The Invado OG is what happens when Vans takes their unmistakable skate heritage and dials it into a snowboard boot that actually locks your heel down. Blending classic lace-up style with the precision of Boa® at the instep, this boot keeps your foot glued where it should be—no sloppy heels, no wasted energy.
A cushy UltraCush™ liner and POPCUSH™ footbed soak up chatter while the Waffle Lug outsole bites into icy parking lots with the same confident traction that made Vans famous on concrete. The medium flex hits that sweet spot for riders who want enough response to carve clean lines but still have the freedom to tweak grabs and press rails without fighting their boots.

Vans has been core since ’66—rider-owned, rider-driven, and in it for the long haul. From legends like Steve Caballero and Jeff Rowley to modern powerhouses like Zion Wright, Lizzie Armanto, and Arthur Longo, Vans has always backed the ones pushing skate, snow, and BMX from the inside out. They didn’t just show up when it got cool—they helped build the culture. Whether it’s Half Cabs at a DIY, Hi-Standards in waist-deep pow, or MTB shoes built to take a beating, Vans gear is made to ride and made to last.
