Vans Men’s Hi-Standard Pro Boot Walnut 2023

As the Pro-level cousin in the Hi-Standard family, the Hi-Standard Pro has a lot to live up to. The most well-known franchise name in the Vans collection bears the responsibility of delivering on the promises of both performance and style. This latest interpretation of that legacy hits hard on both. Supported by a full suite of V2 components and a look that drips progressive heritage, this is without a doubt the pro-est Hi-Standard ever built.
