Vans Era Skate Black
The Era has been around since 1976 and is still a low-top canvas shoe with a waffle sole. This Era Skate is the version Vans adapted for skating: the same shape and the same look, but with more material in the spots that wear out fastest.
How is it different from the regular Era?
In three ways. The canvas is heavier, ten ounces, complemented by suede on the sides. Under that canvas are reinforced pieces on the toe and along the outside, exactly where your board’s griptape rubs. And the rubber sidewall runs higher all the way around, so the rubber takes the hits instead of the fabric.
How does the sole feel underfoot?
The insole is thicker than that of the classic Era and springs back with every step. You notice it most when you stand for a long time or jump a lot: your legs get tired less quickly. The outsole is the familiar waffle pattern in soft rubber, and that soft rubber grips both your board and a smooth tile floor.
Also great if you never step on a board
Black canvas, a white sole and a small red label on the heel: it works with jeans just as well as with shorts. The padded collar keeps your heel in place, and the metal eyelets let you pull the laces tight without the canvas tearing. Inside are straps that hold the tongue in place, so it doesn’t slide to the side.
We position the black Skate Era as the low-top Vans model that stays intact the longest; the extra rubber sits under the fabric, so you can’t see any of it from the outside. If you only wear it on the street, it’s simply a black canvas shoe with a sturdier sole.
Do you skate and want a shoe that survives grip tape longer
Are you looking for a plain black shoe that goes with everything
Do you stand for long stretches and want a springy insole
Do you wear size 37 through 44
If you want a light summer shoe, this heavier canvas with suede is warmer than a regular Era.
If you’re looking for a shoe that wraps your ankle, choose a high-top model instead of this low one.
Your regular size is usually the right one here: this model runs true to size.
We have 37 through 44 in stock, with 38.5 and 40.5 in between.
If you’re unsure, check the Vans size guide.
Wipe the white edge of the sole with a damp cloth, so the contrast stays.
Brush the canvas clean while dry; then let the shoe air-dry.
