    Leather Converse vs Leather Vans Review - The two most popular old school sneaker brands Converse and Vans have made leather versions of their sneakers for a long time but how good are they? Are the leather vans and the leather converse worth the extra money and which of the two has better leather? We are going to answer those questions by cutting them in half and seeing what's inside.

      @Pheonixlgnd even then, it depends on how hard they go skateboarding, if they go out all day every day, then yeah shoes generally fall apart quick from that abrasion, thats what gets me sometimes when i see some skateboarders just straight trash companies just because of how they go out and skate, it ain't their fault people essentially sand down their shoes completely and then say "your shoes are trash", hell im pretty sure some skaters do that on purpose.

    I'm glad you're back. And the review comparison was solid. In my personal experience with both leather shoes you compared here the vans are more worth it. The ultra cush insole lasts a really long time and after my soles actually wore out I put them in other shoes to wear because they remained as comfy as they started. Also in my experience vans last longer, but the soles on these will go long before you notice any real tear in the leather. Neither counter gave out on me in that timeframe either so that's worth noting

    One thing to note! The Vans you reviewed are meant are marketed and made as work shoes, so that could possibly be as to why they would be a bit better quality than an everyday shoe, i think a slightly more fair comparison would be with a “classic tumble” style of vans shoe

    I never found the canvas to be the weak point on chucks. After 2 years of wear, the boxing started separating from the sole and allowed moisture in. On a side note, I’ve noticed some chucks with and without the felt on the bottom. At first I’ve only seen the non felt at discount retailers but later noticed it at a department store that previously had the felted sole version.

    I own a pair of low top leather Converse, and two pair of high tops, but I have had mine for nearly 8 years (they're my "fancy"/going-out-partying shoes, so they don't get a lot of wear). My low tops look exactly like the ones here, but mine have thick leather. I remember when I bought them being surprised how thick and heavy they were for a low top sneaker. Perhaps I lucked out, or maybe the manufacturing has changed in the intervening timeframe.

Viberg is often hailed as the best of the best of the slightly more style-focused heritage boots. I do understand that they cost a lot and cutting one in half does feel criminal, but I think a lot of people would like to see what's inside their $800 boots.

      All the classic Chuck Taylor's don't have removable insoles, and these leather chucks are a variant of classics. Chuck 70s however have that extra insole, reinforced stitching, and glossy rubber, making them higher quality, but they're $85+ :)

    Hey have you reviewed vans boots? Not the snowboarding ones but the waterproof ones that look like sk8 his. Ive had a pair for like 4 years now and they are still in surprisingly good shape

    It’d be cool if you could take a look at some of the higher end sneakers like Visvim, Hershey Shoe Co/Victory Sportswear, Feit, Hender Scheme... I’m not expecting anything crazy on the inside, but the attention to detail and materials would be great to see a breakdown

    I've never seen a pair of those fuzzy Converse outsoles and this is the first time I've heard of them.
