My “tween” daughters recently came home from visiting their friends. They were all a buzz about a “new” type of  shoes that their friends were sporting for the upcoming school year. They told me about the cool colors that the shoes came in and exclaimed that they “must have them” for school this year. They then told me of the best feature of the shoe, that there were no laces, you could just slip your foot right inside and go. Remembering my own teen tennis shoe collection, I said “Are they Vans?” They stood in amazement! How could I know about such super cool shoes? They were shocked to find out that not only have the Vans slip-ons been around since 1979; but I too loved the shoes and had many pairs when I was a teen.

At Vans, you can find the original classic shoes available in fantastic colors and styles. One of the things that I was never able to do was create my own pair of Vans shoes, but that is exactly what my girls have done. At Vans you can customize your shoes and make a one-of-a-kind creation that will wow all your friends. Vans offers more than just shoes today. They have clothing, beachwear, sandals, hats, socks, watches, backpacks, and many fun accessories. Always caring about the environment, you an even find super cool organic canvas shoes with recycled rubber outsoles too.

These shoes are so super cool that you will be hard pressed to only buy them for the kids. I must admit, I picked up a pair of slip-ons just for old time’s sake. The fact that my kids think I am the coolest Mom on the planet; well…that is just another fine bonus! Be sure to check out Coupon Cactus for Vans coupon codes.
