The Vans Story
The skating community knows the Vans story well. But even those with a casual appreciation for comfortable clothes and shoes will appreciate their incredible rise. Humble roots began in Anaheim back in 1966, when brothers Jim and Paul Van Doren collaborated with two partners to begin The Van Doren Rubber Company. Their goal was to create high-quality footwear on-site and provide them directly to the consumer.
It was an instant success, especially among the area’s thriving skateboarding community, who appreciated the stability that the shoe offered them. It was all thanks to two key features: an exceptionally rugged, thick sole that provided outstanding traction, and a strong build that ensured constant support all day long.
Style for Days
It’s all about endless style and comfort, which is why Vans designs a variety of different women’s shoes to meet your every need. Slip into a pair of effortless slip-ons for a casual day out. They look great with absolutely everything in your closet, including joggers and leggings. Throw on a lightweight T-shirt on a warm day for an easy look that’s great for casual errand runs.
Go the classic route in a pair of Old Skool shoes that you’ll love from the moment you first rock them. Featuring traditional lacing systems that promise a secure fit, plus that eye-catching side stripe the brand is known for, these timeless shoes have been a fan favorite for decades.
Prefer a sportier look? Try a pair of Vans high-tops. It’s easy to achieve all-day comfort in Sk8-Hi kicks that are built to nestle your ankle in support while stabilizing your feet so that you can handle everything on your agenda in statement style.
