USN Deck Shoes

[M. from Berlin]

Just found this alternative also:

US Rubber Company Lot 010 - Ecru/Black

US Rubber Company, founded in 1892 paved the way for some of the biggest sneaker brands in the world to this date. The mass production of the sneakers during the start of the First World War allowed U.S. Rubber to uniform the U.S. army. The US Rubber Company Lot 010 is an exact replica of the US...

@Thomas Koehle did you use true white or natural white for your Vans USN sneakers?

@Greg Gale i choose for the "natural white" and white laces - the laces where "true white" so i dyed them in coffee

i had to cut-off those "VANS" tabs but that's an easy task

 

[Greg Gale]

Thanks! Did you have to order to the US? Or do they deliver these worldwide?

Delivery was straight to my doorsteps in Germany - i'm sure they will also send them over to Hungary

Just takes a bit longer (with mine was about 7 weeks) coz they do the customjobs in the US

Those US Rubber Company lot 010 shoes are on sale at The Great Divide store. Still a few relatively human sizes available. Might not be ideal for people outside the UK since customs will probably want their cut. https://thegreat-divide.com/product...5&_sid=37e53ab14&_ss=r&variant=39430100254818

That's awesome!

Thx for the link.

I'd grab a pair if they would available - maybe they will restock at some point ...

 

[taiAtari]

Yeah, it seems they've just got sizes 41-43 left in stock. If they restock the price will probably go back to the regular one and you can expect import fees on top if you're in the EU, but for now it's a good deal.

anyone know the width of the us rubber sneakers? I have wide feet [a life of wearing sneakers and flip flops], so for the last 50 years I have been wearing sperry top siders. I believe speedy was the originator of "deck shoes"

Sorry Vic. Just saw this. The US Rubber Co Lot 010's have a moderately wide toe box. When I had my feet scanned at Redwing last year, they came back as wide width. I typically wear a US size 11 in Nike sneakers, but was able to fit into a US size 10 in the USR Co Lot 010's without any discomfort. I would say that they wear closest to a US size 10.5 in the VANS deck shoes that Thomas posted. They are a little slimmer in the toe box than Sperry Halyard deck shoes. I can post side by side comparisons of all three if needed.
