The Vans Skink Shoe - good last year - great this year with the addition of the black grey green Skink the guys at Vans have exceeded themselves once more. The Vans Skink Shoe - get them, get them on, and get out. Vans shoes are THE ultimate skate shoe. Combining off the wall design and originality since 1964 Vans Shoes continue to lead the way with their evolution of styles and models, plus continuing their heritage with classics like the Old Skool and Slip-Ons. Often imitated, never bettered as a skate shoe, every company tries emulate their class.
