Vans Rowley XLT Shoes. Vans brought back the iconic Rowley XLT from their archives, sticking with all that original style and chunky padding the Rowley was known for. A mix of synthetic nubuck and suede create a sturdy and durable upper, with doubled overlays around the toebox and halfway up the lace eyelets adding way more protection to those key areas. EVA midsole with a custom stabilizing Rowley clip in the heel and of course that classic Vans Waffle rubber outsole giving plenty of grip and traction. Imported.
