Van Doren Rubber company, popularly known as Vans is an America based sneaker manufacturer company with years of experience in making trainers for skateboarders, snowboarders and surfers. Vans not only manufactures footwear but it also manufactures socks, watches and other accessories for the youth market. Vans trainers gained popularity when Sean Penn wore the Vans trainers and increased the market value of the Vans products.

Mostly manufacturing shoes for skateboarders, Vans introduced the Vans Sk8-Hi trainers for the young skaters. The Vans Sk8-Hi trainers were termed as the original Vans out-of-the-box skater shoes which give superb performance. Since 1966, Vans has been supplying the athlete youth market with the best possible trainers for different sporting activities.

The Vans Sk8-Hi trainers have sturdy look and suede upper for durability and support. The classic Off-the-Wall gum rubber outsole of Vans Sk8-Hi trainers absorbs superfluous shock and offers long-lasting structure to the trainers. The padded collar and foot-bed of the Vans Sk8-Hi trainers provide better fit and additional comfort to the user. The presence of EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) in the Vans Sk8-Hi trainers provides extra cushioning to the feet of the user. Vulcanized sole has been attached to the Vans Sk8-Hi trainers for better durability and resistance. The year 1966 is embroidered at the back of the Vans Sk8-Hi which symbolises the year of establishment of Vans.

Skaters need to have a strong ankle, because skating requires performance and stunts that are performed by the skater’s ankle. The Vans Sk8-Hi trainers have a mid high top construction, which provides optimum ankle support for the young skaters. The Vans Sk8-Hi is available in many colours.
