Introducing Vans youth sizing, with some of our more iconic silhouettes made for feet that are too big for kids sizing, but not yet big enough for adult sizing. The Sk8-Hi was a game changer as the first high-top skate shoe to break onto the scene. With a padded collar for ankle support and reinforced toe caps, it remains a style like no other. The Sk8-Hi was our second model to showcase the Vans Sidestripe, and its bold design has remained iconic ever since.
