Anthony Van Engelen came correct with his first pro-model shoe on Vans. Cushioned heel for ultimate comfort and grip avoiding that unfortunate slip of your heel in the middle of a 360 kick flip. Reinfoced Toe and side area make trick skating much more technical as the thicker padding grabs the board better and makes the shoe last longer. The Van Engelen AV Sk8 Low is pretty much the perfect skate shoe. .
