. Those are just a couple of examples, but there are plenty of puffy skate shoes being re-released nowadays.

Another suggestion: I'd love to see a breakdown on the Veja leather sneakers - especially as they brand themselves as being more environmentally sustainable

[mayalambert]

okay i didn’t search for this, but i’m honestly mesmerized

[calamityganon]

Your channel is one of the only things getting me through this quarantine. I've been going to and from work other than that, and the entire time (and then some) I've been wearing a pair of crevo boots. I've actually had them for about 2 years now, and they haven't given me any problems after months of hard wear. For $95, I'd love to see you cut them in half.

[QueenWaspGo]

I've never had a pair of Vans fail at the heel. I always wear mine out at the ball of the foot. Usually the sides split where the foot bends and/or I literally wear a hole through the sole.

[oliviernicolaas]

cut up a pair of bass weejuns! I'm curious about the leather quality at its price point
especially as its a heritage brand that produces their product overseas now
