What are some generally good Vans besides Old Skools? I got a gift card for the Vans store and I don't really know what to get, it's been a while since I've skated them

the TNT 5s are really good, a lot like the Old Skool but with more padding and a bit chunkier. They last a lot longer than Old Skools as well. Half Cabs are good as well, but most of the time they wear out pretty quickly. To be honest all Vans wear out pretty quickly though. As has been said, Era Pros are good as well.

TNT 5's are the nicest vans I've skated in.  check out the Ripped Laces review, it's pretty on point

^^Sick. It actually drives me a little nuts to have black shoes with white soles at them moment. I'm a sucker for all black or white.

These are my 8th pair of Campus vulcs. I love how the bottom of the sole is gum instead of white

oldskool > half cab > AVE6 > TNT5

(read in reverse for most padding/durability tho)

Whoa Ive never heard that one. But I used to get size 10 for the campus vulcs and when I tried them one, they felt too big, so I went down to a 9.5 and it feels perfect

They are slimmed down. The rep I spoke with said how over the years they got puffy and with all the different factories things changed too much and riders weren't stoked so they made an effort to slim them up. The still fit big like the others.

Are Bruins still in production? I picked up a pair of these for $30 over the break, and I have never liked a skate shoe more than these.

Seems like Bruins are down to 1 color way per season. I wouldn't be surprised if they were axed sometime this year.
Pretty easy to find A pair on sale.

Dang, I remember having those in 2008! I wish I could get 'em again, or even more the black P.Rod 2's with the gold swoosh. Fuck the 2.5's, they suck
