Vans Era Skate Brown/Blue
More than fifty years ago, the Era was the first shoe Vans made specifically for skateboarding, designed together with skaters of the time. The Skate version keeps the shape and reinforces the spots that wear out. This colorway combines brown suede on the toe, heel and side panels with light blue canvas on the rest of the upper, on a white sole with a red heel label.
What’s under the canvas
Under the upper sits DuraCap, a thin rubber layer in the spots where griptape rubs. Inside the shoe is a PopCush footbed: Vans foam that absorbs the impact of a jump and doesn’t stay flat. At the back is a molded reinforcement that keeps your heel in place.
The tongue stays in place
Inside are two straps that hold the tongue at the sides. That sounds like a detail, but it’s exactly what goes wrong on a regular low-top shoe: after half an hour, the tongue sits crooked against your ankle. A padded collar also runs all the way around.
Metal eyelets and laces
The laces run through metal eyelets instead of stitched holes. Those cut into the lace less quickly when it rubs over the edge, and that’s exactly where laces on a skate shoe break first.
The sizes still in stock
In this brown-blue colorway, 36 through 41 are in stock, half sizes included. That’s the lower end of the range, so if you have bigger feet, this one won’t work for you. Check the Vans size guide for the length in centimeters.
We sell the Skate Era most often to people who wore through the toe of their last Era; the rubber layer under the upper sits exactly there. If you only walk the streets in it, you’ll mainly notice the thicker insole after a long day on your feet.
Do you skate and wear through a regular canvas shoe within a season
Are you looking for a two-tone low-top shoe for everyday wear
Do you wear size 36 through 41 and rarely find it
Do you want a thicker insole than a classic Era has
If you wear size 42 or larger, this version stops short: we only have 36 through 41.
Suede and canvas don’t keep water out; for a wet winter day, you’re better off with a lined shoe.
If you want support around your ankle, choose a mid-top model like the Half Cab.
Take your usual size: we list this model as true to size.
In stock: 36 through 41, half sizes included.
Check the Vans size guide for the length in centimeters.
Brush the brown suede clean while dry and keep the canvas fresh with a damp cloth.
Not in the washing machine and not on the radiator; let them dry at room temperature.
