vintage van's style #98 ~ US11.5

vintage van's style #98 slip-on

navy canvas

made in usa circa 1993

used

US11.5/UK10.5-11 (gum waffle portion of outsole measures 29.6cm left, 29.9cm right)

superb used condition HOWEVER THESE ARE DEFECTIVE!  rubber cure/solidification has set in, cracking is evident & widespread loss of rubber will occur. only the first foxing is effected (foxing stripe area) & the waffle & friction itself will hold up to normal wear, perhaps apart from left medial arch. the first foxing however will flake away over time. the internal toe cap shows complete stiffening which contributes to rubber hardening at toe. the foundation of the shoes will hold up over time however with significant loss of rubber chunks. wear at own risk
