vintage vans style #44 ~ US8.5 ?

vintage vans style #44 authentic

grey canvas

made in usa circa 1990

used

US8.5?/UK7.5-8? (gum waffle outsole portion measures 27cm left, 27.4cm right)

good used condition. the rubber first foxing shows widespread hardening & is brittle in areas. not completely cured/solidificed but cracking & splitting shows. the glue is still strong & from experience they should not completely give way but instead breakdown over time & still hold up to relatively normal wear. the midsole is almost unaffected. the internal toe cap of the right shoe is still attached to the rubber however has separated from the canvas. the foam footbed shows dry rot & crusting at the very edge of the arch only. size is no longer visible. im confident they fit slightly small for US8.5 towards US8. check measures
