Let’s welcome your new guest-reviewer, Stefan Lind. He proved to be just the right mix of skate rat and A-class shoe nerd to qualify for the job. He will be the equivalent of an on-spot reporter here at weartested with his honest, short and sweet review-style that is still as informative and objective as we…

After a small hiatus, here it is, the newest review about the Vans Stage 4. The interesting concept of 4 Vans amateurs giving feedback and more or less designing a shoe together is definitely interesting. The outcome is as well. Thank you Vans for the test samples. PDF file: Vans Stage 4 review
