The Type II takes all the of Vans skate shoes of the past, and then makes things even better with some key new design updates. You are getting the extra comfort and durability that comes with Vans' exclusive Skate Vulc construction.
great shoe i got them in gray and they are awesome for longboarding or skateboarding, but if you get them wet your socks get black on them from the inside of the shoe, over all this is an awesome shoe and is broken in very easly.
