Best Shoes Ever - These shoes look tight and skate really well. A few added features from the original and much better. These shoes have more padding and a normal sole. These shoes are AWESOME!

Great update! Slightly modified from the original... The Half Cab "Pro" has a polyurethane insole (same as AV Sk8 Lo or the TNT 2 shoes) and just slightly more padding in the tongue. Both are good things! After more than 15 years, this shoe still holds its own in terms of boardfeel, protection, and style. Now there is no heel bruising, too!

The Half Cab Pros are awesome. Easily the best shoes I have ever tried. The grip is amazing and keeps you on your board. The grip stays too. It is a very durable shoe. They don't rip! The cushioning is great too. It might be a little less cushioning than other brands, but unless you're trying like 20 stairs, it won't be a problem. They're very comfortable too. And they look sick. Best shoes ever.

Sk8 or die, bruh! I've skated for over 10 years, and I got my first pair of Half-Cab pros less then a year ago and haven't looked back. They are true to size, stiff but not uncomfortable and very supportive, especially for skating. If you are on your feet all day, you might want to throw some insoles on them, but I've found they're a pretty good overall shoe. I like them so much I bought a pair to skate in and a pair to live/work in.

These shoes were good for the first couple of weeks and then they started to tear up. The heel was bruised easily, Vans logo at the heel tore off quick. Inner cushions quickly deteriorated at the heel area also. Overall, it was a nice shoe in the beginning, but 6 months later my shoes are torn up from minimal skating.
