The Vans Thread

[grayfox]

Thinking of owning my first pair of Vans. I want them to be slip-ons.

Which is more comfortable, the Pro's or the classic slip-ons? I know the Pro's got a cush insole and the outsole is also thicker.

Does the Pro and classic run the same size?

For me they both run TTS. Pro model is much more comfortable.

Pro slip on is the only one I’ve had to size up by a half size. I’m an 11 in every model except the slip on Pro which I take 11.5.

I’d say try on to be safe.

With that said, the Pro is way more comfortable.

The Pro is what I'm aiming for. This particular model: https://www.tactics.com/vans/slip-on-pro-shoes/anti-hero-pfanner-black

Great choice! I've gotten real lucky with ebay finding previous releases at great prices. One guy threw in an extra pair of the same model in a different color. I was shocked and pleased. 2 pair of suede Old Skools for ~$40.

Black pair looks fresh too but that white pair for Summer is the choice.

Yup, just picked them up. Also, I always wear light colored footwear, unless I am in a suit, and I haven't worn a suit in over 6 years now...

Those are perfect. Suede and canvas? May have to check ebay for a deadstock pair. Very sharp.
