Vans Skate Half Cab Wafflecup Shoes - Oatmeal / Deep Teal

The Best of Both Worlds

The Skate Half Cab WaffleCup™ stays true to the heritage of Steve Caballero's iconic mid-top shoe, while packing an arsenal of tech designed for modern skateboarding. From smooth street spots to massive stair sets, this is the ultimate version for those who demand maximum support without sacrificing board control.

Tech & Performance

• Wafflecup™ Technology: The Vans game-changer. This hybrid construction offers the rugged support and durability of a cupsole, combined with the exceptional flexibility and boardfeel of a traditional vulcanized shoe.

• DuraCap™ Durability: Reinforced rubber underlays are built into the high-wear areas of the suede and mesh upper, guaranteeing maximum protection against griptape blowout.

• SickStick™ Grip: Equipped with Vans' stickiest rubber compound ever, keeping you literally glued to your board.

• PopCush™ Cushioning: Energy-return footbeds protect your heels from heavy impacts during long sessions while keeping leg fatigue at bay.

• Comfort & Details: A seamless LUXLINER™ inner bootie ensures a breathable, locked-in fit. The kicker? A hidden stash pocket built right into the tongue.

The "Core Skate" Tip

Thanks to the Wafflecup sole and the mid-top ankle support, this pair is an absolute weapon for transition skating (bowls/ramps) and jumping down big gaps. The "Oatmeal" and "Deep Teal" colorway gives off heavy 90s vibes: pair it with baggy cargo pants or heavy denim shorts.
