Vans Rowley XL2 Skate Shoe - Mens
The Vans XL2 Skate Shoe takes the sleek, lightweight design made popular by Rowley and takes it to the next level. Synthetic materials make this bad boy vegan friendly, and make it durable as heck to boot. With Japanese influenced aesthetics and a hyper-grippy waffle grip sole, the XL2 won't leave you facedown in a pool of board parts; you'll have to do that on your own.
$64.95 
Really Really Good
As an owner of the Original Rowley's I was a little bit dissapointed when after only a years time the shoe started to fall apart and the sole started coming undone from the body of the shoe. When searching for a vegetarian shoe online I was kind of erked that the only shoe I could find that was a skating shoe was the Rowley XL2. That being said I finally decided to give it another go when i found the shoe on Backcountry.com for fractions of what it cost on other shoe websites. When I received the shoe I was pleasantly surprised to see that the mistakes in design which caused my first Rowley's to fall apart had been corrected. And they were actually lighter then the original Rowley's and had a sweet look to them as well. The design is simple, very comfortable and sleek. I have gotten many pleasant comments on them from people who have been known not to like Vans at all. Overall this shoe is a comfortable shoe, wears well, has good grip, takes abuse like it should, and seems to be well built enough to hopefully last longer than my previous pair of Rowley's did. Plus they are completely animal free. and with that I could recommend these shoes to anyone who wants them!

I'm terrible on a skateboard, but I love the shoes. These are hella comfy and vegan/vegetarian friendly too. One minor complaint: There was a hot spot on my left little toe, but that's going away now that the shoes are getting good and broken in. I think it could have been avoided all together if I had better fitting socks.
Rowley XL2 Skate Shoes
My 15 year old son wanted these particular shoes. My son LOVES his shoes. I wish I had purchased 2 pairs! I had a little problem with the delivery of the package before the holidays but I called and the problem was quickly corrected. KUDOS!
Nice shoe, the older felt better.
First off, I don't skate in these shoes. I find skating shoes to be the most comfortable sneakers that fit a balance of quality and price. They feel soft around the foot, but are taking a long time to break in. Physically this isn't a problem. However, the sound of the shoe while walking is awkward.
