Vans FAQ
Common questions about Vans
Learn more about what makes Vans unique.
What does "Off The Wall" mean?
"Off The Wall" started as a skateboarding term for riding above the lip of a pool — it became Vans' motto representing creative self-expression and doing things your own way since 1966.
What is Vans POPCUSH?
POPCUSH is Vans' energy-return cushioning technology — a foam insole that bounces back after every step, giving skate-level impact protection with all-day comfort.
What's the difference between Old Skool, Sk8-Hi, and Authentic?
The Authentic is Vans' original low-top with a simple canvas upper. The Old Skool adds the iconic leather side stripe and padded collar for more support. The Sk8-Hi is the high-top built for skateboarding with extra ankle protection.
What makes the Vans waffle sole special?
The signature waffle outsole is Vans' original innovation — its grippy diamond-and-square pattern delivers the board feel and traction skaters rely on, and it's become part of what makes Vans instantly recognizable. Skate-specific models add DuraCap reinforcement for extra durability.
