Vans' The Lizzie Skate Shoes have been designed by Pro-Skateboarder Lizzie Armanto to give her everything she needs in a skating shoe.
With that in mind, The Lizzie has been constructed with: a slimmer fit for a narrower foot; a leaner outsole for a closer connection to her board and for improved flexibility; a new lower profile footbed to eliminate the gap between rider and board; a new vulcanized construction with a lower profile sidewall foxing tape; an exposed radiused outsole edge and flex grooves for a stable, broken-in feel; a universal fit featuring the perfect amount of EcoCush™ cushioning, increasing board feel for a wider range of skaters; a new 3D Embossed DURACAP™ toe and Sidestripe has even more durability in high-wear areas; and an all-new micro-waffle tread and Sick-Stick™ rubber offer maximum grip.
As Lizzie herself is also dedicated to preserving the planet, the Lizzie shoe has received the Vans VR3 Checkerboard Globe designation, meaning it follows strict footwear material guidelines for all major components and has been designed and engineered to have a reduced carbon footprint compared to Vans’ canvas shoes.
