What are the widest skate shoes? I’ve moved onto barefoot shoes all the time to help a bad back and although it worked i now have Frodo feet. Its meant that when I then tried to wear some Vans last night I got blisters like grapes on both little toes. ---

I saw some pretty wide skate shoes recently but can’t remember where or what they were called? I’m guessing they are a new company because the designs were unlike anything else. ---

I have wide feet and wear Last Resort. They’re just about wide enough but because they’re soft they quickly change shape to fit. NB Numeric keep threatening to release a wide model but it never seems to happen. E’s Accel/slims were pretty wide too but overall I prefer Last Resort. ---

Keep seeing mentions on instagram of reissues of certain Cab pro shoes. Are Vans fucking stupid? ---

I keep reading (from employees) on Reddit and what not there not doing well or were not in the skate department, not sure how true that really is though 🤷‍♂️ ---

They must be spending a lot of money making all manner of different shoes, shouldn’t you scale things back if it isn’t going well? I remember one of the old Cab cupsole models being alright, not enough to want a reissue mind you. ---

Someone has probably mistakenly conflated the popularity of the half cab with the popularity of Peter Pan Man Child. ---

I think they’re living off past glories. They were part of the emergence of skating in California in the 70s because they were cheap and had grippy soles and they became a cult item. But put them side by side with something like Nike SB and their quality and durability just doesn’t stand up in today’s world. ---

That was true when Rowley made them cool again though, I don’t think it comes down to quality personally as plenty of the newer models like the Crockett wear pretty well. It’s the designs that seem to be going through a really bad patch but then they’re not alone in that now, most current SB’s stink. ---

> [@ihatethegeneralpublic](#): > > the designs that seem to be going through a really bad patch They seem constantly stuck between keeping a core line of the obvious classic shoes, and trying to move with trends and fashions. And they don’t seem to know which way go. ---

Pretty much like they were in the early 2000s. Lots of stinkers but everyone wanting Rowleys and Era’s. ---

Seems like they got real big, real fast, so if demand isn’t quite up to what they’ve supplied it’s hard. Even my mother in law wears sk8 hi’s ---

I just thought general public stopped buying authentics, old skools and era’s. Would presume that would give them a pretty fucking big hit. Remember in SS20 the authentic was the road mans crep of choice for a hot minute. ---

I hardly see anyone wearing Vans now, let alone actual skaters. Very much out of fashion (I guess, talking like a fashion expert lol). [Previous page](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/t/shoes/167.md?page=512) [Next page](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/t/shoes/167.md?page=514)
