Lightweight, lace-up, high tops, the Sk8-Hi VR3 Shoes feature heel cushioning for extra comfort, re-enforced toecaps for durability, and padded collars for comfort. In keeping with Vans commitment to sustainability, their VR3 midsole is made using at least 25% biobased EVA foam, partially derived from plant-based sources. Signature rubber waffle outsoles give these shoes a firmer grip. In order to reduce the overall footprint of Vans, the team has set ambitious sustainability goals. Big or small, all of their efforts add up to positive change. VR3 is the Vans commitment to sourcing 100% of their top 4 CO2 impact materials (cotton, leather, rubber and polyester) from Regenerative, Responsibly Sourced Renewable, and/or Recycled sources by 2030.
