The main difference between regular Vans shoes and skate Vans shoes is the sole. Skate Vans have a thicker, more durable sole that's been designed to withstand the wear and tear of skating. Additionally, the soles of skate shoes are usually flat, while regular Vans typically have a slight incline. Skate Vans shoes take the designs of classic Vans, and simply add extra durability – perfect for skaters. Think of your Old Skool, Sk8-Hi and Sk8-Low all on steroids.
