vintage van's style #77(?) ~ US7.5 ?

vintage van's style #77 bold old skool

navy-charcoal(?)/white suede & red canvas

made in usa circa 1998

new

USw9.5/US7.5?/UK7 (gum waffle outsole portion measures 27.2cm)

classically on these (assembled in usa?) transitional (puffy/cupsole) models the rubber tends to be less malleable than true usa originals. despite some separation between rubber & uppers, & foxing stripe discolouration, the rubber does remain soft & flexible, however may surface crack & flake over time. also widespread micro-stress-cracking below the foxing stripe. from experience will hold up strong over time however. 2 very small tears to internal heel lining at base. significant foam usage in collar & tongue may cause dry-rot problems over time but shows no indication of doing so at present. internally there is some soiling to the lining but mostly fluff sticking to the foam. size is no longer visible & the insole does read w10 however i believe these to be USw9.5. check measures
