There's a custom-made boot inside the shoe, it's not an off-the-shelf item.
The stunt soles--which I saw in-person but wasn't able to look at the tread pattern on, might be cast appliances molded to hold the vans outsole tread pattern-- not unmodified vans themselves. You can tell from the way the pattern runs off the edge and the overall thinness of the layer that they are at least modified heavily.
The shoe construction is as follows, from inner to outer:
(1) custom inner boot and support structure, then fabric and webbing, then a thin red sole, and finally thicker black sole. On the hero suit, the final outsole is cast with the snazzy web tread pattern and holes that reveal the red sole beneath. On the stunt suit, the final sole uses the more grippy vans tread pattern with no holes, presumably for better traction. That would also lend some credence to them using and modifying the sole of the vans shoe itself, for the benefit and durability of the tread material in providing grip.
A pair of Vans Era's, for example, could be cannibalized to make the stunt outsole by cutting the new profile out of the sole.
