About Vans

Vans comes from the skate parks and has never pretended to be anything else. The Old Skool with its signature sidestripe is the foundation, the Sk8-Hi takes the line up to the ankle, the Slip-On keeps things deliberately simple and the Authentic proves that a classic needs no extras. The waffle outsole, a canvas or suede upper and a construction that can take a beating: this is functional footwear that became style in its own right. Every colorway stays honest and versatile, and the models are generally affordably priced. Still, prices vary by shop and color. At Solezilla, you can compare the full Vans range across dozens of shops, so you can find an Old Skool at the best price in your size.
