Back in the 60s and 70s I was good friends with the Van Doren family and still keep in touch with some of them. The shoe company was started with the idea that you could go into a Vans store anywhere in LA and Orange Counties region of SoCal and be appropriately fitted for a style you were interested in. If they didn't have it they would make it overnight and deliver it back to the store nearest you and you could pick it up at no extra charge. On some occasions I would help delivery shoes in the middle of the night for orders placed earlier in the day. The shoes at that time were considered budget custom why Spicoli was wearing the checkerboard pattern.

Initially I didn't know whether or not I was for these cut in half videos but I've come to realise that this is actually extremely helpful in seeing what's good and bad in shoes and what to look for, as well as what brands or models to avoid.Great video !

The cutting and ripping sounds are so satisfying despite you tearing apart all of my favorite shoes 😩😂 congrats on the sponsorship!

Would love to see a similar teardown for the Converse Chuck Taylor vs the Chuck 70 (aka the normal vs the premium)

[saidfilfil]

i really want to see how you tear apart a pair of air force 1’s!

The failure in the heel happens LOONNGG after the olie pad and toe area wears out when actually using these as skate shoes. This happens to all skate shoes and it just means time for a new pair, it wouldn't make sense to design a skate shoe that long outlives its olie pad.

Don't overproduce your videos! A huge part of the draw is the casual realness you have, including your backgrounds/surroundings. :D

Working for vans, you’ve got to love when people ask for the “old Skool vans” like in your title. Old skool vans are actually the name of a style, but people across the board call vans in all different styles “old skools”

They actually started off as boating shoes that skateboarders adapted. Love your videos Rose Anvil, keep up the great work!

Great Van's video! I've been wearing Van's since I was a child. Mostly slip on style. Never had the heal problem. Always wore out the canvas on the side or toes. I still wear them until they fall off or my wife chucks them. Keep on brother, love the vids!

I like these shoes, some of the best ever made. I haven't had a heel issue yet but then again I don't skate. These are wider than Converse and seem to have more cushioning inside. The Vans Sk8 Hi are actually really wide for standard shoes. These also have arch support which converse do not from what I can see at least for standard chucks. Some people who have more narrow feet might like the standard converse better. These have less seams around the toe area though I still have to use the duct tape to cover those but its a less serious problem than with converse. The material used on the back of the heel feels fantastic.

Dang even your ads are interesting! I don’t know how many times I have heard Skillshare ads before and still really didn’t know what it was, but your “ad” actually made me want to check it out. Great job!

When Toaster came by rubbing all on the shoes, when you said “he’s feeling good.” I about died laughing 😆

Would love to see a converse high top breakdown

[brandonkey]

So excited to see Toaster back!

Also congratulations on your first sponsor! I hope that no idiots try and call you a sellout.

Nobody can accuse this guy of not being thorough. Back in the day all I wore vans, DC and Osiris. I just bought a pair of these Vans this week and I'm really liking them. My backs even thanking me

[jackclark]

I’m stoked to see your channel take off, keep the shoe destruction coming 😁

[omisan]

I watch your show for the shoes, my wife watches it for Toaster.

Pretty sure Vans were created as boat deck shoes and the sole pattern was designed to grip a boat deck better. Skaters discovered them at VanD’s store and the rest is history. Mr. VanD pasted away a few years ago. He’s a legend.

[ladosbichi]

Love the amount of details you put into describing what’s actually inside the shoe. I’d love to see you cut a pair of Air Force 1s or some Jordans
