Favorite slip-on skate shoe from Vans. Low profile upper with elastic side goring for an easy on/off, and lightly padded ankle collar for support. Finished with the Vans flag label and signature rubber waffle outsole in a vulcanized construction. California legend, Vans "Off The Wall" remains the favorite shoemaker of skateboarders and surfers since 1966. In 1966, the Van Doren Rubber Company opened for business in Anaheim, CA. Since then, Vans has evolved beyond surf and skate sensibilities to draw influence from a Southern California culture that is as diverse as it is progressive.
