Vans were originally created in 1966 by Paul and James Van Doren and Gordon Lee in Anaheim, California. The first Vans shoe store was called The Van Doren Rubber Company. It made a name for itself with a rugged shoe design called "The Authentic," which had a sticky sole that skaters loved. It wasn't long before customers could find a Vans store in locations all over California.
 

Vans come in many different styles, including the Classic Slip-On, Old Skool, Authentic, Era, MTE, Sk8 Hi, Slide-On Sandals, UltraRange sneakers, and fun collaborations. Vans are available in canvas and leather, and they're comfy enough to wear all day, whether you're headed to the skate park or a concert.
 

Most Vans shoes are made of canvas, which will loosen up slightly with wear. A typical pair of Vans shoes may stretch an eighth of an inch or so.
 

Yes. Our special offers change regularly. We may feature Vans Slip-Ons one week and Sk8 His the following week. Check back often for the latest deals!
 

We do not recommend wearing Vans during workouts.
 

Most Vans shoes run true to size but may seem snug until they're broken in. If you're between sizes, we usually recommend sizing up for most styles. If in doubt, stop by your nearest Journeys store to try on a few pairs of Vans in person or use the True Fit tool to determine the best size for you.
