Worth every penny. Comfortable, durable, broke in same day I put them on. It’s still a little warm in NorCal but these will be so clutch for the wet and raining season coming our way. Will definitely be getting a second pair once these are done. Sk8-Hi Waterproof Insulated Shoe

In love with these, but all of a sudden can't find them anywhere. Even drove to the mall to ask at the vans store (I'm in the US) and they had no idea what it even was, much less had any info on whether or not it was still in production. Vans customer support is just sloppy AI that "can't answer that right now".

Can anyone share any insider info?

IDENTIFY Today I found a pair of 90s Vans at my neighborhood shoe store… but we’re missing one shoe 😅

Today I visited the shoe store in my neighborhood, a place that has been around since I was a little kid, barely three feet tall.

The store mainly sold sneakers and dress shoes, many of them Mexican brands made from leather in León, Guanajuato. But they also carried some good sneaker brands like Nike, Vans, Converse, and DC.

One day, the owner was robbed. They took several pairs of name-brand sneakers and money, but they also took something much harder to get back: his peace of mind. He’s now an elderly man, around 75 years old, and he still runs his shoe store.

Lately, he’s been going through old stock in his storage rooms, and things that have been forgotten for years are starting to turn up.

And today, we found these Vans from the 1990s! They’re dirty, but they appear to be brand new and unworn.

Unfortunately, so far we’ve only found the left shoe. 😅 We agreed that he’ll keep looking through the storage room this week to see if the right one turns up.

Fingers crossed we find its missing mate!

Not sure at what point this is considered to be 'a problem'. For the record, none of these have cost more than ~25USD.

Which ones should be next?

(And yes, I lace to the top, fits perfectly if I do).

DISCUSSION Vans Crosspath XC GORE-TEX — Worth it? How durable is it long-term?

2 Upvotes

I'm considering buying the Vans Crosspath XC GORE-TEX and would like to hear from people who have owned it.

I've seen some posts saying that the regular, non-GORE-TEX Crosspath doesn't hold up very well. Since both versions have Vibram outsoles, I'm more curious about the durability of the upper materials and overall construction.

A few questions:

  • How well does the upper hold up after 6 months to a year of use?
  • Any issues with tearing, stitching, or the shoe coming apart?
  • Does the GORE-TEX membrane remain waterproof after extended use?
  • Is it comfortable for all-day walking and occasional light hiking?
  • Is the XC GORE-TEX worth the extra money compared with the regular version?

I'm looking for a shoe for everyday casual wear, walking, and rainy weather, with occasional light hikes.

I'd appreciate feedback from anyone who has owned the Crosspath XC GORE-TEX, especially regarding long-term durability. Thanks!
