Best skate shoe ever - The fact that there is not many seams around the ollie area makes this shoe near indistructable. And they look sick too. Very comfotable. Buy them now.

Vans waffle soles are the best soles for skateboarding... ...and the high top supports the ankle. Down with the old school? Learn frontside rock'n'rolls!!!

Brands I'd also recommend: Rowley Classic or the Chukka Boot if you're a hippy

The best shoes - These shoes are good for everything to put it in words that will fit in this space. You can skate in them then use them at school or work. They are extremly durable.

HALF CABS ARE THE BEST!! All around good looking shoe. Get a half size smaller for a better fit. If you get the right size, the fit so comfortably. Good skate shoe!

At first my boyfriend didn't like the contrast of the thread with the suede...but the comfort swayed him, and now he loves their look!

Great Shoe! Great shoe, but harder to find since they are not made anymore or so that seems until I found Zappos.

excellent - The quality of the shoe was as expected. The delivery was fast and came with an easy return envelope and policy. Neither was needed because the shoes were perfect. Excellent qualiaty. Excellent service. I will shop with zappos again!

Half way - I saw the half cab and really liked the look but even though I tried 2 different sizes...they don't fit very well and are not at all comfortable. This shoe has no arch support but I really enjoyed working with the the people at zappos.

Enjoy the Pursuit - I wear a size ten in almost every type of shoe, be it a dress shoe, sandal, sneaker, etc. However, I ordered the Half Cab a half size smaller than normal and it fits very well. I have skated in the shoes for about three weeks. At first I had a hard time getting used to all the space in the toes and it took three days of moderate skating to break the shoes in. The sole is wearing well and a little quickly but of course scraping and rubbing sandpaper into the rubber sole and suede vamp will certainly deteriorate any shoe. The insoles are not very supportive and I read recently that Vans is planning on releasing a Half Cab with more support in the next year. For skating these shoes are great, but if you plan on just buying these to 'kick it' or use them for walking please rethink this decision.

Vans half cabs review by J-dazzle - These shoes make me wanna shred a pool, they are some of the best skating shoes I have ever procured. Unfortunately they do have their problems. #1 they are not very comfortable. I needed to put extra insoles in these bad boys because I wasn't getting the support or cushioning I require for my vigorous skating. The aesthetic of this shoe is to die for. I have gotten so many compliments on them. They are by far one of my favorite shoes ever. Props to Steve caballero for putting his name on them.

I love the half cabs - I swear I've always loved the way the half cabs look but once I put my foot in it I fell IN love with it. haha they are very comfortable. And the waffle sole is perfect. But I love the look of these so much I may not even skate in them. I think I'm gonna buy a whole nother pair to skate in.

Fantastic shoe, but only good for two sessions. This shoe is all about the look, the feel, and the grip--and in those categories, this shoe is one of the best (it's proven that by sticking around for so long). But their durability is pathetic. I got about two good sessions out of mine and by then the cushioning was sunk down and the suede was stretched out. Cushioning-wise, I had to wear an extra insole in them--don't jump down stairs and gaps in these shoes unless you're a teenager or a total nutcase. Another big problem with half-cabs is ventilation. If your feet sweat a lot don't get them! There are no airholes for breathability. Still, I have to admit, I want another pair....... how's that for hypocrisy? There’s just something about them.... aaagh!!!! Oh yeah, my foot measures a 10, and I bought 9.5s. I think I could even have gone with a 9, especially considering how much they stretched out.

A comfortable value - The shoes felt comfortable and I was on them all day at the races. I would recommend them to others as a walking shoe or around the house comfy shoe. They actually look good also,I wear a size 15.

Durable shoe, could use some arch support - These are men's shoes, but I am not a man. However, this is one of my most frequently worn pairs of shoes. I used to have inserts for them (and probably will get some more), because I feel they could use some more support. Also, I replaced the laces with black. One of the best features of this shoe is that the laces do stay put, which sometimes makes them hard to get into. Had them for 7 years and they're still in fine shape.
