- Sneakers that provide lasting comfiness and durability are what you need.
- Shoes with an 80-dollar price tag (or less) excite you.

The origin of the Vans Half Cab Pro
In 2005, Steve Caballero worked with Vans to create the Half Cab. This skate-specific sneaker was built with a suede cover, a padded tongue, and vulcanized rubber outsole.
Although this instantly captivated the hearts of street-skating riders, the more daring skateboarders demanded a more cushioned footbed to support their arches. In response, Vans introduced the Vans Half Cab Pro in 2007. This upgraded design with enhanced performance features provides extra cushioning underfoot, as well as additional support. This hybrid shoe has crossed boundaries of style and function as it is also hailed as a celebrated BMX shoe.
