Vans skate shoes have been around since the 1960s and they have
shown the world that they are here to stay. Each year, Vans
Footwear continues to produce some of the highest-selling and most
sought-after skate shoes on the market. From the original
Authentics to today's line of professional-inspired model like the
Tony Trujillo TNTs or the Andrew Doheny E Streets, Vans
consistently proves why they are one of the most respected
companies in the skate shoe industry.
Vans shoes come in many different styles, some of which are not
even aimed towards skateboarders. This is something that Vans has
an upper-hand in; they are able to successfully target two large
demographics -- skateboarders and those who just enjoy the style
and comfort of skate shoes. Vans makes sneakers for both boys and
girls, for toddlers, kids, teens and adults. Not too many other
brands can compare with the line-up Vans offers, in terms of both
quantity and quality. Another thing that makes Vans shoes diverse
is the fact that you can often choose between low-tops, mid-tops
and high-tops for certain models.
Vans is largely known for their comfort and durability. Almost
all of their models are triple-stitched and made from tough,
Vulcanized leather. It is not uncommon to be able to skateboard
with the same pair for several years. This says a lot because many
other skate shoes will only last 6 months at the most. Vans shoes
are capable of holding up to a lot of abuse for a long period of
time without ripping or wearing to the point of creating holes.
Perhaps one of the most unique and innovative aspects of Vans is
that you can get online and create your own Vans shoes. On their
website you can choose from three classic Vans shoes styles -- the
Era, Old Skools and Slip-ons. Each of these start out as plain
white and as you navigate through the steps you can add your own
designs and colors to each individual panel of the shoe. With all
of these things in mind, it's no wonder why Vans shoes are so
popular, and don't look to be slowing down.
