We stock some of the Vans ERA 45 LX's and they are designed with "Fixed gear bikes in mind" when looking at the fabric construction and build compared to a convenional Vans ERA. For instance the toe box is constructed from a Rip-stop like fabric that is more durable where your toe will come into contact in bike use as opposed to skate use(like an ollie pacth on old skat shoes). They also have a super-sticky Vans waffle soul that has super grip plus a sticky toe wrap on the vulcanised outsole. Admnittedly they do have the fixed gear artwork on the footbed which is arguably inneccesary but they are sick shoes and have sold super quick in our store.
Vans seems to be a popular choice with fixed gear riders anyhow I thought. I think its rad that Vans have identified this and are tailoring there best selling shoes to this market.
I work at a store called attla down in cornwall. Long way from most of the guys on the board but good to hear whats happening in your scene and chat to people.
