The first model was released last January  was the black Full Cab that’s been manually cut down and duct taped in the old school style. It was a limited edition and 20 pairs has been released worldwide and  each pair signed by the Steve Caballero himself.

This month Vans will be commemorating Half Cab by releasing a a beige colorway.  The sneaker has a vulcanized gum rubber outsole with white foxing and come lined in black terry with a matching tongue and 20th anniversary branding tab hitting the lateral side of the kicks.

The Half Cab started when skaters in 1991 started cutting half of the Caballero’s skateboarding sneakers so in 1992, Steve Caballero decided to release the Half Cab and became an immediate hit and a best-seller for Vans. You can now relieve the Half Cab mania 20 years ago by purchasing the beige release.

2012 guide to shoes

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Richard

Begin with your foot type, so before you pick out your next pair of sneaker you should think about the shape of your foot. Shoes that are fitted wrongly can lead to injury and performance issues. Supinated feet will have high arches. This foot type will create wear on the outside of the shoe towards the heel and fore foot and the inner part will hardly be worn at all. You may also find this foot type will be wider than others meaning the right comfortable shoe is vital. Extra cushioning is a big thing for wide feet aswell as the high arch as the shape can be inflexible when hitting the ground.

Pronated feet are the opposite of supinated feet, so they will wear the inside of the foot most. Flat feet can be a common issue and support for the big toe will be greatly appreciated. Lastly are neutral feet, these are most efficient and easy to buy for. They can literally wear any shoe they like!

Testing for this can be carried out on professionals, putting each shoe type through its paces to ensure good coverage for the customers. The testing will rate each shoe form 1 – 10 in categories labelled; stability, cushioning, arch support, weight, ventilation and break in time. Make sure the shoe fits you perfectly before heading out on your run to give you complete satisfaction.

Zero drop shoes

Posted on April 17, 2012 by Richard

Golden Harper has been helping injured runners cut up their old running shoes for many years. They literally cut the shoes open with a saw blade. As weird as it may sound, Harper and the running store co-worker along with the former high school cross country teammate Brian Beckstead were not trying to help uneased runners to get some sort of misplaced retribution for injuring themselves, but were instead trying to get rid of what they believe, along with many experts now too, the culprit to many common running injuries. Quoting the elevated heels of most training shoes.

 

What they were trying to do was create a ‘zero-drop’ shoe that will let the foot sit level to the ground without sloping from the heel to the forefoot. They would cut triangular shaped wedge foam from the back half of the shoe and glue them back together. They have estimated 2000 pairs of shoes have been changed over the past seven years, all with a great response to the modification.

Zero drop shoes can make running easier and much more efficient, claims Jay Dicharry, MPT, director of SPEED clinic from the University of Virginias Center for Endurance Sport. Although it’s possible to run well with the slightly raised heels also. Now companies are creating shoes with a less obvious ramp but few have brought out a no slope shoe at this moment in time.
