The Circa 99 Vulc Skate Shoes maintain that cool and edgy vintage feel, look and texture without sacrificing the comfort and quality of the shoe. Soft and breathable fabric textures coupled with special treatments taken on the exterior allow for extra breathability while skating in the shoes so that you're shoes won't feel trapped as they might in lesser shoes. Latex cushions are also included in specific areas to ensure the foot is cradled and comfortable at the beginning and end of every step taken.
