Vulcanized - “Vulc” shoes are light, flexible and break in quickly. The sole consists of several layers of rubber, glued together then attached to the upper with rubber foxing tape. Vulcanized soles don’t provide as much foot protection or support as cupsoles, but they are preferred if you’re looking for good board feel in a shoe with less weight and bulk. Details

That decision ended up defining the company when the world''s first skateboarders discovered how Vans'' Waffle Outsole let them feel their board while staying firmly connected to it.
Gusseted Tongue - Keeps the tongue in place and keeps precipitation out.
Molded EVA Footbed - Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) insoles are a firmer material than you would find on standard orthotic insoles to offer better shock absorption while reducing the weight of the overall shoe.
