Hey guys, in need of new shoes. Never tried the Vans bmx shoes, are they a lot better than the regulars? What are the differences? I see they have a different sole pattern.

Roomier toe box.
I can’t wear regular Van’s without up-sizing by 1.5-2 sizes. I got me some wide-ass feet. The BMX and HalfCabs fit good only going up 0.5 in size. Can’t wear either of my practically brand new pairs of Grosso’s because of my fat-ass feet.
They also have the waffle-cup sole and better insoles.
The new ones are way more comfortable. But they squeak when i walk on a hard surface.
Been riding for 4 years now and tried different pairs of vans. The bmx ones are the ones that last me the longest! I’ll never go back to the regular ones now that I tried these. The bmx’s soles are a lot more sturdy while the regular ones only last me a couple months
All the fucking time ..and in any location
I would buy the BMX shoes because Vans is one of the few mainstream companies actually making BMX stuff
Stopped riding vans all together. Have yet to have a pair not fall apart on me. The sole always seperates from the shoe.
I switched to Emerica and found they don’t deteriorate as quick imo
I’ve got one of the earlier BMX shoes they made with the pro-cush and they’re super comfortable, thin enough the feel what you’re doing but strong enough to not fall apart or make you feel like you’re riding barefoot. You can also land on your feet much softer than normal vans too.
Nothing will ever beat the old Nike 6.0s though.
