About the Vans The Lizzie
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.
- Completely Redesigned Uppers - Chrome-free suede offers more sustainable durability, while high organic-content textiles were used on the quarter-panel, tongue, and lining material. Plus, a flip-up heel pull helps pull the shoe on, with hidden Lizzie branding.
- Unrivalled Durability - A subtle 3D DURACAP™ Sidestripe under the quarter-panel and thicker DURACAP™ toecaps show through under the vamp for extra durability. • UPGRADED IMPACT CUSHIONING - A brand new, lower-profile sockliner has been added per Lizzie’s request, using our new EcoCush™ foam, a 70% bio-based PU that offers comparable performance to PopCush™ for skateboarding.
- Locked-In Fit - The new performance-fit last was taken directly from Lizzie’s input. The universal fit increases boardfeel and control for a wider range of skaters. • LEGENDARY GRIP - A brand new bottom plate utilizing flex grooves, zonal waffle lugs for durability and support, and SickStick™ rubber has been paired with Lizzie’s favorite micro-waffle pattern for grip.
- Updated Foxing & Outsole Design - The one-piece foxing provides flexibility, using high natural content SickStick™ rubber for durability and grip. The slightly rounded bottom edge of the outsole is exposed for that immediate broken-in feel.
- VR3 Certified - Made in part with organic cotton, natural rubber, and biobased foam, The Lizzie also utilizes suede across the entire shoe sourced from Leather Working Group (LWG) tanneries that have been rated gold or silver for environmental responsibility.
- Composition: Suede, Textile
- Duracap: The added DURACAP reinforcement rubber underlays in high-wear areas are engineered to withstand the abuse of the vans pro skate team—and by providing lasting durability, save everyday skateboarders time and money.
- Sickstick: Inspired by Vans’ beloved original gum rubber formula, Vans introduces the stickiest, grippiest gum sole in the brand’s history. Our new, proprietary gum rubber compound is uniquely calibrated in the sole and foxing to deliver enhanced grip and maximum durability, keeping you on your board and Off The Wall. Only available in Pro Skate, SickStick is tested and approved by the Vans Innovation Team and today’s top skaters from around the world.
