Vans The Lizzie - QUILTED GRAPE LEAF VN0A4BX150K Mens Womens Sneakers

Right now (and for the past 20 years) Lizzie is the only female with her name on a signature skateboarding shoe—but she didnt set out to make a womens skate shoe. Instead, she wanted to make a great shoe for more skaters whose needs were not being met.

We listened to her when she said that most impact cushioning left her floating above her board, disconnected. So we updated the impact cushioning. We listened when Lizzie told us that the current skate molds made her foot feel like it was swimming inside the shoe. So we updated the fit with a locked-in last for improved control. And we listened when Lizzie told us she needed better grip and more durability to add to the overall skateability. So we created a new gum rubber tread pattern and reinforced the upper with DURACAP™ where she needed it most.

Lizzie completely redesigned our skate shoe to be more inclusive to the needs of a wider range of skaters. We built the Lizzie, not because shes good . . . for a girl, but because she knows what she needs in order to be one of the best skateboarders in the world, and because she knows whats missing in the world of skateboarding.

- COMPLETELY REDESIGNED UPPERS - Chrome-free suede offers more sustainable durability, while high organic-content textiles were used on the quarter-panel, tongue, and lining material. Plus, a flip-up heel pull helps pull on shoe, with hidden Lizzie branding.
- UNRIVALED DURABILITY - A subtle 3D DURACAP™ sidestripe under the quarter-panel and thicker DURACAP™ toecaps show through under the vamp for extra durability.
- UPGRADED IMPACT CUSHIONING - A brand new, lower-profile sockliner has been added per Lizzies request, using our new EcoCush™ foam, a 70% bio-based PU that offers comparable performance to PopCush™ for skateboarding
- LOCKED-IN FIT - The new performance-fit last was taken directly from Lizzies input and 3D scans of her feet.
- LEGENDARY GRIP - A brand new bottom plate utilizing flex grooves, zonal waffle lugs for durability and support, and SickStick™ rubber has been paired with Lizzies favorite micro-waffle pattern for grip.
- UPDATED FOXING AND OUTSOLE DESIGN - The one-piece foxing provides flexibility, using high natural content SickStick™ rubber for durability and grip. The slightly rounded bottom edge of the outsole is exposed for that immediate broken-in feel.
