The Era Pro is a major step in tweaking and upgrading the skate performance of one of our best selling classic shoes. A few years back our team skated Classics, loved them, and kept requesting them with performance footbeds. We saw the popularity and introduced Era Pro's, but had not put the product in our permanent rotation until now. We wanted to put a stake in the ground to combat the knock-off products and remind everyone who was the first and who is still the best at performance vulcanized. Look for the special "Pro Classics" logos and labeling to identify this product. The Pro Classics series includes the classic Vans shoes you know and love but updated and upgraded to meet the demanding requirements of the Vans Pro Skate Team. Vans Pro Classics last longer and provide the extra support and cushion today's skateboarders need.

Pro Classics Performance Upgrades.
Vans Pro Classics are built to last longer with reinforced abrasion areas and provide the extra support and cushioning demanded by the world's best professional skateboarders. With added features, like, ULTRACUSH HD Sockliners, DURACAP™ Toe Bumper Underlays, and DURACAP™ Upper Ollie Underlays,

Pro Classics modifications provide:
  • Advanced Cushioning
  • Increased Durability
  • Extra Reinforcement

    • Skate Vulc: Classic Skate Feel, Improved Cushioning.
    • NEW Co-Molded PU1 Footbed: Single-Density Foam, Improved Fit.
    • Combination Insole Board: Shoe Flexes at the Ball of Your Foot, Heel Remains Stable.
    • DURACAP Toe Bumper: Extra Layer of Rubber, Prolongs Shoe Life.
    • NEW DURACAP Upper: Micro Thin Rubber Layer, Ollie Area Reinforcement.
    • Imported.

      I have had Era Pro's since shortly after they were starting to sell them on the market, and I have to say that it is easily the best pair of skate shoes I have ever owned in 9 years of skateboarding. The Era classics have always been a favorite of mine, and the Pros take it to another level.

      Most companies have turned to cheaply made shoes to save money and make profit. But, Our best friends from the Vans factories keep their word and make a quality shoe with less ripping so you can thrash your shoes for a lot longer.

      It does not matter if you are just starting to skate, or if you are one of the best skaters out there. These shoes are perfect for any skater who still appreciates a low pro shoe with a lot of board feel . You will get everything you expect from a quality shoe!

      Vans come on now you guys are totally making your shoes NOW with poor quality, the bottoms wear out in a WEEK of skating, the heel part RIPS off on the heel after 2 weeks of use (this has happened on 3 separate pairs of these shoes, same exact color way and everything). As opposed to the old era pro's from when they were first launched, best shoes ever made for skate boarding hands down; the grip lasted months, the rubber on the toe for flicking lasted months as well, the suede never blew out on the heel portion either, over all better quality than the new ones. The purpose of this review is to just let you guys know that people are going to catch on to the decline in quality of your products, and you guys don't even care(tried contacting customer service and no help at all). "Professional skateboard shoe" my butt. Vans please get your act together and get back to making the best skate shoes because these new ones are extremely poor quality.
