When you want a shoe that isn’t really a sneaker and isn’t really a dress shoe, you may wan the Vans Authentic skate shoe. These shoes follow a classic design: canvas upper with contrast stitching over a solid rubber sole. Since they are called skate shoes, you may well have guessed that these shoes are popular with skateboarders. They are a great skating and travel shoe and you will be impressed by how durable the sole is and how well the canvas conforms to your feet. Cheap imitations are available at discount stores, but the best value for your money will always come with buying the genuine product.
