Adult Skateboarding Longboarding Low-Top Shoes Vulca 100

Skate shoes with a canvas upper and vulcanized sole, perfect for skateboarding and longboarding.

What is a vulcanized sole?

A vulcanized sole -- a must in the world of skating -- is a sole made from rubber that is heated under pressure. Vulcanization glues together the fabric upper, rubber band and sole. This technique has numerous benefits: it makes the shoe sturdy, supple and light. Plus, the texture means you can feel the board well. The 100% rubber sole also gives you good grip.

What is canvas?

A particularly thick, durable type of cotton.

How do you choose your skate shoe size?

Choosing a skate shoe means finding something that gives you freedom while staying on your foot. You therefore want something that is neither too wide, which would mean the shoes fall off, nor too tight, which would squash your toes. New vulcanized shoes are generally quite narrow the first few times you wear them. After a few hours, the vulcanized band will change shape to fit your feet. The best thing is to get shoes that are fitted.

What is the difference between high-top and low-top shoes?

Beside the issue of style, high-top and low-top shoes offer different benefits. High-tops keep your foot more stable and protect your ankle while staying firmly in place. Low-tops give you a better range of movement and are lighter.

Are Vulca shoes comfortable?

The molded air sacs inside the sole limit vibrations by dampening the shock waves caused by skating tricks.
