The Vans ever-popular Sk8 Hi high top shoes find prominence in our surf catalogue by virtue of some key design updates. Their durable uppers are made of Wolverine suede treated with weather-resistant Scotchguard, and the inside is lined with soft, warm fleece. They are often spotted by surfers hanging out in the beach parking lots. Other benefits include reverse waffle grip trek gum rubber treads, and eco-friendly water-based inks and glues.
