Shoes Of The Day

Vans first came “off the wall” in March of 1966. The first Vans shoes didn’t even have names - they had numbers! The Vans number 44 was their first authentic deck shoe. Vans were the pioneers in the mass production of custom shoes. This is the reason I thought they should be the first review! It all started when one of their customers came into their factory, office and store and said “that’s a nice pink, but I really want a brighter pink.” All it took was that comment from a customer and custom vans were born!

Custom isn’t the most affordable route - be prepared to pay extra for your customizing your shoes. The cool thing is, no one else will have a pair like them - unless you make some killer custom shoes like my friend Lee! Enjoy the shoes of the day: Lee’s custom Vans.
