From beach bums to skaters to people who just like cool shoes, Vans shoes appeal to the masses, and thus, their name has become legendary. This list of top picks in men's casual Van's shoes features quite a few shoes for skaters, but even if you don't plan on going near a board any time soon, chances are you'll love the casual style of these Vans shoes.
Back in the day, we would call these "boating shoes." I never thought that name did them justice. I always felt that made them somehow seem unhip, when in truth, they were very fashionable. Today, thankfully, that name seems to have been dropped in favor of the word "Classics." Very appropriate, I think. I picked my beloved red.
No list of Vans shoes (or Beach Boys concert) would be complete without the Vans Classic Slip-Ons. From dragon silk to checkerboards, and skulls to solids, there's a pattern or shade for everyone. These are the shoes that helped make Vans shoes legendary.
These Vans skate shoes have the super-gripping power necessary to pull off top moves, and the vegan synthetic leather is easy to care for. Offered in black or "Formula One," which is code for deep red.
Inspired by, designed for, and dedicated to John Cardiel, these Vans skate shoes features waffle grip with an updated pivot point that lets you stay in control of your board, and suede reinforced toe bumpers to provide steady "flip trick" feel. But even if you're not a skater, you'll find something to love about these Vans shoes. Suede or suede/leather combination uppers and three great color combos: black/grey, charcoal/white and my personal favorite, espresso/fog.
These Vans shoes offer several features that skaters will appreciate, and they look great too. With slim profile and vegan uppers, Geoff Rowley's 7th signature design is a winner for skaters and regular folk alike - available in loads of color options.
