Skateboarders and sneaker fans may be thinking about the autumn collections of their favorite shoe company but Vans is already thinking ahead to 2008. The Vans Mountain Edition Highs are a high top version of the shoe maker’s traditional skate shoe with checkerboard design. This shoe should not be much more expensive than other Vans offerings and it is ideal for skateboarders that need greater ankle support.

The best part about the Vans Mountain Edition Highs is the strap affixed for your comfort over the shoe laces. You can use the Velcro strap to keep your feet protected while you are boarding and easily take your shoes off by ripping the strap from its Velcro landing. You should save some money from the holidays and head down to your local shoe store in early 2008 to get these great shoes.
