About the Low Vulc
Classic Emerica “Low” revamped – ultra-boardfeel vulc with G6 footbed and heritage style
Emerica’s Low Vulc is a reimagined version of the classic “The Low”, designed to bring the best of yesterday’s skateboarding performance into the present day. It holds true to the original’s stripped-down design and boardfeel focus, while integrating modern upgrades to deliver a shoe that’s perfect for today’s skaters.
Vulcanized Flex and Control:
As a vulcanized shoe, the Low Vulc offers excellent control and flex right out of the box. Your flicks feel immediate, and the soles provide that natural grip on griptape that classic vulcs are known for. It’s a shoe that makes it easy to feel every movement on your board, whether you’re doing flatland tricks or street skating.
Cushioning Without Sacrificing Boardfeel:
To improve the comfort that older vulcs lacked, Emerica added a G6 foam polyurethane footbed for cushioning and support. This insole gives you extra protection when you land hard, making it easier to skate longer without dealing with foot fatigue or bruising. Even though the Low Vulc has a thin, low-profile design, the G6 insole ensures you’re supported when you take a heavy bail or land off a ledge.
Durability and Performance:
The upper of the Low Vulc is built for durability, with a one-piece toe panel to prevent ollie blowouts and double-stitching in high-stress areas to withstand heavy flips and slides. The refined heel area and minimal padding provide a snug, responsive fit, offering just enough comfort to keep your foot locked in without compromising the shoe’s slim silhouette.
Premium Outsole for Grip and Longevity:
Emerica’s signature Triangle Tread pattern provides excellent grip on the board, while a high-density heel drag section increases the shoe’s longevity for skaters who brake with their heels. The vulcanized construction delivers that boardfeel skaters love, but with a touch more durability and longevity than typical old-school designs.
Size & Fit
Emerica footwear is built to fit true to size, so your usual size is the best place to start. Because skate shoes are designed for board feel, control, and support, a snug fit out of the box is normal and will ease up slightly after a few sessions.
For exact measurements, check our Size Guide.

Care & Maintenance
Built to skate and made to last, Emerica footwear will hold up best with regular, low-effort care. Brush off dirt after sessions, spot clean gently with a soft cloth or brush, and let your shoes air dry naturally.
Store them in a cool, dry place between wears, and avoid direct heat or harsh washing methods. A little maintenance goes a long way in preserving the fit, feel, and life of your pair.

Customers praised these skate shoes for exceptional comfort, durability, and "board feel." Many called them "the best skate shoe" and loved the clean design. Loyal customers have purchased multiple pairs over years. However, sizing may run small for some. Several reviews mentioned delivery/customer service issues unrelated to product quality.
- I got them two years ago and they're still holding up - the best skate shoes
- These shoes are a little wider where it counts. No more feet pain. I have found Home.
- Very comfortable and they look sick. Highly recommend!

For the discerning skater who wants the style and stability of Reynolds’s 3s but has been left in the past by fate and time!

In a world dominated by big box brands, Emerica keeps pushing out shoes for skaters. Although few to no shoe brands are still "Skater Owned", Emerica still ownes the fact that they ONLY make skate shoes. The Low Vulc is a great example of what can be done by a company who strives to produce what our community needs. Simple but very satisfactory.

The outsole started falling apart within an hour of skating. Absolutely unreliable.

I got them two years ago and there still holding up the best skate shoes. I have only had to glue them two times on the tip.
Hi Skateman thank you for your review ! Two years and still going strong, that's exactly what we love to hear! Skate shoes take a serious beating, so knowing ours have held up through it all means a lot to us. A little glue on the tip is all part of the journey! Thanks for sticking with us. Hope they keep rolling for many more sessions to come!
Cheers!

There’s not enough words to describe how pleased I am with this shoe! Unfortunately I could not buy enough pairs ! It would be great to be a brand ambassador or reviewer but this is definitely the only shoe I use for comfort to all my media gigs!

Had the same shoes last year in a different color way and they fit better and were better quality. The new ones were not uniform and the left shoe was a slightly different shape at the toe, overall was just disappointed. I loved my previous pair though.

It feels weird to type this but I have been wearing Emerica shoes since the original Reynolds came out in like 98. Us skateboarders are weirdly brand loyal. Still love em. They still skate well.
Hey!
We're stoked to hear that you've been a loyal Emerica fan since the 90s and that our Low Vulc shoes are still your go-to for skating.
