The Vans Pacquard.
"One my favorite shoes to skate is the Vans Pacquard. First off, I just like the way it looks... clean and to the point. There aren't all kinds of un-needed bells and whistles on it like a lot of other skate shoes have. Second, the cup-sole technology in this shoe is really good for those high impact spots. I skated them for a few months and never got any heel bruises. A little spendy at 75$ but trust me, you and your feet will thank me later!"
