Skate Heritage. All-Weather Attitude.

An icon doesn't need reinventing. Just a few upgrades. The Vans Half Cab GORE-TEX Insulated Shoes take one of skateboarding's most recognizable silhouettes and give it the all-weather treatment. Originally introduced in 1988, the Half Cab has earned its reputation for durability, comfort, and unmistakable style. Now, it's ready to handle a little more than the skatepark.

Part of the Vans MTE™ (Made for the Elements) Collection, this weatherized mid-top combines classic Half Cab styling with GORE-TEX® waterproof technology, breathable construction, and added insulation to keep your feet warm and dry when conditions get ugly. Rain, cold mornings, and unpredictable weather? Consider them handled.

The durable suede upper maintains the Half Cab's signature look while incorporating waterproof protection for wet conditions. Underfoot, the All-Trac rubber outsole provides reliable multi-surface traction, giving you the grip you need when navigating slick sidewalks, uneven terrain, or whatever your daily route throws at you.

A padded collar and cushioned footbed deliver all-day comfort, while the traditional lace-up closure lets you dial in your fit. Finished with signature Steve Caballero branding, these shoes stay true to their skateboarding roots without sacrificing the functionality needed for colder, wetter days.

From city streets to weekend adventures, the Half Cab GORE-TEX proves you don't have to trade good style for weather protection.

Classic silhouette. Upgraded capabilities. Zero complaints.

Why We Love It

The Half Cab is already a classic, but adding GORE-TEX and insulation makes it a whole lot more practical when the weather isn't cooperating. You get the same iconic skate silhouette with waterproof protection, added warmth, and an All-Trac outsole that provides better traction across changing surfaces. We're especially into the fact that Vans managed to pack all that functionality into a shoe that still looks like a Half Cab. It's the kind of footwear you can wear all day without looking like you're preparing to summit Everest just to grab coffee.
