Customer Reviews Vans Half Cab™

Some Super Sweet Kicks!!! I bought these shoes to skate in and so far they are champs. So comfortable, I love these shoes I would recommend these shoes to anyone who love style, comfort and functionality.

Vans are sick - It seams like any Classic Vans shoe holds up good, the Half Cab is a good buy.

Purchased for my son - My sons loves the shoes. He uses them as an "everyday" shoe for school. He's very happy with the look and the feel of the shoe. This is the second pair of Vans Half Cab shoes that we've purchased.

Wonderful - My second pair, most comfortable Vans besides the TNT2. They are very durable and again, comfortable! Recommended whether walking or skating.

Buy Half Cabs Get Chicks - The Half Cabs are by far the best shoe for your kick flips, they may wear out rather quickly but they're not that expensive and who doesn't wanna do a lofty kick flip over a hip in front of a bunch of girls and have them caress your sweet shoes? Personally I would, that's why I buy Half Cabs they basically kick flip for you.

HALF CABS RULE! Half cabs... classic kick a** good looks and once broken in are the most comfortable shoe ever.

These shoes are awesome - These are the best shoe's Vans make. They were built for skating but you can do any sport you want in these shoes. They have them in low top, mid top and high top. I love them all. I wish I could get every single color way they have in these!!!!!

Must-have. Very comfortable. Shoes were shipped the same day, I ordered them. :D

Great shoe, Zappos service: WOW - I am very happy with these shoes. I've been wearing Vans since the 80s though, so I knew what to expect. What really blew me away though was Zappos.com's service. The shoes arrived overnight, even though I did not ask for overnight shipping… at no extra cost. Incredible service - keep it up!

Vans Half Cab Pro (Black leather/White sole) - This shoe is excellent! The look and feel of it are like no other. If you skate/ride(bmx), they are perfect. The sole is just thick enough for absorbing impact and thin enough to feel the board/pedal under your feet. The materials last also... YEA YEA!

A Desperately needed pair of shoes! I wanted something with a high ankle, but didn't want to fall into the Nike-dunk craze. I found these on Urban Outfitters, ONLY in orange. Sure enough, like a champ, Zappos had a myriad of colors and sizes, all of them great! The Shoe: noticeable arch support, thick soles (a good inch to 1&1/2), and a true fit. not particularly insulating from the cold. A bit narrow; I could feel blisters on my big toes from where they were rubbing. Not sure if this is from needing to be broken in or my foot's own shape. Don’t expect to slip these right on. That in itself is a struggle, because the opening is designed to fit right around your ankle. Again, this may be because they are brand new. All around, love them, as do many others. Lots of comments! PS- not bad for long walking. Been doing a lot of that lately, and my feet are feeling fine.

Amazing - The absolute BEST shoe I've ever skated. Great board feel and feels light but not to light. It's definitely one of, if not the best skate shoes out there. True to size, true to width, great support all around.

Awesome - These shoes have a great look great feel and the best part. They're old school. I skateboard so the shoe really feels a part of me if I feel like going out and kickin it.

A timeless classic - The Vans classic Half Cab is timeless. This shoe has been around for a long time as one of the first pro model skateboarding shoes. Steve Caballero and Vans got together and made a wonderful shoe and all of these new (old) colorways are great. They fit very true to size but the sole tends to stretch out giving you a little extra room after about 2 weeks of wear. They skate very well for a vulcanized sole shoe.

Nice, son! So sexy. I am lovin’ the black leather and the red ones! I have already gotten Half Cabs before, navy ones, and they're great. They’re legendary! And they're a perfect shoe to skate in. Yes, I skate and they work great. Get ‘em now. I am about to snag some leather ones myself.

The best - My bf has sworn by Half Cabs for years and loves skating in them. I got myself the black leathers and him the all blacks. They're so comfortable and look awesome on!

Not quite as sturdy as they were when I was a kid...still pretty bitchin' though.

They are nice... For a while. I love these shoes, they were great the first few times I wore them. If anyone has bought any other half-cabs you might be in for a shock, however. The shoe feels thinner than the older half-cabs, more bendy... And they aren't made from the same material either. Old half-cabs have that thick cotton stuff, really durable. These on the other hand are all suede and they get dirty REALLY easily, and once they get something on them it WILL NOT come off. Also, dye from my jeans has already begun to turn the back of the shoes dark. Overall they are pretty nice and you should pretty much love them, especially if you’re already into half-cabs.

Vans Half Cabs: Pros and Cons - The Vans Half Cab is obviously a very classic core shoe from Vans, and its reputation is outrageous. I really do love the style of the shoe, the way it looks, the way it skates, the way it feels. I think the only complaint I have of this shoe is that after awhile of skating in them, the inside of the backside of the shoe starts to wear away...then eventually causing blisters and discomfort.

These shoes are okay. They are pretty comfortable, but don't last as long as you want them to. They are horrible to skate in.

Half Cabs Insole Pain - I skated these shoes for only one month, I've only skated for ten. I had to throw in my own insole right away. Vans insoles are horrible for shock absorption. That didn't help enough. If you don't land tricks or ollies down a stair set or ledge, these shoes are HIGHLY unforgiving, causing tons of pain. The sole eventually wore away. I have a hole that goes straight up to the insole, so I'm done. Don't skate normal Half Cabs, skate Half Cab Pros. The pain from skating can get to be a big problem.

ALWAYS GREAT! I've been wearing Vans most of my life. I'm glad to see Zappos has such a wide variety. Especially the Half Cabs. As always Zappos is the best!

Nice shoe - This shoe is freakin awesome. I skated them at a Woodward-type camp for 6 weeks and there was hardly any wear to them (which is definitely saying something the way I skate). They have good board feel once they break in, but not as much as the Eras or TNT 2s. Anyway, overall these shoes are crazy good.

Purchased these for my son. Although the overall look, style and comfort were great, they were a bit narrow for him. These were already a full-size larger than his normal size, so sizing up wouldn't do the trick. Sadly, had to return.
