Overall Review

Anthony Van Engelen’s AV Sk8-Low are manufactured cut extremely deep, in fact, it is among the lowest cut skateboarding shoes available on the market. Normally, most people will wear the skateboarding shoes that have a mid-cut; however there are many people that really enjoy the flexible and free comfort that this shoe provides. With Vans classic design of light weight, this skateboarding shoes low cut version actually is very quick and light.

The panels on the side are built tough and thick, which is something that you aren’t going to find in several canvas skateboarding shoes. Whereas the toe cap actually is created out of though, thick suede and all around the shoe there is double stitching. The traditional gum sole waffle pattern is grippy and nice, along with the rubber wrap that is located around the base that is double layered right in the front. In the event that you do a whole lot of flip tricks, you are more than likely go to shred the laces a couple of times, and in the event that you are extremely aggressive within your skateboarding, you are more than likely going to rip completely throuth the shoe’s entirety eventually, but have you ever saw a shoe that lasts forever?

Overall, Vans AV Sk8-Low is going to last much longer than most of the skateboarding shoes that resemble it and more than likely, you are going to be completely satisfied with the fit that is if you are really into skateboarding shoes that have a low cut. The style this shoe possesses is also pretty sweet; Anthony Van Engelen has a very good sense when it comes to making really cool shoes.
