    Wow! You are missing a big part of the story. Those deck shoes were first made for the sail boaters. The word deck came from the deck of the boat. These shoes were made, so as not to slip on the boat deck. It later caught on for the skateboarding crowd. Which I was one of. I bought my first van shoes from their second van store in New Port beach. The reason for this location was to cater to the sailboating crowd. In Newport Beach. I grew up skateboarding. I was not a sailor. Their next store was in 5 points shopping center. Where I bought many pairs of van tennis shoes. The pair I’m wearing right now came from Jacks Surf shop in HB CA. Still loving my Van Shoes.

    I am 77, and I used to buy Mason Shoes. I was always satisfied with their shoes 👞. Mason Shoes were a door to door sales, but before Van's Shoes.

    I noticed a friend wearing vans I like the shoes and bought it 2 months ago for my birthday. When I saw this story before finishing I immediately put them on. I like this brand and will look into another pair after looking at this story of how vans started, I enjoyed this amazing story 👍

    I'm a musician but not a skater. I'll be wearing Vans for the rest of my life. Their skate shoes are really good and reliable. My go-to-shoes for all events, day job and occasions.

      VF Corp. acquired the brand "vans" for $396 million, and 2019.
      Lil Wayne decided to call his footwear brand SPRECTRE, which will include three different designs on the shoe line: Chimera, Griffin, and Kondor.
