Vans Half Cabs

You are Made for the Elements. These are your Vans.

Worlds. Have. Collided. The Half Cab, one of Vans’ most recognizable heritage skateboarding shoes, snaps on MTE’s pinnacle technical package to create the beast-est mid-cut of all time. Thirty years in the making, the Half Cab GORE-TEX MTE-3 combines iconic skate style and swagger with MTE-3’s GORE-TEX breathable, waterproof package, Vans’ exclusive use of GORE-TEX’s all-new Duratherm insulation, and an MTE-3 outsole featuring All-Trac all-weather rubber compound. It’s a lot. And it’s meant to be. Question is: What are you gonna do with it? The the Half Cab GORE-TEX MTE-3 is made with leather, textile, and synthetic uppers.

MOISTURE MANAGEMENT - Engineered with a breathable waterproof internal bootie that allows moisture to escape while keeping snow and rain out, the GORE-TEX® “GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™” promise is trusted in any condition.
THERMOREGULATION - This 3M Thinsulate™ insulation package is thin, lightweight, and warm. An extremely fine microfiber weave helps to trap air and block heat loss, making for incredibly efficient heat retention while allowing internal moisture to escape.
TRACTION - The MTE™-3 outsole with All-Trac rubber compound has a dynamic lug tread pattern that provides flexible, true all-weather grip that significantly aides in overall traction on variable terrain. Toe picking treads and a higher toe bumper offer added traction and protection.
COMFORT AND SUPPORT - Our MTE™-3 triple-density comfort package includes a dual-density UltraCush™ molded EVA footbed with an OrthoLite® topsheet for enhanced comfort and reduced weight—all while supporting a drier, healthier environment inside your shoe.

30 Years of the Half Cab In 1992, skaters created the world’s greatest skate shoe with just scissors and duct tape. They cut down their shoes to make something that could push skateboarding the way they wanted to, and the Half Cab was born. Three decades later, skaters are still pushing forward. Introducing the Skate Half Cab ’92, a new build on a skate classic. Completely redesigned with skaters in mind, the Skate Classics Half Cab ’92 delivers more of what skaters need to enable maximum progression. The new sidewall finish, checkerboard flag, and “Skateboarding” branding are some of subtle differences to enhance this iconic style. The fully revised upper with molded heel counter, locked-in tongue straps, and a recut of the DURACAP™ underlay offers an essential fit that is more breathable and durable where skaters need it most. The two-part foxing, featuring a tougher toe knurl, ensures heightened board contact, and the redesigned gum rubber sole that made Vans famous has been made even better with our SickStick™ rubber compound and an internal heel shank to deliver more grip, more boardfeel, more support, and more durability. Uppers made from sturdy suede and 6 oz canvas round out the upgraded design. The Skate Half Cab ’92 gives the look you want with all the performance benefits real skaters demand. Because skate classics are made for skateboarding.
