Vans
Featured Styles:
Vans got its start in Anaheim, California in 1966. The Van Doren brothers, paired with Gordon Lee & Serge Delia opened The Van Doren Rubber company. They manufactured shoes on-site and sold them directly to the public. The first Vans shoe they created was the Style 44 which is now known as the Authentic.
Through the years Vans has dipped their toes (pun intended) into a variety of different sports including skateboarding, BMX, surfing, snowboarding & more. Their innovation paired with their classic style continues to keep Vans relevant through ever-changing trends.
How do Vans shoes fit? Vans shoes are sized according to the US standard; the size conversion from women's to men's shoes is 1.5 sizes down. For example, if you were a size 8 in women's, you'd be a size 6.5 in men's.
What are Vans shoes made of? Vans are known for their classic canvas uppers & vulcanized rubber outsoles, but they now have styles made from multiple different materials such as leather or EVA. To see material info for specific styles consult the details tab on the product page.
Where are Vans shoes made? Although Vans was originally a California based company with manufacturing in the United States, in the late 1990s Vans moved most of its manufacturing operations to China & Vietnam.
