Vans Skate Old Skool 36+ Oatmeal
The Skate Old Skool 36+ is the skate version of Vans’ best-known model. The shape has stayed the same, but the construction has been adapted for people who actually skate in it. This colorway is called Oatmeal after the cream-colored collar padding, the heel piece and the woven pull tabs; the suede around them is deep green, with the white stripe on the side and a white rubber sidewall all around.
Where the 36+ differs from the regular Old Skool
Under the suede on the toe and along the side sits DURACAP, an extra rubber layer from Vans in the spots that wear out first. The rubber sidewall around the sole runs in one piece and comes higher up the shoe. Inside is a PopCush insole: Vans’ own foam that doesn’t flatten out and absorbs the impact of a jump.
Grip on your board
The waffle sole is still underneath. That rubber block pattern grabs your grip tape, and because the sole is vulcanized, it flexes with your foot. So you feel your board under you, instead of having a thick slab in between.
How does it fit?
In our store, this model is listed as true to size: your regular size is usually the right one. Not sure? Check the Vans size guide. Currently in stock: 40, 40.5, 42, 42.5, 43 and 44.
Even when it rains?
Suede and textile are not waterproof. For a wet winter day, this isn’t the shoe. For dry days, the indoor skatepark and everyday use, you’re all set; dry-brush it clean and don’t put it on the radiator.
We sell the 36+ to people who really skate in them: the extra rubber under the toe and the thicker insole sit exactly where a regular Old Skool gives out first. We list this model as true to size.
Do you skate flips? There’s an extra rubber layer under the suede on the toe.
Want to feel your board under you? The sole is vulcanized and flexes with you.
Landing off a set? The PopCush insole absorbs that impact.
Prefer green to black? This version is deep green with cream.
Walking in it in winter? Suede and textile aren’t waterproof; choose a shoe that can handle wet weather.
