vintage van's style #38 ~ US8.5 ?

vintage van's style #38 sk8-hi

navy suede/canvas

made in usa circa 1994

used

US8.5?/UK7.5-8? (gum waffle outsole portion measures 27.5cm)

decent used condition. the white rubber is dry & crusty rather than being hard & remains soft & malleable. significant wear reveals rubber erosion rather than cracking which may continue. the stitching on the medial left toe has given way & exposes the insole. upon lacing however this should not significantly effect wear. a couple incisions are seen to the suede but have not produced holes. size not visible but confident of US8.5 if not US9. these are kinda blown out by wide feet of previous owner.
