Hell yeah, i've had more pairs of Sk8 Hi than any shoe in my life. I was seriously disappointed after they changed the Pro line to "skate". Every change was a no-go for me. BUT, around the same time, they introduced the BMX version of the SK8 Hi and I've had almost every pair. There's a pair of these Gray/Gum in the mail as i type.

If it makes him feel better If it weren’t for an extremely modest growth spurt during the summer before high school I’d still be 4’9”.

Ooohhh! Now I get the Ramdom Convos thread!

@WhiskeySandwich Nice! I've got the all Black Sk8 Hi's and Blue x White ones, quite tempted by a cream or offwhite pair this summer too

[WhiskeySandwich]

@AdamJ I really like their marshmallow color but I havent seen them use it on the BMX version yet. but Blackout's are a must have, 100%

I’ll join Adam’s party…got my first pair of SK8-hi’s a few weeks back too. They are already one of my favorites.

[AdamJ]

@SKT knows what's up!!

Of all the recent/new releases, the mid MTE Destruct is a solid fave of mine. So comfortable and particularly awesome for winter.

Here are mine right now, complete with crocking.

Another favourite pair are my OG Vault colab with Nigel Cabourn. 50/50 Indigo dyed herringbone and denim vamp. Like breaking in a pair of iron rangers.

[Matt]

Those are awesome.

[Matt]

And it seems I can get a new pair for $71.

@Matt said in Vans:

Those are awesome.

These are too, which I found searching for the herringbone ones.

+1 on the Sk8-HI BMX.

[Mizmazzle]

@thewizarrd yeah dude. Those are super rad!! Did you take your normal Vans Sk8-hi size in those?

[AdamJ]

@Matt kids sizes are cheaper

[thewizarrd]

@Mizmazzle these are a UK 11, funny story but all my trainers/sneakers are 11. Measured up in a brannock for a pair of red wings about a year ago and I’m actually a 10.. seems I’ve been wearing shoes all my adult life a size too big.. I do have a crazy high arch so some shoes 10, some 11 depending on the width. I could probably get away with a 10.5 in these.

[Mizmazzle]

@thewizarrd yeah, Red Wings run about 1/2 size to one full size larger than a normal sneaker size. So that sounds on par with the norm. Did you buy a pair of Red Wings? It’s a great journey. Classic boots for sure!!

@Matt I'm assuming minimum height for a state trooper was relatively low?
