The Lizzie Low, a takedown of Lizzie Armanto’s signature skate shoe, breaks as much new ground as Lizzie herself with a unique solution to the universal problems of skate shoes—a better-fitting, more durable, and sustainability-conscious solution for all skateboarders. Created with thoughful materials and inclusivity in mind, Lizzie and Vans are proud to deliver something completely different for a new generation of skateboarders.
FEATURES
SUSTAINABILITY-CONSCIOUS MATERIALS - The upper (the quarter panel, tongue, and lining) is made from recycled polyester, organically grown cotton, and suede.Vans leather products support responsible manufacturing via the Leather Working Group.
UNIVERSAL FIT: This performance fit was designed by Lizzie to meet the needs of a wider range of skateboarders. The stretch tongue straps offer added lockdown and tongue stabilization.
BOARDFEEL AND IMPACT PROTECTION: Made using VR3CUSH™ foam, a 70% biobased PU foam (Fates™) partially sourced from plants per the ASTM D6866-16 reference standard, The Lizzie offers a lower-profile sockliner that provides the boardfeel and impact protection you demand.
LEGENDARY GRIP: The bottom plate design utilizes forefoot flex grooves, zonal waffle lugs for durability and support, plus SickStick™ rubber (a proprietary compound containing at least 55% responsibly sourced natural rubber obtained from sources that follow proven sustainable practices with the intention of reducing impacts on the planet) paired with a micro-waffle pattern, and gives you the grip you expect from Vans with a broken-in feel right out of the box.
DURABILITY: DURACAP™ reinforcements in high-wear areas, plus a thicker 3D molded DURACAP™ toe cap, provide extra durability.
