Step up this season with one of the most inclusive shoes to date, the Vans The Lizzie Shoes in Marshmallow. Named after skateboarder Lizzie Armanto, the shoe was built for a wider range of skateboarders whose needs were not being met. Lizzie wanted a shoe that represented her completely-from a slimmer fit tailored to her foot shape to a leaner outsole for a closer connection to her board and improved flexibility. The impact cushioning in typical skate shoes left Lizzie feeling like she was floating above her board, so Vans created a new lower profile footbed to eliminate the gap. The Lizzie also features a new vulcanized construction with a lower profile sidewall foxing tape, an exposed radiused outsole edge, and flex grooves for a stable, broken-in feel. Plus, the universal fit features the perfect amount of EcoCush cushioning, increasing boardfeel for a wider range of skaters. And to top it all off, a new 3D Embossed DURACAP toe and Sidestripe has even more durability in high-wear areas, while an all-new micro-waffle tread and Sick-Stick rubber offer maximum grip. Because Lizzie is also passionate about preserving our planet, her signature shoe received the Vans VR3 Checkerboard Globe designation, meaning it follows strict footwear material guidelines for all major components and has been designed and engineered to have a reduced carbon footprint compared to Vans’ canvas shoes.
