Take a moment to appreciate the Vans Women's Sk8-Hi Skate Shoe before you shred it to death. First it'll start with gravel getting stuck in Vans' ever-reliable gum rubber, and before you know there'll be scrapes and holes littered all over the durable upper. Well, not before you know it, because the vulcanized midsole makes sure you get the most out of this shoe, and even when it's shredded up, you'll only appreciate it that much more. Vans stuffed the collar with padding to enhance comfort and help prevent rolling ankles.
