Vans Classic Slip-On Checker Shoes

I think Vans are starting to get a bit out of date, but they are excellent shoes and really unique. This model is available in so many different colour schemes, that you could buy every pair to match all your outfits! Personally, I have a black and white pair and a pink/brown/beige pair. I could easily go out there and buy all the other colours, but they aren't cheap in the shops. They are very comfortable and easy to slip on your foot. Here is a list to give you an idea of the colours you can find them in: Pink/Brown/Beige Red/Black Blue/Black Grey/Black Pink/Black White/Black White/Red Yellow/Black There are also ...  Read the complete review

After seeing my Converse starting to fall apart and looking scruffy, I wanted a change, something a little more crazy - I was prepared to spend a little bit more. After seeing many people walking around in converse, I simply felt like them, like the mass, and therefore so leading me to buy a pair of Vans - "Off the Walls". Walking into schuh, I was gifted with a very large selection - black and white, black and grey, pink and black, chequered, squares... more than I can even remember! Anyway I went for the black and grey chequered ones as they looked cool, and were still quite cheap (I paid £35 for mine). Unfortunately they didn't seem do have my ...  Read the complete review

Oh these shoes annoy me! I don't mind them so much on guys but girls?! come on! what is happening, they are not in least bit feminine! There is nothing sexy about these shoes at all. I am aware that they may be comfortable and casual but there are other options! Nice little ballet shoes look far cuter and come in a whole array of pretty shades. I know this might seem like a strange review but ...girls, if you are considering buying Vans slip ons just to fit in with your emo/scene peer group, just have a look around the shops and you will see so many nicer alternatives! They remind me of the kind of shoes that they used to make us wear in primary ...  Read the complete review

I used to be a Converse kind of gal, but lately I've got into Vans and I am completely hooked! I'm sure a lot of people if they see a pair of checkered shoes will recognise them as Vans, but they do come in a lot of other patterns too. And contrary to popular belief, you do not have to be a teenager/skater/emo to rock a pair of Vans! If you've been living under a rock, let me bring you up to speed. The Vans slip-on has been around for over 30 years, and I can see why. Okay, so when they're not on, they don't look exactly all that attractive. They are pretty similar to the plimsolls you used to have to wear indoors at primary school, but team them with a pair ...  Read the complete review

It could be said that these vans slip ons are quite an icon of our time. Not only are they available in checkers but in a variety of patterns, with the ability to even design your own on the vans website. When I was 16 these were the bee's knees and there was nothing that would stop me from wearing these bad boys. Almost five years on and there is still some kind of pull into the shops that sell these making me want to buy a new pair! The style is perfect, there are no laces and they are so comfortable. It's like wearing slippers outside! The shoe is of a good quality and I experiences no holes or problems with one pair I even wore for about ...  Read the complete review
