Something Else Entirely
The Lizzie; the first signature skate shoe from Lizzie Armanto; breaks as much new ground as Lizzie herself with a unique solution to the universal problems of skate shoes-a better-fitting; more durable; and sustainably conscious solution for all skateboarders.
With a narrower fit; the perfect amount of VR3Cush™ cushioning; a new 3D DURACAP™ toe for increased durability; and micro-waffle tread and SickStick™ rubber for maximum grip; the first signature skate shoe from a woman in 20 years is nothing short of legendary. Created with inclusivity in mind; The Lizzie also features a new vulcanised construction with a higher outsole cup and rounded edges for a stable; broken-in feel. And did we mention that it’s made with more environmentally friendly materials; such as chrome-free suedes and organic cottons? Yeah; you read that right.
Our team has set ambitious sustainability goals. Big or small; all of our efforts add up to positive change. To earn the VR3 Checkerboard globe logo; at least 30% of the product must be made up of recycled; renewable; and/or regenerative materials.
FEATURES
· ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MATERIALS – The all-new upper (the quarter panel; tongue; and lining) is made from 100% organic renewable cottons that regrow as we use them; and the addition of chrome-free suede offers more sustainable durability. Learn more at Vans.com/sustainability
· UNIVERSAL FIT: This all-new performance fit was designed by Lizzie to meet the needs of a wider range of skateboarders. The stretch tongue straps offer added lockdown and tongue stabilisation.
· BOARD FEEL AND IMPACT PROTECTION: Made using VR3Cush™ foam; a 70% biobased PU foam (Fates™) partially sourced from plants per the ASTM D6866-16 reference standard; The Lizzie offers a new; lower-profile sock liner that provides the boardfeel and impact protection you demand.
· LEGENDARY GRIP: A brand-new bottom plate design utilises forefoot flex grooves; zonal waffle lugs for durability and support; plus SickStick™ rubber (a compound made of 60% natural rubber harvested from trees) paired with a micro-waffle pattern; and gives you the grip you expect from Vans with a broken-in feel right out of the box.
· DURABILITY: DURACAP™ reinforcements in high-wear areas; plus a thicker 3D moulded DURACAP™ toe cap; provide extra durability.
